Coming Home to Yourself: Embodying Self-Love and Resilience Through Experiential Therapy
Welcome
You are not meant to go through life’s challenges alone. You are wired for connection, and deserve care and support as you traverse life’s greatest transitions and transformations.
Whether you are trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum, moving through the intensity of early parenthood, or navigating complex relationship issues, therapy can be a place to be held, witnessed, to process, to regulate, to repair, and to return to yourself.
I support individual adults and couples throughout California via telehealth, with a somatic and integrative approach that honors the body, mind, and spiritual aspects of your life transitions. Together, we’ll slow down, listen, and weave your nervous system, your lived history, and your current relationships into a path forward that feels grounded, resourced and authentic for you.
In this space all parts of you are welcome, and are gently invited to heal at their aligned pace.
About the therapist
I’m Eve, a licensed marriage and family therapist supporting individuals and couples across California. I work with people in the most emotionally charged and identity-shifting seasons— fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood, and the relationships that are impacted along the way.
My approach is somatic and integrative. I don’t see healing as a purely cognitive process; the body holds what the mind alone cannot resolve. We use the wisdom of the whole system to move toward change. I blend relational, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, mind-body modalities to meet you in the moment, not forcing or rushing an outcome.
As a mother myself, I understand how disorienting and awakening these transitions can be, and how much it matters to have support that is attuned and non-pathologizing.
I’m here to help you trust yourself more deeply, feel safer in your own body, and find your way back to grounded connection within yourself and your relationships.
Services
Individual therapy for adults
One-on-one therapy offers a space to slow down, attune inward, and reconnect with your own inner compass. Together we explore the layered experiences that shape how you move through the external world and how you relate to your inner landscape.
In our work together, experiential exploration becomes an anchor. We track present-moment internal awareness, allowing the body to reveal information that may not yet have words. Sessions may include movement, art, guided imagery, and embodied processing to access deeper layers of meaning and regulation. Alongside this, you’ll learn concrete and practical tools— boundary skills, self care practices, and parenting support. This is therapy that honors intuition, creativity, physiology, and the everyday reality of being human in our modern world.
Our work is collaborative and grounded in safety, curiosity, and your natural capacity to heal. Therapy is a space to release what is no longer needed, reclaim parts of yourself you’ve lost or muted, and create new pathways toward connection, stability, and ease— in your body, your relationships, and your life.
Couples therapy
Couples therapy offers a place to repair, strengthen, and reconnect, especially during seasons that stretch a relationship: fertility journeys, pregnancy, postpartum shifts, and the stressors of early parenthood. Together we slow the moment down so we can understand the patterns between you, not blame either partner.
Using somatic awareness, attachment theory, and experiential relational work, we explore how each of you protects, signals, copes, shuts down, and reaches for connection. We tend to the nervous system, the history each of you brings, and the impact of unmet needs and unspoken injuries.
This work helps you both communicate more honestly, receive each other more clearly, and build the capacity to stay connected through conflict, not just when things are easy. The goal is not perfection. The goal is resilience, safety, intimacy, and partnership that feels like a secure home base for both of you.
FAQs
-
Experiential therapy is form of therapy that focuses on your lived, moment-to-moment experience rather than only talking about thoughts or events. Instead of trying to analyze or ‘fix’ what’s wrong, we gently bring awareness to emotions, body sensations, images, and relational patterns as they arise in the present.
By slowing down and listening to the body and all parts of you, experiential therapy helps uncover deeper truths, shift long-held patterns, and build embodied coherence in your system. Insight and change emerge naturally through experience, often in ways that feel more integrated and lasting than talk-based approaches alone.

No I do not take insurance. I am an out-of-network provider. You may request a superbill (receipt for services) which you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Please note that superbills require a mental health diagnosis. Be sure to call your insurance beforehand to determine your coverage for out-of-network therapy.
If you are unable to afford the out-of-pocket fee for therapy, contact me to inquire about sliding-scale availability.

Yes, my practice is currently 100% video sessions. I use the secure telehealth platform Simple Practice. Clients must be within California to receive services.

Therapy is a weekly commitment. Consistency is essential for the work to be effective, supportive, and transformative.
If you are in a season of needing more support or want to go deeper into your healing work, twice-a-week sessions are available. With more frequent sessions, less time is spent checking in and updating the therapist on your life events, and you are able to more efficiently delve into the transformative work.
-
Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes. If you plan to submit superbills to your insurance, this is the standard session length most insurers reimburse.
I recommend a longer session for your first appointment in order to have enough time to gather information and create a treatment plan together.
For couples therapy, 75-90 minute sessions are ideal.
Longer sessions allow us to go deeper, faster. With more time together, we spend energy staying connected to the core goals you have for therapy. This expanded space supports richer exploration, deeper nervous system regulation, and meaningful emotional shifts that are harder to reach in shorter sessions. It also creates room for genuine integration, so that insight turns into lasting change.
-
The length of treatment varies for each person and depends on your goals, needs, and readiness for change. Some clients find short-term work helpful, while others benefit from longer-term therapy to create deeper and lasting shifts.
Typically, when clients engage in longer and more frequent sessions, they are able to reach their goals in a shorter amount of time.
At the start of treatment, we’ll co-create a treatment plan together. We’ll discuss your progress regularly and collaborate on mapping next steps.
