Online Therapy in California
Therapy for anxiety, depression, insomnia, and stress.
With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring an evidence-based and structured approach to therapy. I am a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) Provider. CBT-I is a highly researched, structured treatment for insomnia that helps you change unhelpful sleep habits and thoughts, restore healthy sleep patterns, and improve long-term rest. I also have advanced training in CBT for anxiety and depression, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Seeking Safety. We can try out several different research backed therapies until we find what is most helpful for you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Welfare from UC Berkeley, and I am currently completing a Master’s in Data Science.
In addition to clinical work, I have spent 4 years as a data manager in a healthcare setting, giving me a firsthand understanding of the stress and complexity faced by professionals in management and executive roles. My work is informed by research and clinical evidence, ensuring that you receive care that is effective, focused, and results-driven.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in California
Many people struggle with insomnia, and it is completely understandable to feel tired, stressed, or discouraged by long nights. Research shows that about one third to one half of adults experience insomnia symptoms, and seven to eighteen percent meet criteria for chronic insomnia.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is one of the most effective and well researched insomnia treatments for improving sleep. It helps you understand the habits, patterns, and thoughts that continue the cycle of insomnia and guides you toward deeper and more consistent rest. I am a certified CBT-I therapist with fifteen years of experience in the field, offering online insomnia treatment, sleep therapy, and telehealth CBT-I across California.
Overview: https://www.sleepfoundation.org/insomnia/treatment/cognitive-behavioral-therapy-insomnia
CBT-I has been shown to help people fall asleep more easily, reduce nighttime awakenings, and improve overall sleep quality, with benefits that often last long term. Many people experience meaningful improvement and often do better with CBT-I than with sleep medication. Sessions are gentle and practical, with small adjustments made each visit based on your sleep patterns and goals. I accept Aetna, Medicare Part B, and private pay. If you are hoping to fall asleep more quickly or maintain restful sleep throughout the night, please reach out for more information or request an appointment whenever you feel ready.
I’m a licensed Medicare therapist in California, offering online therapy for adults with Medicare Part B. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the challenges that come with aging, chronic health conditions, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or insomnia, I’m here to help. I accept traditional Medicare Part B (the red, white, and blue card) and provide therapy through secure telehealth, so you can get support from the comfort of home. I use practical, evidence-based approaches—including CBT, CBT-I for insomnia, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Seeking Safety—and tailor them to what feels realistic and helpful for you.
If you want Medicare-covered therapy online, we can start by reviewing your Medicare Part B benefits together so you know exactly what to expect with coverage and costs. I don’t accept Medicare Advantage plans, but if you have traditional Medicare, we can often start meeting the same week you contact me. If you’re looking for supportive, accessible telehealth therapy and want a clinician who understands older adults, LGBTQ+ clients, and people managing chronic health conditions, feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule your first online appointment.
