Do you accept insurance?

No- I am an out of network provider.

What is the cost?

Sessions are 60 minutes and $300 per session.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

Yes! I am located in Santa Barbara, California. I have a home office in The Mesa. I also see clients located in others parts of California through Zoom. Please note that unfortunately my office is not pet allergy friendly.

Who do you work with?

I work with couples from the early stages of their relationship to navigating relationship challenges after decades of marriage. I specialize in relationships in which one partner tends to shut down or have difficulty addressing issues within the relationship.

What should I expect?

In the first session, I will be gathering the history of your relationship, the strengths and the areas of improvement. Afterwards, I schedule an individual session with each partner to better understand each individual and their life history, which will be influencing how we show up in our relationship. I’ll complete an in-depth assessment of your relationship and develop a plan of action tailored to your relationship.

What strategies do you use for your sessions?

I completed The Gottman Method Level one and two training and a training on Emotionally-Focused Therapy. I tailor the sessions to you and your relationship. I integrate tangible, practical skills for couples to use while also exploring deeper dynamics. We can address communication, conflict, trust, intimacy, connection, parenting struggles and life goals. I also pull from dialectal behavior therapy (DBT) for skills when emotions are big or client’s are feeling overwhelmed during conversations.

What are the premarital therapy packages?

You may want to build communication skills and clarify expectations before moving in together. Or you want to get on the same page about values, family relationships, wedding planning and future dreams. I have two packages that are both tailored to you and your relationship. The first package is practical and solution-focused while the second package goes deeper into relationship dynamics. Packages are paid in full upfront. Sessions must be used within 4 months. No refunds on unused sessions, but you can reschedule with 24 hours’ notice.

How do I get started?

Either fill out the contact form or text me at (805) 909-4008. We will set up a free consultation call to get to know each other better. If we decide to work together then you’ll receive online paperwork to fill out prior to your first session.
