During your first session, we will ask questions to get to know what is bringing you to therapy. Towards the end of the session, we will ask you how it feels speaking with us and we can determine if we are a good fit. If a certain therapist is not the right person to help we will find you the appropriate referral. It may also take a few sessions to determine if we are the right fit.

I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your copay would be. 

Therapy for parents at Thriving California helps you understand how your own childhood experiences, stress, and emotional triggers affect the way you show up with your children and partner. Through evidence-based approaches including psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, and somatic work, we help you break intergenerational patterns so you can parent with more confidence and less overwhelm.

Birth trauma therapy at Thriving California uses a somatic bilateral stimulation model to help parents process traumatic birth experiences. The treatment is typically completed in 3 to 6 sessions and is designed specifically for those who experienced a frightening, painful, or unexpected birth. You do not need to relive the experience in detail for the therapy to be effective.

Yes. We provide postpartum therapy via telehealth to parents across California.
