How we work together
Individual therapy · Intensive work · Community containers
Every person who comes to work with me arrives with a different history, a different pace, and a different sense of what healing even looks like. What I offer reflects that, structured enough to hold you, flexible enough to meet you.
Intensive Therapy · Brooklyn, NY
The Deepening
Somatic Intensive · For threshold moments
The Deepening is a somatic therapy intensive for threshold moments — when something specific has happened and you need more than 45 minutes to move through it. A medical trauma your body is still carrying. A break-up that cracked something open. A betrayal, a loss, a grief that’s waited long enough. The format removes the artificial interruption of weekly sessions, giving you enough room to actually complete something. Drawing from Somatic Experiencing, AEDP, and Parts Work.
When it makes sense:
- Medical or accident trauma — completing the nervous system’s survival response
- Break-ups, betrayal, or relational rupture — the body holds shock long after the mind has processed
- Loss, grief, or sexual trauma — when the work needs more room than weekly sessions can give
- Major life transitions — job loss, immigration, leaving a life behind
- Longstanding trauma that’s finally ready to move
- High-functioning and tired of insight without felt change
Available to existing clients (intensive only) and new clients (full package with prep and integration). New clients should have ongoing therapeutic support elsewhere.

Individual Therapy
One-on-one, held with depth
Individual therapy with me is weekly, 45 minutes. A consistent, recurring container where the real work happens. It is relational, somatic, and experiential. Looking for an intensive format? The Deepening is above.
The Foundation
Where consistent, steady work lives
Weekly therapy, 45 minutes per session. This is the container most people start in — a reliable, recurring space to build trust, deepen self-awareness, and slowly shift the patterns that brought you here. The Foundation is where nervous system regulation becomes possible, where somatic awareness develops, where the work takes root.
Beyond the Therapy Room
Osmanthus Moon
A space for breathwork, embodied practice, and community gathering — rooted in the belief that our lineages carry medicine, and that healing across generations has always been something we do together.

A note on fees
As someone who has been on the client side of therapy, I recognize that therapy is an emotional and financial investment, and it’s important to find a provider who is the right fit for you, both personally and practically.
Therapy can also be paid for with pre-tax dollars from your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA).
Insurance
I am an out-of-network provider. If you have an insurance plan that offers out-of-network benefits, you may be able to get reimbursed for part of our session fees. If that’s the case, I can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance. Payment is due out of pocket at the time of our sessions.
How does insurance reimbursement work?
I’d encourage you to contact the Member Services number on the back of your insurance card to verify your coverage and out-of-pocket costs. Here are some questions to ask:
- Do you have “out-of-network outpatient mental health coverage”?
- What is your out-of-network deductible? Is it the same as your in-network deductible? How much have you accumulated so far this calendar year?
- What is your co-insurance rate for outpatient psychotherapy (% of reimbursement per session) after meeting your deductible?
- What are your plan’s “allowable amounts” for psychotherapy — CPT code 90834 for a 45-min session, or 90837 for a 60-min session?
- How many outpatient therapy sessions are allowed per calendar year?
- What is your out-of-pocket maximum, if any?
- What is the process for submitting claims? Record the mailing address, fax number, or web portal so you’re ready to submit.
- Do you require prior authorization for out-of-network outpatient therapy sessions? If so, please provide the date of the first session and our billing information below.
