Individual Therapy

Individual therapy with me includes 50 minute one-on-one sessions in the office located in Campbell, CA, or virtually through Zoom. This service is offered to teens and adults from all walks of life. I charge between $150-$225 per session and offer sliding scale rates for those experiencing financial barriers.

Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, and we often take things slow. The beginning of individual therapy is about getting to know each other. I will get to know the challenges your are facing, and you will get to know my approach to therapy. The start of therapy may either feel relieving and/or stressful as we begin to understand your patterns better.

“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”

— Audre Lorde

The Beginning: What you are stepping into

The Middle: What to expect in sessions

The End: What changes over time & what comes next

In our sessions, we use guided mediations, visualizations, creative expression, play, humor, movement, toys, sound, and other props to navigate what is coming up for you. Each session is tailored to what you need and we collaborate in clarifying the focus for each session. Many of my interventions are body-based and I will guide you to better understand the physical sensations, emotions, urges, and impulses that contribute to the challenges you're facing. Throughout our sessions, we explore each topic with an open heart and open mind. That means we don't judge patterns, emotions, or symptoms. We hold it with care.

Towards the end of therapy, you may notice a shift in your demeanor, presence, and reactions. This often happens as your self-awareness strengthens, feeling more aligned with your decisions and interactions. You may begin to recognize your power, free will, and autonomy in a deeper way.

At the end, we will reflect on your progress and make steps towards what's next. We'll explore having sessions less frequently, on an as-needed basis, or bringing our work together to a close.
