I offer a free 20-minute phone or video consultation to anyone considering working with me. Choosing a therapist is a meaningful decision, and I believe a real conversation goes a long way. It's a relaxed, no-pressure chance for us to connect, for you to share what's bringing you to therapy, and for you to get a feel for my approach before committing to anything.

The cost for therapy is $170 for a 50-minute individual session and $180 for a 50-minute couples session.

I am a private-pay therapist and do not bill insurance directly. For clients who wish to utilize their out-of-network benefits, I'm happy to provide a monthly superbill — a detailed receipt you can forward to your insurance company. From there, your insurer will reimburse you directly for whatever portion your plan covers.

Since reimbursement amounts differ depending on your specific plan, I encourage you to reach out to your insurance company to understand what your out-of-network coverage looks like. It is worth asking, many providers will cover full or partial out-of-network therapy services!

I do! I reserve a limited number of sliding scale openings for clients who may need additional financial flexibility. If cost feels like a barrier to starting therapy, I welcome you to reach out and ask about current sliding scale availability.

Both options are available. I offer remote sessions via phone or video to clients all over California, and in-person sessions are available at my office in Lafayette, CA. I also offer walking therapy in Oakland and Berkeley.

Unless otherwise agreed upon, I charge the full session fee for all appointments that are canceled or changed with less than 24-hours notice.

I do understand that some things are simply out of our control — if that happens, don't hesitate to reach out.

I am licensed to provide therapy in California. If you are outside of California and interested in services, feel free to contact me and I can provide referrals.

Therapy sessions are 50-minutes long. The number of therapy sessions depends on your goals. A good deal can be accomplished in a few sessions. At the same time, some of my clients choose to attend therapy long term. We can talk about your goals and what would be the best fit for your needs.
