I work with adults and couples seeking support for anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, eating disorders, and major life transitions.

Many individuals and couples who contact me share that they have tried therapy before but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged. If this sounds familiar, you may be wondering whether therapy can truly make a difference.

In many cases, therapy has not been effective because the approach was not tailored to the individual. Too often, treatment focuses on making a diagnosis and applying a standard treatment plan rather than truly understanding the whole person. But you are not a diagnosis. You are a unique individual with your own experiences, strengths, challenges, and goals. Effective therapy should reflect that.

Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or caught in recurring patterns they cannot resolve on their own. Others are navigating trauma recovery, communication difficulties in their relationships, or changes in identity, work, or family life.

I provide holistic, evidence-based therapy in Burlingame and Irvine, California for individuals and couples who are ready to engage in meaningful, lasting change.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to discuss why you want therapy and what you hope to gain from the process. We’ll explore your current concerns, discuss your goals, and begin to outline a personalized treatment plan. Sessions are confidential and paced according to your comfort level.

Just as importantly, the first session allows you to get a sense of whether working
together feels comfortable and supportive. Therapy is a collaborative process, and
finding the right fit is an important part of that.

I am the creator of The Primrose Method™, an integrative framework that
explores the interconnected areas of life that influence emotional wellbeing. This
approach allows therapy to be flexible and individualized, incorporating a range of
therapeutic tools and holistic strategies depending on each person’s unique needs.

Many individuals and couples who come to Primrose Healing and Wellness have tried
therapy before but are looking for a more personalized and holistic approach that
addresses the whole person. I provide holistic, evidence-based therapy for anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and eating disorders. My whole-person approach recognizes the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit.

Many challenges that appear “treatment resistant” are often resistant simply because the most appropriate form of healing has not yet been discovered. My goal is to work collaboratively with clients to explore different approaches and develop a treatment plan that truly fits who they are.

Treatment may include trauma-informed therapy, yoga and reiki, nervous system regulation techniques, relational and attachment-focused work, and personalized strategies that support both emotional and physical wellbeing. When aligned with a client’s beliefs, I also integrate spirituality and values into the therapeutic process.

I have a wide community of practitioners that I can reccomend when I do not provide services in-house. My goal is to create meaningful, lasting change by addressing the full person, not just symptoms.

Holistic therapy takes a whole-person approach to healing. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we will consider the connection between your mind, body, emotions, relationships, and spirituality.

At Primrose Healing and Wellness, holistic therapy means integrating evidence-based clinical approaches with attention to nervous system regulation, relational patterns, personal values, and, when appropriate, spiritual meaning. I believe lasting change happens when all parts of a person are supported, not just isolated challenges.

Primrose Healing and Wellness is an out-of-network provider and does not bill insurance directly.

Insurance companies require a formal psychiatric diagnosis in order to authorize and pay for therapy. Not everyone seeking therapy meets criteria for a diagnosis, and some clients, particularly those seeking couples therapy, may not want a diagnostic label placed in their medical record.

When insurance is used, companies may also request information about diagnosis, treatment plans, and session frequency to determine what they consider “medically necessary.” They may limit the number of sessions covered or the types of therapy approved.

I have chosen to remain out of network so that treatment plans can be fully personalized, confidential, and guided by clinical judgment rather than insurance restrictions. If requested, I can provide a superbill for clients who wish to pursue potential reimbursement through their insurance provider.
