Essentials and Website Quick Links
Welcome to the Sequoia Counseling practice website! I provide individual therapy to adults and the elderly in California. ​
All Sequoia Counseling psychotherapy sessions are delivered via secure telehealth services. Due to state licensing laws, you will have to be physically present in California during the therapy session. 

If you are interested in starting therapy with me, please email me and we can schedule a time to talk on the phone or via video. This brief 10-15 minute call is complimentary and without obligation. Before starting therapy, I recommend discussing any questions you might have with me and making sure that therapy via telehealth is the best treatment approach for you. 

Sequoia Counseling and Wellness Services is the solution to bring immediate relief and guidance for long term growth to adults when dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or specific health related issues and worries. 

First telehealth session: 
The first session can be nerve-racking; for some, first meetings can be uncomfortable in general!  During the first session, I briefly review therapy procedures so that you know what to expect going forward. You can prepare for the first visit by deciding what you most need help with and what change you are hoping for as a result of therapy. You can also think about questions you might have about your situation. The first session is a time for sharing, clarifying, and focusing in on understanding your concerns. Subsequent sessions will be dedicated to treatment. 

Many times therapy participants are concerned that they won't be understood or that they are alone in their struggles. I am a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience as an independent practitioner. My education, training, and experience will offer understanding and insight that is unique to a professional service relationship.
