FAQ

What services do you provide?

Individual therapy

Your therapy will be tailored to you to meet your personal goals. In our first few sessions, we will identify what you want to achieve in therapy. In each session, we will explore small changes that you can make to take you closer to meeting your goals. I will often offer ideas, strategies, and methods for you to use outside of our sessions. You get to decide what ideas work for you to implement in your daily life.

Online therapy

In addition to in-office therapy, I offer online therapy for California residents. Let me know if you are interested in online therapy and we can discuss whether it is right for you.

Is the first session awkward?

Many of my clients tell me that they were nervous about the first session. I know it can be hard to talk about the things that brought you to therapy, especially with a new person. In order to make therapy feel comfortable and safe, I use compassion, humor, and encouragement to build my relationship with clients.

What is your fee? Do you take insurance?

My fee is for individual sessions is $150. I have a few spaces reserved for those who cannot afford my full fee and can offer them when they are open.

I am in-network with Cigna, UnitedHealthCare/Optum, and HMC Healthworks. I am an out-of-network provider for most insurance companies, and am happy to provide you with a form to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. You will be responsible for the full fee at the time of the session, and your insurance may reimburse you for a percentage of the cost.
