The main purpose of the consultation is to see if it would be a good fit for us to work with each other. It is important that you feel comfortable with your decision on who you choose to walk alongside your healing journey!

We’ll chat about what you’re looking for in therapy and how I can help. I'll be sharing about my practice (specialty focus, payment options, etc.), and I’ll be happy to answer any specific questions you may have. From there, if we decide that moving forward together will best serve you, then we will schedule the first session.

Sessions take place on a HIPAA compliant video platform. Because I am not physically present with you during the session, there are safety guidelines that we will review during our first meeting so that I can best support you in case of an emergency.

In general, you can join your session as long as:

• you are physically located in California at the time of the session

• you are in a safe, private space

• you have reliable internet connection

• your device is charged well to avoid interruptions in the session

• highly recommended, but not required: hands free device option (laptop or propping your device up) to help make it easier to engage in certain practices during your session.

Who you choose as your therapist is such an important decision! A few factors to consider in your decision is a therapist who you can connect with, who supports the values that you hold, and who is skilled in the areas of growth that you want to focus on.

I am a therapist who is passionate about helping young women of color heal and grow. I hold skills, experience, and focused training for therapy practices that can be effective for BIPOC community members.

As you explore the About page, Therapy for Young Women of Color page, and Mind Body Therapy page, I encourage you to make an informed decision based on what is right for you.

Still not sure? No worries! Feel free to schedule a free 15 minute consultation!

This is called the intake session and the main focus is for me to get to know you more! I would like to know about your current stressors, past difficulties, and future aspirations. We will be going at your pace, so you can share what you’re comfortable with. We will collaborate and create goals for your therapy sessions. These goals will help guide us through our time together so that we can track progress and ensure that we are addressing the areas of growth you want to focus on.

The length of therapy varies from person to person. Some people feel better after a few months, while others need longer. There’s no right or wrong way when it comes to therapy. I do believe that therapy needs to be effective and purposeful for my clients, and I like to check in with my clients to see if there needs to be any changes, or if they have any feedback.

I have a 24-hour cancellation policy

If you are using insurance coverage to pay for sessions, a $130 late cancellation fee will be charged if a cancellation is made with less than 24 hours notice. If you are using a private pay option, then you will be charged for the full session.  

I understand that emergencies happen! I will excuse the first cancellation/no show and will not charge the fee. However, any further cancellations after that may result in charging the cancellation fee.
