Do you accept insurance?

No- I am an out of network provider.

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 who are in the early stages of their relationship. 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 experience working with couples for premarital counseling all the way to couples in their 60s looking to repair.

What is the fee and how long are sessions?

Sessions for couples are 60 minutes and $300.

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. From there, we will begin to work on foundational communication skills and the areas of your relationship that need a little extra TLC.

What strategies do you use for your sessions?

I completed The Gottman Method Level one and two training. I find that it brings tangible, practical skills for couples to use. It can address communication, conflict, trust, intimacy, friendship, and supporting the dreams of each partner. I also pull from dialectal behavior therapy (DBT) for skills when emotions are big or client’s are feeling overwhelmed during conversations.

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.
