Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance. However, I am able to provide superbills which can be submitted to your insurance carrier for reimbursement. Reimbursement rates vary depending on your deductible and insurance policy.
To verify benefits with your insurance, you can call your carrier directly using the following script to gather information about your reimbursement rate:
“Hi, I’m interested in beginning psychotherapy with an out-of-network provider. What’s the reimbursement rate on my policy for out of network mental health providers? And what is the deductible I need to meet prior to reimbursement beginning on my policy?”
Do you offer sliding scale pricing?
I offer a limited number of income-based sliding scale spots. I’m happy to discuss fees during your free phone consultation. Sliding scale spots are reserved for those who are committed to weekly sessions.
How much do sessions cost?
$200 for individual therapy (50-minute weekly sessions)
$215 for couples or family therapy (50-minute weekly sessions)
Do you see clients in-person?
I meet with clients virtually only, throughout California.
Do you see clients bi-weekly?
I work with clients on a weekly basis. There are a few reasons for this. Clinically, bi-weekly sessions tend to feel more like catching up than moving forward. Weekly sessions create the space and momentum needed for deeper exploration and real progress. Relationally, consistency is foundational to building a strong therapeutic relationship, and meeting regularly helps establish the trust and rhythm that makes the work meaningful. And practically, weekly sessions allow me to hold a dedicated time for each client, so our work together has a reliable, protected place in both of our schedules.

Do I need a dietitian if I'm working with you on disordered eating?
In many cases, yes, and here's why:
For clients with specific active disordered eating behaviors, therapy addresses the psychological relationship with food, while a dietitian handles the practical, nutritional side. They can get specific about what you're eating, how you're eating, and build a plan tailored to your preferences, lifestyle, and individual needs. Working with a team rather than a single provider typically leads to better outcomes, and I'll often recommend this if it's relevant to your treatment. If you don't already have a dietitian, I'm happy to help you identify someone who might be a good fit.
