FAQs

  • My fee for services is $225 per 50-minute session. I have a limited amount of sliding scale slots that will be prioritized for BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ clients. There is no guarantee that any of these will be available at the time you call. Please let me know if you need sliding scale fees during our call. If I cannot accommodate, I am happy to point you in a direction to meet your financial needs.

  • I am currently considered to be an out of network mental health provider.

    I am happy to provide you a superbill each month to give to your insurance. Please check with your insurance about your out of network mental health benefits - many of my clients are able to get reimbursement from their insurance.

    Why you should consider working with an “out of network” therapist:

    • No limitations on sessions. We can meet for as long as you need without having to worry if insurance will cut us off, abruptly ending your care.

    • Allows me to offer you more flexible, personalized, and intentional care.

    • Helps me keep your information completely confidential, without needing to share diagnosis or notes with insurance companies.

    • Allows us to avoid surprise billing issues, which can lead to lapses in treatment.

    • Lets us focus on what’s best for you, not what insurance says is best for you!

  • I am currently holding all sessions virtually, which is great for convenience, accessibility, and consistency.

    Due to licensure regulations, I am unable to work with clients outside of California.

  • I pull from multiple theories and modalities to best tailor care to your individual needs.

    I primarily work from a relational, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach. This means that I prioritize collaboration and our relationship in your care. I lean towards a depth oriented, attachment, and trauma focused lens. I am also trained in EMDR for those looking to find relief from complex trauma.

    If you have any questions about my modality or trainings, please ask!

  • We will meet weekly for one 50-minute session. I find that meeting at least 1x/weekly provides the most meaningful support for my clients. Occasionally I will recommend a higher frequency for clients who need more containment and support. My style of therapy works well for clients looking for sustained, longer term therapeutic care.

  • During the first few sessions we will spend most of our time getting to know each other. I will need to catch up and hear some history about your experiences to get the full picture of what led you to reach out and how I can support you. I also check in during these sessions to make sure that our work together is still feeling like a good fit for your needs.

    We will also work together to identify areas you are feeling stuck or needing support in. While it is helpful that we have overarching goals that we are working towards, please know there is space for the week to week things as well!

    I typically start sessions with a warm hello, and ask how you are doing. Then we go from there! :)

    If you are coming for EMDR specifically, this process will look a little different. We will talk through what EMDR treatment will look like, and build up coping skills together in our first sessions.
