Getting Started

Free Call

It starts with a free phone or Zoom call for us to meet, to help me clarify what you are looking for, help you understand how I work, and lay out the process of how we would work together.

Form &
60-90 Minute
Session

If it feels like a fit, you’ll fill out a simple online form and we’ll meet for a 60 to 90-minute session, in-person in Aptos, CA, or over Zoom. I believe that the “50-minute hour” is insufficient to get to the heart of matters; I prefer to schedule the full 90 minutes, however, 60-minute sessions are available given particular scheduling needs. Sessions may be weekly or every other week, depending on your needs.

Check-in
& Reassess

After a few sessions, we’ll check-in to determine if you have reached a place of completion with the issue you’ve brought forth, or if there is more you’d like to work on.

Ways We Work Together

I believe in your inner healing intelligence.

My job is to help you unburden yourself from unhelpful ways of being. In the context of a supportive environment, I employ various healing modalities beyond traditional “talking methods”, including:

Experiential Exercises

Hypnotherapy

Dream Work

Myth & Story

Mindfulness Training

Imagery

Using Symbols to Understand the Self
