Getting started is simple, and I’m here to make it as easy and welcoming as possible. To begin, schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation with me using the contact tab at the top of this page or book instantly here. This step is essential because research shows that the relationship between therapist and client is a key part of meaningful healing. Our consultation call will give you the opportunity to get a sense of how I hold space in sessions. We'll connect while you share your hopes for therapy and explore whether my values and approach align with what you’re seeking. From there, we’ll move together toward the next step, creating a path that feels right for you.

At this time, my practice is fully remote. I offer virtual therapy services to adults residing in California through a HIPAA-secure video platform. This grants accessibility to clients throughout California and allows therapy to occur within client's personal spaces and throughout their busy days. I cannot offer therapy services to individuals residing or visiting outside the state of California.

For private pay clients, the fee for a 50-minute therapy session is $200. All payments are due at the end of the session most major credit cards are accepted. I can provide you with a monthly superbill to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. I encourage you to contact your insurance provider to confirm your out-of-network mental health benefits. Here are a list of questions you can ask your insurance provider. I recognize that financial balance is a crucial factor when seeking therapy, and I offer a limited number of reduced rate spots to help make this space more accessible. Please reach out with questions. I'd love to help make therapy affordable for you!

I do! I am credentialed with Aetna, Optum, Oscar Health, Oxford, and UnitedHealthcare through Alma.

I encourage all new clients to begin with once weekly sessions as this allows us to build rapport and create meaningful treatment goals. I also understand that, due to circumstances, weekly therapy may not be feasible for everyone. We can discuss your unique circumstances to see if an alternative meeting cadence may be appropriate.

I ask that you give me at least 24-hour notice via email, as this allows me to provide your appointment slot to others who may need it. I charge a late cancellation fee equal to the cost of your session for any cancellations made within 24-hours of your scheduled appointment.

What a wonderful question! In our initial session, we'll further explore your reasons for seeking therapy and how I can be of assistance. You don't need to do anything special to prepare for our initial meeting. Simply arrive as you are and begin from where you presently stand. It's common to feel the urge to divulge everything about yourself during the first session, but that can be overwhelming. As time goes on, all of the relevant parts of your story and identity will naturally become part of our work together.
