Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me with…?
My private practice focuses on anxiety, stress, self-esteem, life transitions, burnout, grief, and relationship dynamics. At this time, I’m not seeing couples or clients under age 18.
Do you take health insurance?
I don’t bill insurance directly, but I can provide a Superbill at the end of each month. You can submit this to your insurance company for possible reimbursement (depending on your plan).
What is your rate?
Each 50-minute individual psychotherapy session is $165.
Do you only meet online?
Yes - I offer live, face-to-face therapy via a HIPAA-compliant video platform. This ensures privacy and allows us to meet from wherever you are in California.
How does payment work?
You’ll pay in full immediately after each session. I use Ivy Pay (a HIPAA-secure system) - you’ll receive a text link to enter your payment (debit, credit, HSA/FSA). After our first session, you may choose to store your card on file to make payment smoother.
