Medi-Cal Provider

Hello! Thank you for taking steps towards your personal growth.  I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and thrive, and sometimes extra support is needed to help shift perspective, break patterns, be witnessed and understood, process big emotions safely, and know you’re not alone.

I specialize in supporting adult individuals on their path of awakening and couples on their path of conscious intimacy. I offer guidance in integrating spiritual and “expanded states” experiences, coming to a better understanding of all parts of yourself, and envisioning a life that brings you deeper meaning. We work collaboratively, flexibly and in the present moment. 

I offer a curious and compassionate space for your healing to naturally unfold. This nurturing process can clear the way for reaching your fullest potential as a creatively embodied and purposeful being.

Areas I work in:

✳ Improving sex life, intimacy and relationship issues

✳ Clarifying life path/purpose

✳ Transmuting fear, anxiety and stress

✳ Improving emotional regulation

✳ Handling change and transitions with more grace

✳ Handling loss and grief

✳ “Stuckness” and moving from surviving to thriving

✳ Integrating mind/body/spirit

✳ Recovering from cult & religious indoctrination 

✳ Finding greater meaning through expanded states of consciousness, flow state and spirituality

 I offer in-person sessions in Santa Cruz and Watsonville as well as virtual. Please reach out through the form on this website (Services > Request Appointment) for a free 15-min call.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your therapy sessions will cost. Your fee will be set according to a sliding scale, in collaboration with your therapist, prior to your first counseling session. Total costs depend upon the number of sessions you choose to utilize.

If you have private health insurance and we are not in-network with your plan, please be aware that your costs for therapy may be less by using an in-network provider. This will depend upon your plan's deductible amounts and co-payments. In some cases, counseling at Shine a Light is less costly than using private insurance.

If you hope to use "out of network" benefits through your private insurance, please be aware that many plans will not reimburse for services provided by trainees. Please request an Associate level therapists for out-of-network billing.
