FAQ

My office is located in coastal Oceanside, California.

Absolutely! My practice is primarily remote, and I have clients all around the world.

I generally see clients from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

I start a little earlier and end a little later some days and occasionally will work weekends.

Sessions are one hour.

Yes! I am.

Give me a call!

I offer new clients a free consultation call to see if we’re a good fit.

If we decide to work together, we can schedule your first session from there.

Yes. I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for all cancellations.

I work with everyone! I work primarily with women in their 30’s and 40’s but have male clients and younger and older people, as well.

Each session looks a little different! I generally integrate talking, movement, compassionate touch, sound, and Expressive Arts.

I am happy to offer “assignments” between sessions if that feels supportive!

It’s important to me for you to feel supported and build resiliency even when we’re not in session.

No. I am not a licensed therapist. I work under the life coach umbrella. I’m a Somatic Experiencing™ Practitioner and offer work that many clients find healing, empowering and helpful. 

Clients find working with me to be very supportive. Often, they tell me they are surprised to experience a new way to heal that they hadn’t known was possible. I often work with clients who also have a licensed therapist. I am happy to offer referrals to therapists. Because I am not a therapist I may not be the best fit for everyone. There will be areas that are outside of my scope of practice. I have a wonderful referral network for licensed psychotherapists in the area as well as through the country.

I have years of training and consider myself a lifelong learner! But I am not trained as a therapist.

I have been trained in Expressive Arts, Nature Based Healing, Somatic Experiencing, Compassionate touch, and Attachment Healing. I have three full years of Somatic Experiencing training. I also receive supervision weekly.

I do! One of my superpowers is being a connector. I know quite a few top-notch local therapists, psychiatrists, healers, acupuncturists, body workers, etc., that I can suggest when working together!

It takes a village. If you’re already working with a psychologist or psychiatrist, I’m also happy to connect with them (with your written consent), so we can collaborate and support your healing journey even more!

I love getting to know each client and support them in the healing journey!

It’s an honor to have the opportunity to support you through all the phases of the healing journey.

I have so many….

Most recently, I’ve been loving Nurturing Resilience, by Kathy Kain and Steve Terrell; In an Unspoken Voice, by Peter Levine; The Body Keeps Score, by Bessel ven Der Kolk; and The Artist Way, by Julia Cameron is a lifelong favorite!
