Welcome to my psychotherapy and consulting practice.

I recognize that psychotherapy is a personal journey and I respect and work towards meeting the individual needs and concerns of my clients.

I provide individual counseling and psychotherapy for men, women and teens and specialize in relationship coaching with couples. 

I offer telemedicine sessions using HIPAA-approved video-conference software, I work with clients throughout California.

In my practice, I create a safe, professional, compassionate, and supportive environment where it is possible to learn about yourself and begin to live the life you want.

I'm easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and direct.

I use an intuitive and humantistic approach along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and provide insight into why we think and act the way that we do."

I also bring over 30 years of corporate and business experience in technology, manufacturing, marketing, finance, and project management and provide consulting to those women and men who are facing challenges in their careers.

 

 

Specialities

I provide psychotherapy for men, women and teens for: 

  • Anxiety and Depression
  • Anger and Defiance
  • ADD and ADHD 
  • Couples and Relationship Counseling
  • Family Therapy
  • Grief
  • Parenting Support
  • PTSD and Panic Attacks
  • School Problems

  • Personal and Executive Consulting

Individuals and Couples 

I believe that you deserve to be happy, loved and respected.  

Are you sometimes frustrated, angry, anxious, depressed or hurt because you feel "ignored", "put down, or "not good enough"?; 

Do you "walk on eggshells" or fear confrontation?

Do you struggle with hurt feelings, anger, frustration, depression, anxiety or a lack of intimacy?  

It doesn't have to be that way.

Do you want to be "empowered" in your relationships and be appreciated for who you are?  

Open communication, loving and caring are much better ways to show someone how you feel even when you are upset.  

Let me teach you about boundaries and communication skills and show you how to create healthier and more satisfying relationships.  

Call me for a free consultation at 760-766-1622

Children and Teens

Does your teen or pre-teen feel frustrated or angry in school, or at home?   Do you?

Are homework and grades a struggle? 

Is your teen defiant?  

Does she or he get angry when they don't get what they want?

Is your pre-teen or teen exploring or questioning their sexuality and struggling with who they are, or, are they already farther down that path?  

Call me for a free consultation about what is happening at 760-766-1622.

Information You May Find Useful
FAQ

How often will I come in for sessions?

That’s a good question. I have found that, in this work, just like trying to build strength or improve your golf game, you get better with more frequent sessions. That usually means weekly though, at times, there may be a need or desire to come in more often. Working on yourself less frequently than once a week doesn’t offer you the chance to make changes in your life; conversely, when you are in need, more frequent visits help you to get through a difficult period.

How long does it take?

This is difficult to predict. I ask clients to give the process at least 12 sessions for the process to start making a difference.  You should expect to feel somewhat better in the first 12 weeks and you will begin to notice changes and have more awareness.  However, most issues have deeper roots and dealing with those issues takes time.

Do you take insurance?

The answer to that question is complicated based on your situation. Insurance companies require a mental health disorder diagnosis to cover the costs of treatment. Many of my clients prefer to deal with their insurance companies on their own or not to submit my invoice receipts because they want to protect their personal information. There is no way I can guarantee the confidentiality of your personal information once it leaves my office.  

I am a provider for armed service members and their families through TRICARE. For all other clients, I provide a "super-bill" for my services, as an "out-of-network provider" that you can submit that to your insurance company for reimbursement.  If you have a PPO medical insurance, your reimbursement may be from 30%-60% of my fee for "out-of-network" providers.

What are my fees?

The fee for a 50 minute session is $180 for individuals, teens and family sessions.  Extended sessions are prorated based on the 50-minute fee (at $3.60/minute).

Couples sessions are scheduled for 75 minutes at a fee of $270.  

I do offer a sliding scale for my fees.

How do I pay you?

I take Zelle and credit cards to pay for the session at the beginning of each session unless otherwise agreed to.

How do I reach you if I have to?

The best way to reach me is to call our office voicemail [760-766-1622] and leave a message. I will be notified that you left a message and get back to you as soon as I can. I am not available after 10:00 pm or before 7:00 am. If you have an emergency, you need to call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room. When in doubt, please act in your best interests and for your own safety.

THE NO SURPRISES ACT

A Good Faith Estimate will be provided to patients for recurring services scheduled within the calendar year.   

More on the No Surprises 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.
  • 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 healthcare 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.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

The No Surprises Act (H.R. 133) went into effect on January 1, 2022,
