    Happy to discuss which option is best for you and how insurance can help offset some of the cost during our call!

  • Though I don’t take insurance, I partner with Mentaya, a company that can get you reimbursed 50-80% for therapy using your “out-of-network” benefits.

    It's a service I'm happy to offer my clients who want to work with me, and may want/need to use their benefits to do so.

    Book a consultation or send me a message here if you have questions or want to know more about how this can help you access care with me.

    Additionally, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. You can ask for this before scheduling a service.

    Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical service, including psychotherapy services. Since my services are private pay, you will be provided with a Good Faith Estimate at least 1 day before service or at your request.

    For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

  • Mentaya, the insurance reimbursement service I partner with, can help answer questions about your benefits, but if you’d rather do it yourself, here are some helpful questions to ask:

    • Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health services?

    • How much will you reimburse for each session I attend and pay for?

    • Do I have an out-of-network deductible? How much of it has been met already?

    • Check reimbursement for CPT codes 90791, 90834, 90837

  • I accept card payments via HIPAA secure Simple Practice payment system. HSA and FSA are accepted, as well.

  • Short answer: Most clients work with me for around a year, on average. It goes by quickly though because time flies when you’re changing your life!

    Long answer: I meet with new clients weekly for 45 or 60 minutes. This frequency allows me to get to know you and what you’re up against so we can begin to make progress toward your goals. How long you’re in therapy is based on a few factors, but typically we will both know intuitively when you’re ready to graduate! You are more than welcome to come back for a “maintenance session” after graduation, if needed.

  • I am licensed in California and offer virtual appointments so you can comfortably join session from wherever is most convenient for you.

  • Schedule a 15-minute consultation with me. I’ll give you a call and ask a few questions to learn more about you and what you’ve been experiencing lately. (Hint: You know the answers already.)

    If we both decide we’re a good fit, we’ll book your first appointment! Yay!

    If we’re not, I’ll share some referrals or ideas of where you can look next to make your search easier.

  • Yes! You’re only going to get the most out of therapy if you work with a therapist that works for you, which is why I have created a detailed eguide for this very thing. Click here to snag it!
