Private Counseling
reconnect with yourself
Working Together
Stress, anxiety, and trauma don't only affect how we think, they shape how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world. During difficult times, these experiences manifest as emotional overwhelm, disconnection, or feeling stuck.
​
At Rooted Works, I offer a grounded, holistic approach to psychotherapy that honors both emotional and relational depth. Our work is collaborative and at your comfort level. I'm not here to judge, force change, or tell you how to feel. Instead, I listen, support reflection, and help you build awareness naturally so change can unfold at a sustainable pace.
​
There's no technique you need to master or routine you need to follow. You simply show up as yourself, wherever you are. Together, we can create the space for clarity, connection, and growth you've been searching for.
Exploring Together
Private counseling can support you if you're navigating:
​
-
Stress, anxiety, or overwhelm

Integrative Psychotherapy Approach
Over the last 15+ years, I've trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including:
​
-
Trauma-informed psychotherapy
-
Somatic awareness and integration
-
Somatic CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
-
DBT-informed (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) principles

Attachment-based therapy

I help you work with your thoughts, emotions, body, and lived experiences, so real, meaningful growth becomes something you can understand, integrate, and carry into daily life.
​
Sessions are gentle, collaborative, and always tailored to you.

How Much are Sessions?
60-minute private session: $250
​
Rooted Works is a private-pay, out-of-network practice. I do not take insurance. I'm happy to provide an insurance reimbursement form for clients to submit to their provider themselves. Coverage varies by plan and is not guaranteed.
​
Sessions are offered online or in person in San Diego. I also work with New Jersey clients via secure telehealth.
​
If you're not sure where to start, you're welcome to schedule a free 15-minute call with me to discover how we can work together. You don't have to do this alone. I'm here when you're ready.​

Support for Teens & Families
It can be overwhelming to be a teenager. We've all been there. I offer a steady, supportive space where teens can learn to understand their emotions, build healthy habits, and feel more confident.
​
Patience and safety are my top priorities. I help teens comfortably open up, explore what they feel inside, and learn practical tools for healthy coping. Often, this work involves helping parents more clearly understand the needs of their teen.
​
If your teen is struggling or simply needs a space to talk, I'm here to support both of you.
