Frequently Asked Questions

Where Do I Start?

Let's start with a free 20-minute consultation call to find out if we might be a good fit. We will discuss your reasons for coming to therapy, I'll answer any questions you have, and perhaps we can schedule your first session.

What Are Your Fees? And Do You Accept Insurance?

Individual sessions are 50 minutes and the fee is $190.00. Couple sessions are 60 minutes at a fee of
$210. Longer therapy sessions may be available and are pro-rated at15-minute increments. These are my cash fees and are competitive and within the normal and customary range for mental health services in the Bay Area. Fees are subject to a nominal increase after one year of treatment.

I do not accept insurance, however, if your insurance plan reimburses some percentage of the fee for out-of-network providers, I can offer a “superbill” for you to submit to your insurance provider for that reimbursement. Please note that insurances set their own fees for reimbursement.

What Forms of Payment Do You Accept?

I will collect credit card information from you at the end of our first session if we schedule a subsequent session. However, I will only charge your credit card in the case of delinquent payment. I do not accept credit cards for regular, on-going treatment.

I do accept check, Venmo, and Zelle. You are responsible for paying the session fee at the time of services rendered.

How Often Will We Meet? In-Person or Virtual?

Consistency is an essential aspect of therapy. I meet with clients a minimum of one session per week. Once we agree on a regular time(s) to meet during the week, I will reserve those hours for you.
I am currently only accepting clients who can work both in-person and virtually. I can work with any client who resides anwywhere in the state of California.
