*A note on Ocote**As a fire carrier in the Mexica tradition, we use ocote—a resin-rich pine wood—to light ceremonial fires. This act is one of presence, care, and connection—much like the work I do as a therapist. Naming my private practice Ocote honors this lineage and reflects my commitment to tending healing like a flame: patiently, purposefully, and with reverence for the sacred stories we each carry.
Offerings
Consultation
20 Min/Free
During this brief 20-minute phone or video call, we’ll explore if we are a good fit. We can discuss what’s bringing you in, we can go over any questions you have about me, therapy and our work together, as well as logistical details like payment, paperwork, insurance, scheduling, and accessibility needs.
If we decide to work together, you’ll complete a registration packet before our first session.
Intake Appointment
60 Min/$220
Our first session is called an intake session, where we’ll talk more in-depth about what brought you or your child to therapy and what you’re hoping to get out of it. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other better, share some of the story, and set some intentions/goals for working together.
55 Min/$170
In our ongoing therapy sessions, I’ll accompany and support you or your child through life’s joys and challenges. Along with addressing current stressors, we’ll work together to identify patterns and process past experiences that might be impacting how you want to show up and experience the world.
I typically see folks weekly or bi-weekly and we can decide together how often we would like to meet.
