FREQUENCY: If we are a fit, I require weekly sessions for the first 12 weeks. This is to ensure stabilization in the work.
Do you accept insurance?
I am an out of network provider and I can offer a superbill for your convenience. I am an out-of-network provider and can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. Many clients have out-of-network benefits and receive partial reimbursement. I encourage you to contact your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage.
What is Good Faith Estimate?
A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is a document that provides you with a clear breakdown of the expected costs of your therapy sessions. It is part of the No Surprises Act, designed to help clients better understand and plan for the financial aspects of their care.
Where do you offer therapy?
I offer online sessions for residents across California? Sessions are held by phone or video. I provide therapy to residents of California only.
What is your cancellation policy?
CANCELLATIONS AND MISSED APPOINTMENTS: Your scheduled session time is reserved specifically for you, and the full fee is required whether or not you attend. Each client is allotted one courtesy cancellation per 52-week period for each weekly session they hold (e.g., clients in twice-weekly therapy receive two courtesy cancellations per year).
If you need to cancel, you are welcome to schedule a make-up session during the week before, the week of, or the week after your missed appointment, if our schedules align. I will make every effort to find a time that works.
I typically take the third week of each month for professional development and do not hold sessions that week. I also observe all U.S. holidays and encourage clients to take vacations and holidays therapy-free. You are never charged for sessions I cancel.
If you cancel your appointment, the session fee will be charged by the end of that day.
What can I expect in the first few sessions?
How long does therapy take?
LENGTH OF TREATMENT: The length of therapy varies from person to person. Research from the American Psychological Association (APA) shows that many clients begin experiencing meaningful improvement within 12–18 weekly sessions, especially for acute concerns. Some evidence-based models are designed for about 12–16 sessions, while others continue longer depending on your goals, history, and the depth of the work.
In practice, many clients choose to stay beyond the initial 3–4 months to support more complete healing, integrate new skills, or continue deeper emotional and mind–body work. We will check in together about your progress and adjust the pace as needed to support sustained growth.
Who do you work with?
Adults ages 21 +.
