The services I offer include:
Individual Therapy
Couples Therapy
Therapy sessions with me are 50 minutes in length and require a weekly commitment. Alternate week sessions are only available when phasing off of therapy and are billed at a higher rate.
What Happens in Therapy?
During therapy sessions, we discuss what’s going on in your world. You are empowered to bring up anything that is on your mind. I may also ask questions to bring to light certain things. We have a dialogue during the session. You have time to think and process during the week before we meet again. Therapy works best when you are a full participant in the process so don’t hesitate to assert your own goals for our time together. If you have further questions, we can address them during our initial conversation.
Initial Conversation
I find it valuable to get a chance to talk before scheduling an appointment. This phone call gives you a chance to get a sense of me, and we can both see if it’s a good fit. I do not charge a fee for this important part of the process. Use my contact form, and I will do my best to call during the times you indicate.
Location
I offer in-person sessions and HIPAA-compliant video sessions for persons located in the states of California, Florida, and Washington.

Payment / Insurance
I prioritize the utmost protection of your privacy and confidentiality. As such, clients who work with me either self-pay without using insurance or use their out-of-network insurance coverage.
When using in-network coverage, insurance companies often demand highly detailed information about your history, symptoms, level of functioning, and progress in “treatment,” which all becomes part of your health record. With in-network coverage, insurance companies also assert control over what they will cover, for how long, and even what approach a therapist is to take towards therapy with the client. I care deeply about individuals’ rights to privacy and self-agency. It is for these reasons that I have chosen not to contract with insurance companies for their “in-network” coverage.
Please note: Couples Therapy is NOT covered by out-of-network insurance. While I understand some therapists do see couples and bill it to insurance, this is actually insurance fraud.
I am committed to making therapy accessible and have structured my practice and fee structure so that I can offer 25% of my practice to individuals in need of significantly reduced fees. I offer these reduced-fee spots through a psychotherapy collective called Open Path Collective. Open Path is a nationwide group of therapists who offer significantly reduced fee sessions between $40 - $70 for individual therapy sessions. If you’re interested in one of my reduced-fee spaces, visit my profile on the Open Path website. These reduced-fee spaces are very popular and often full, however, when a space is available it will show on Open Path. No matter your financial situation or insurance coverage, I hope you are able to find a therapist that is ideal for you.
