Below are insurances commonly accepted by our providers. Prior to services, a courtesy benefit check is completed as we cannot guarantee services are covered. If a family has an insurance that is not listed below, we would be happy to verify benefits for services. Additionally we have two alternative payment options for families if utilizing insurance is not an option. We offer a significantly discounted rate which is due the day of services as well as our sliding fee scale which is income dependent.

Training and Credentials:

My experience has allowed me the opportunity to work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, chronic illness, PTSD/complex trauma, ASD, ADHD, grief/loss and parenting/marital issues. I am trained in the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention, Behavioral Activation, Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Gottman Couples Therapy and Mindfulness. I am currently under the supervision of Jessica Stiteley, MS, LMFT.

 

I am passionate about helping people find well-being despite the difficulties and trials life may throw at them. I believe this goal is best accomplished through a collaborative, strengths-based approach, using a systemic lens, and incorporating evidence-based approaches that show positive outcomes. I welcome the opportunity to explore your spiritual strengths as a Christian therapist.

TESTIMONIALS

“The group was very good, and it calmed me down a lot. When you feeling stressed this class is a time to just relax and think about everything and it soothes your mind.”   “I liked that every time I needed to relax or talk about something I would not get judged that place was a free spot.”   “Being in the relax group really helped me become calm, and know what to do in times when I’m overwhelmed. The Relax Group also helped me focus on everyday tasks, and the group gave some incredibly good advice :)”
Student feedback about a Relax Group
School-based mental health services allow a child to receive much needed services regularly without the inconvenience of scheduling around after school activities or parents having to take time off work.
SBMH Mental Health Therapist
As a parent having the School Based Mental Health available has been very helpful with my child.  The process has gone smoothly from the initial contact to being able to choose a therapist that may work best with my child to the therapist working directly with my child.  This is also helpful that they are able to come directly to my child at the school so that they are missing less school and I as a parent need to miss less work as well.  Overall the whole experience has been a positive one for both myself and my child.

“I liked how they gave me strategies and not just one but many so I could choose what I liked and didn’t like!”
CFAUSD Student
As a therapist, having the School Based Mental Health available for students is very important in many aspects. School is an area where children spend a great amount of their time and the schools are able to work with the therapists to help in any areas that they may be struggling in.  The schools have all been very open with working with me as a therapist and the children are able to still get services that are needed for either home or school issues without having to miss more time at school since the therapy is able to be done right at the school settings.  Being able to provide this service for families is a great asset for everyone involved.
School Based Mental Health Therapist
You made this process super easy and helped me every step of the way to ensure that my student is set up for success. In following up with me and making sure we were taken care of shows that you care about the students and their wellbeing. Thank you so much for making this as easy as it was, I truly appreciate everything!
