Fill out the Contact form on my website and we can set up a free 15-minute consultation call to see if we are a good match.

If we are, we will schedule our first session and I’ll send you some paperwork to complete. This will be done online through Simple Practice.

Our first session will 50-minutes and focused on getting to know you, what you are struggling with and to set up some goals for our work together.

I offer in-person appointments to North Bay locals. My office is located downtown Petaluma, upstairs in the McNear Building.

I offer tele-health appointments to anyone throughout the state of California.

I use a secure platform called SimplePractice for scheduling, video sessions, billing, and paperwork. It helps keep everything in one place and easy to manage. You'll get email reminders, can fill out forms online, and join video sessions with just a click. It’s designed to be private, user-friendly, and supportive of your therapy experience.

I charge $175 for a 50-minute session. At this time, I’m not on any insurance panels. I understand that therapy can be a financial commitment, and I want to make it as manageable as possible for you. I encourage you to reach out to your insurance provider before starting therapy to see if my services might be covered in full or in part.

If your insurance allows for reimbursement, I’m happy to provide a "Super Bill" (a detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Feel free to ask me about this if you’re unsure how it works—I’m happy to help however I can.

I typically recommend starting with weekly sessions so we can dive in and build a strong foundation. As you start feeling better and more confident, we’ll space out sessions and eventually work towards wrapping up therapy when you feel ready. My goal isn’t for you to be in therapy forever; I want to help you gain the tools and confidence to handle life’s challenges on your own, so you feel empowered to face whatever comes your way.

Whether you're looking for short-term support or something longer-term, I’m flexible and happy to work with you however best fits your needs. I also welcome clients to come back for support at any time—whether you’re returning for a quick tune-up or looking for more in-depth help.

I’m here to support you, but I don’t offer on-call or emergency services. If you’re in immediate crisis, please don’t hesitate to call 911 or reach out to the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. You can also contact the Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) in Santa Rosa at (707) 565-4970, located at 2225 Challenger Way.

Your safety and well-being are the top priority, and these resources are available to help you through difficult moments.

LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and have a clinical license through California’s Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS). This means I’ve completed thousands of hours of supervised clinical work, passed two licensing exams, and adhere to ethical and professional standards to provide therapy. My license number is #104760.

PMH-C stands for Perinatal Mental Health Certification. I earned this credential through Postpartum Support International (PSI), the leading organization supporting perinatal mental health. To receive this certification, I completed advanced training in pregnancy and postpartum mental health, passed a national exam, and demonstrated ongoing commitment to working with birthing people and new families.

Why does this matter?
These credentials mean that I’ve gone through extensive training to support people through the emotional and psychological challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, and beyond. To maintain both my license and certification, I complete continuing education (CEUs) regularly—especially in areas like perinatal mental health, trauma, and evidence-based treatment. That helps me stay current and give you the best possible care, rooted in both compassion and research.
