My work is relationship focused, person-centered and draws heavily from mindfulness psychology (specifically trauma sensitive mindfulness) and existential therapy. I am also completing the final stage of a three year certification in Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) Trauma Therapy, which is a body oriented trauma healing model. You can learn more about SE™ here.

Some key things that I support people with are building inner trust and attunement to one’s needs, finding relief from anxiety through the cultivation of self-regulation and nervous system support, navigating loss and major life transitions, healing from traumatic events, past or present, exploring ways of living in alignment with one’s desires, and creating a relationship with one’s self that is rooted in compassion and acceptance.

I offer 60 minute sessions for $110.

I do not take insurance at this time. However, I do believe in making therapy as accessible as possible, and so I save a few spots for a sliding scale fee through Open Path Collective. You can learn more about Open Path Collective here.

My sliding scale slots are currently full, however I do keep my Open Path Collective profile updated if new slots open up. Please feel free to reach out to me or check here for updates.

My work at Rooted Self Therapy is with adults of all ages. I also run groups for adolescents through my work at the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO).

As a first step, I offer a 15 minute phone consultation to help us assess if working together is a good fit. Once we have decided to move forward, I’ll send you some intake forms to fill out and sign, and then we schedule our first session from there.

At this time, I am only offering virtual sessions. My hope is to offer both options in the future.

The federal No Surprises Act became effective Jan. 1, 2022. It applies to all healthcare providers in the U.S. and contains provisions to help protect consumers from surprise medical bills.

As a result of the No Suprises Act, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

As described in the informed consent, you have the right to decide at any time not to receive therapy from me. You have the right to end therapy at any time without any moral, legal, or financial obligations other than those already accrued.
