Clients at Awespired are youth, young adults, parents, educators or school staff, clinical trainees, and school leaders. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life changes, parenting challenges, a new career, burnout, or barriers to educational system transformation, I'll tailor our work to meet your unique needs and goals.

Awespired currently provides in-person, virtual, and home-based counseling, coaching, clinical supervision and educational consulting services. Our virtual counseling, coaching, and clinical supervision services are available for residence throughout California. Our in-office counseling, coaching, and clinical supervision services are available in San Diego, California (Rancho Penasquitos). Our school-based counseling and clinical supervision services are available with prior approval from the district in San Diego, California.  Our educational consulting services are available both virtually and in-person (nationwide).

Choosing a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a master's in public health as your coach means you’re working with a professional who brings both clinical skills and a holistic, systems-based perspective to your personal growth. With a deep understanding of the role physical health, emotional regulation, connection, purpose, and self-efficacy have on well-being, I offer more than surface-level strategies. I bring expertise in mind management, holistic wellness, and neuroeducation to help you experience sustainable, values-aligned change.At Awespired, coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s an integrative process rooted in science, soul, and story, with support provided to help you to regulate your mind, align your habits with your values, and move forward with intention and purpose. Whether you're navigating life transitions, parenting challenges, or professional growth, your experience at Awespired will be grounding, personalized, and transformative.

Yes — I can absolutely be part of the team that supports your child’s well-being and growth at school. With experience as a district level 504 Coordinator and a Special Education School Social Worker, I believe in close collaboration between students, families, and educators in creating clear, simple, and supportive plans to meet a student’s unique needs. Rather than simply advising you to “ask for an IEP or 504,” I will approach supporting a student from a place of curiosity, knowing that accommodations and services are best when they are customized for the individual student in a specific learning setting. Together as a team, we will identify your child's needs, explore options for available support, and ensure ongoing communication between all team members. Because at Awespired, when families and schools work in partnership, students are more likely to thrive.

Counseling/Therapy ServicesAwespired is an in-network provider with Optum, UnitedHealthcare, and Aetna (starting in September). If you have Optum, UnitedHealthcare, or Aetna insurance, please contact the number on your insurance card to see if you will be required to pay the in-network negotiated rate or a copay for services. All rates for counseling/therapy services are set by your health insurance provider. In addition, most PPO plans cover a percentage of counseling/therapy services for providers outside of their network. If you choose to use your out-of-network benefits, I will provide you with a receipt for mental health services (called a superbill) that includes the information to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please note that there is no guarantee that counseling/therapy services will be covered within your specific plan. I suggest that you contact your health insurance provider for more specific details regarding your mental health benefits.Coaching, Clinical Supervision, and Educational Consulting Services Coaching, clinical supervision, and educational consulting services are not covered by insurance.

Fees for ServicesAt Awespired, sessions are both reflective and practical; honoring your experiences while building meaningful skills that can be applied in your everyday life. When working with children and adolescents, I consider myself part of their broader circle of support, collaborating closely with parents and school staff to ensure care is aligned and cohesive across settings. This approach is designed to foster not only insight, but lasting, meaningful transformation.My fees reflect a depth of dedication to well-being that extends beyond the therapy or coaching session. In addition to face-to-face or virtual session time, fees include time for ongoing review of progress on personalized goals, individualized activities and material preparation, and continual review of effective practices.

Counseling/Therapy ServicesUnder the law, health care providers are required to give clients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of counseling/therapy services. This estimate includes the cost of individual counseling/therapy sessions and any related services. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the charges. For more information regarding your Good Faith Estimate, visit: www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellation of counseling or coaching sessions to avoid a fee. In-person sessions may be changed to telehealth with at least 6 hours advanced notice.
