FAQ.

What should I expect at my first session?

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and start building a sense of safety and collaboration. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and any background that feels relevant to share. There's no expectation to tell your whole story right away — we'll move at a pace that feels respectful, supportive, and manageable for you.

Do you offer virtual appointments only?

Both. I offer in-person sessions at my Agoura Hills, CA office, as well as virtual sessions for clients located anywhere in California. Telehealth gives clients across the state flexible, private access to care, while in-person sessions are available for those who prefer to meet face-to-face.

Where is your office?

My office is in Agoura Hills, CA, at 28317 Agoura Rd, Agoura Hills, CA 91301 — convenient for clients throughout the greater Conejo Valley and West San Fernando Valley areas. Virtual sessions are available statewide for CA residents who prefer remote care or live further out.

How long do sessions last?

Individual therapy sessions typically run 50 minutes. This standard length allows time for meaningful therapeutic work while supporting emotional regulation and sustainability. Longer sessions are available for Brainspotting, EMDR, couples work, or family therapy, since deeper processing often benefits from more time than a standard hour allows.

What therapy approaches do you use?

I draw from Brainspotting, EMDR, DBT, mindfulness-based approaches, and CBT — matched to what's actually in front of us rather than applied as a fixed protocol. Brainspotting and EMDR are often what I turn to for processing specific traumatic events or stuck points; DBT tends to be more useful for ongoing emotional regulation and relational patterns. Someone processing a single traumatic event needs something different from someone untangling years of relational history, and the approach should follow the person.

Is there a cancellation policy?

Yes. I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. This policy helps protect both your time and the consistency of the therapeutic process.
