Frequently asked questions

Can we still meet if I am not located in California?

My licensure is specific to California, so you must be physically located in California during our teletherapy sessions in order to seek ongoing treatment with me.

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance, however, if your provider offers reimbursement for out-of-network services, I can provide you with a superbill. To check if you have out-of-network mental health benefits, I recommend calling your insurance provider and asking:

• Do I have out of network mental health benefits? If so, what percentage of each session is reimbursed?

• Are telehealth sessions eligible for reimbursement?

• What is my deductible for out of network coverage and has it been met?

• How do I submit claims for reimbursement?

What is your fee?

My fee is $175 per session, pro-rated for extended sessions (75-min), typically for couples therapy. Extended and twice weekly sessions are available upon request. You may also use HSA/FSA debit cards to pay for therapy sessions.

I reserve a handful of sliding scale spots, set based on financial circumstances, which can be discussed in the initial consultation.

How frequently would we meet?

I meet clients on a weekly basis for the work to be meaningful and impactful. I typically recommend beginning therapy with weekly sessions to build a strong foundation, with an initial commitment of 3-4 months being most beneficial.

What is your cancelation policy?

You may cancel appointments in advance, without charge, up to 24 hours before your appointment by notifying me via text or email before the time of your scheduled appointment.

Any appointments cancelled within 24 hours of your appointment time will result in being charged the full fee.

Do you offer in-person therapy?

I provide in-person and virtual therapy for California residents through the Marina Counseling Center, located at 1781 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123
