I'm so glad you're here! Before you schedule an appointment, I want to make sure we're a good fit — practically speaking. Taking a few minutes to read through this will help us make the most of our time together.

Virtual Sessions in California

All sessions are held virtually. I work exclusively with clients located in California. Therapy is regulated by state licensure, which means I can only provide therapy to clients who are physically in California at the time of each session.

Fees

Fees are due on the day of service. I accept credit/debit card, HSA/FSA funds, and Zelle.

Individual Therapy

  • Intake Session (80 min) — $300

  • Ongoing Sessions (50 min) — $200

Couples Therapy

  • Intake Session (110 min) — $350

  • Ongoing Sessions (75 min or 50 min) — $280 or $250

Insurance

I am an out-of-network provider, which means session fees are paid out-of-pocket, and I do not bill insurance. Depending on your plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement for individual therapy sessions. I provide a monthly superbill you can submit yourself, or I can invite you to Mentaya — a service that handles the reimbursement process automatically for a 5% fee per session.

Couples therapy is typically a private-pay service. Insurance reimbursement requires a mental health diagnosis, which a couple sometimes does not qualify for. In some cases, one or both members may meet criteria for a reimbursable diagnosis — and if that diagnosis becomes a clinical focus of the therapy, insurance billing may be possible. This will be evaluated during your intake session. You're welcome to check your potential benefits below as a first step, though whether reimbursement is possible will depend on the diagnosis determined at intake.

What the process looks like

You can book a complimentary consultation using the button below. For couples therapy, both partners will need to be present for the phone consultation.

While I recommend weekly sessions in order to create space and momentum for deep work, we can always tailor frequency to your specific needs and goals.

I treat the first few sessions as a trial period for both of us. If at any point it doesn't feel like the right fit — for either of us — we can end our work together, and I will provide appropriate referrals to support your continued care.

Available Times

My office hours are Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM till 2 PM. If you need a specific time slot, please let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate you.

Still have questions?

You are welcome to email me and I will get back to you shortly.

I look forward to supporting you!
