Getting Started

I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation as a way for us to connect. You will have the opportunity to learn more about me and my approach, and I’ll begin to understand what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it. If the fit is right, we can schedule your first full session. That initial session will focus on getting to know you more deeply and starting to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Insurance

Currently I do not accept insurance. However, many health insurance plans offer partial or full reimbursement for therapy with out-of-network providers. I’m happy to provide you with the necessary documentation to submit for reimbursement. I highly recommend checking with your insurance provider to learn more about your out-of-network benefits, including the number of sessions covered and the reimbursement rate for marriage & family therapy.

Rates

55-minute individual therapy session: $215

55-minute couples therapy session: $215

All major credit cards are accepted as forms of payment.

*I offer a limited number of sliding-scale / lower-fee sessions based on need, please reach out if you are interested to learn more.

Location

I have availability for in person sessions on Tuesdays at 1833 Fillmore Street, Suite 102, San Francisco, CA. I am open for virtual therapy Mondays-Thursdays for clients throughout California.

Additional FAQs

  • To be respectful of my time and my other clients, I keep 24-hour cancellation policy. That means that if you call or email to cancel with at least 24 hours of notice, you will not be charged for the original session time. If you miss the appointment or need to cancel within 24 hours, you will be charged the full session fee for the missed time slot.

  • Getting started sessions will be weekly. As we make progress frequency becomes flexible and can be more or less frequent depending on your needs.

  • Under the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers are required to provide clients who are uninsured or not using insurance with a Good Faith Estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

    You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of your care.

    I will provide you with a Good Faith Estimate in writing before your scheduled service or at your request.

    If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
