Investing in What Matters
Therapy is an investment in your well-being, your relationships, and the life you want to build.
My goal is to make the process clear and straightforward, so you can focus on what matters most: your care.
Simple, transparent fees.
Below are my standard session rates.
If you have questions about payment, superbills, or out-of-network benefits, we can talk through the process before you begin.
Individual therapy offers a place to understand what has been weighing on you and look more closely at the patterns shaping your life.
Couples therapy offers a place to understand what keeps happening between you and have the conversations that have become difficult.
A clear approach to payment.
I do not accept or bill health insurance. Services are private pay, which means you pay the session fee directly.
If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may request a superbill to submit for possible reimbursement. Your insurance plan determines whether reimbursement is available.
Payment and billing are handled through the secure systems used by California Counseling Collective.
You have a right to understand the expected cost of your care.
Because services are private pay, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care. You may also ask for one before scheduling.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than the amount listed on your Good Faith Estimate from that provider, you may have the right to dispute the bill through the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process.
You Have Questions, I Have Answers
A few practical things people often want to know before beginning therapy.
Do you accept insurance?
No. I do not accept or bill health insurance. Therapy is private pay.
If you have out-of-network benefits, you may request a superbill for possible reimbursement.
Can I use my out-of-network benefits?
If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may request a superbill to submit for possible reimbursement.
Coverage varies by plan, so contact your insurance company directly if you want to understand your benefits before beginning.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are held virtually through the secure systems used by California Counseling Collective. Clients must be located in California at the time of the session.
How often will we meet?
We will talk about frequency based on what brings you to therapy and what feels appropriate for the work.
How long will I be in therapy?
There is not one timeline that fits everyone. We can keep talking about how the work is feeling and whether it continues to be useful to you.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on?
No. You may know exactly why you are reaching out, or you may only know that something feels off. That is enough to begin.
What happens in the first session?
The first session gives us time to begin understanding what is bringing you in and gives you a chance to get a sense of me and how I work.
What is your cancellation policy?
Your first cancellation with less than 24 hours’ notice will be waived. After that, cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee.
Do you work with couples?
Yes. I work with couples who want to understand recurring conflict, distance, and what keeps happening between them.
Is virtual therapy private?
Sessions are provided through secure systems used by California Counseling Collective. You will want to join from a private place where you feel comfortable speaking openly.
What if I am in crisis or need immediate help?
This website and email are not monitored as crisis services. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
In the United States, you can also call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
