What to Expect
Starting therapy often brings practical questions. Below you’ll find details about how I work, session logistics, and what to expect—so you can move forward with more clarity and ease.
I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation so we can briefly connect, talk about what’s bringing you in, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
If it does, we’ll schedule a 50-minute initial session to begin.
Individual sessions are $225. A limited number of sliding scale spots are available; you’re welcome to ask about current availability.
Our first session is a space to gently explore what’s bringing you in and what feels most important to focus on. You’ll have time to ask questions about the process or the intake forms, which are completed online beforehand.
We’ll begin shaping a shared understanding of what you’re hoping for and how we might move toward that together.
To support consistency and trust, I ask new clients to begin with weekly sessions.
My practice is primarily virtual. I offer telehealth sessions for clients located in California and Florida through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.
For those in the San Francisco Bay Area, walk-and-talk sessions are available in California.
Individual sessions are 50 minutes and typically take place once per week. We can revisit pacing and frequency over time as needed.
I do not accept insurance directly and am considered an out-of-network provider.
If you plan to seek reimbursement, I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance company. Reimbursement depends on your specific out-of-network benefits.
Superbills include provider information, dates of service, fees, and required diagnostic codes. A diagnosis is required for insurance reimbursement and can be discussed during our work together.
If you’re unable to attend a session, please cancel at least 24 hours in advance.
Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed appointments, are charged the full fee. I understand that emergencies arise and aim to approach these situations with care and clarity.
For telehealth sessions, you must be physically located in a state where I am licensed at the time of our session (California or Florida).
If you attend a session while out of state, the session will need to end and will be charged as a late cancellation.
I work best with adults, teens, children, and families who are thoughtful, reflective, and open to exploring their inner experience.
Many of the people I support are high-achieving, caring, and used to holding a great deal internally. They’re often seeking depth, insight, and meaningful change—not just symptom relief.
Fit matters, and we can explore that together during a consultation.
It’s common to feel uncertain—especially if you’re used to managing things on your own or have had mixed experiences in the past.
You don’t need certainty to begin. The consultation is simply a space to ask questions and see how it feels to talk together.
