Each session is 50 minutes and the fee is $150. Payment is due at the time of the appointment.

I am considered an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. However, if your plan includes out-of-network benefits, I can provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

Yes! If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, you're welcome to use them. I’ll provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Please note that payment is due in full at the time of each session.

Using your out-of-network benefits is often a simple process. Most insurance companies allow you to upload your monthly superbill through their online portal (you’ll receive this superbill from me at the beginning of each month). Once submitted, they typically send a reimbursement check directly to you.

It’s a good idea to call the Member Services number on the back of your insurance card to confirm the details of your coverage. Here are some helpful questions to ask:

• Do I have out-of-network coverage for outpatient mental health services, including telehealth?

• What is my out-of-network deductible?

• How much of my deductible have I already met this year?

• Is a referral required from an in-network provider to see an out-of-network therapist?

• What percentage of the session fee is reimbursed for outpatient psychotherapy?

• How much will I be reimbursed for a 45-minute session (CPT code 90834)?

• What is the process for submitting claims?

• How long does it typically take to receive reimbursement?

Getting clear answers to these questions can help you make the most of your benefits and avoid any surprises.

If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse you for 60–80% of the session cost. Reimbursement rates vary, so it’s important to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm the details of your specific plan.

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients who may not be able to pay my full fee. If cost is a concern, please feel free to reach out—I'm happy to discuss options with you.

If I don’t have any sliding scale openings available, I can provide referrals to other trusted therapists in the area. If you're specifically looking for an in-network provider, www.psychologytoday.com is a helpful place to start your search.

As a registered associate marriage and family therapist in California, I’m only authorized to provide therapy to clients who are physically located in California at the time of each session. State regulations require therapists to be registered or licensed in the state where the client is during the session, even for virtual appointments. This helps ensure that care is provided within the legal and ethical standards of the state.

Yes! I offer a free 15-minute consultation call to all potential new clients before scheduling a full session. It’s a chance for us to connect and see if working together feels like a good match. During the call, you can expect:

• A brief conversation about what’s bringing you to therapy

• An overview of my approach and how I work with clients

• Time for you to ask any questions you may have

• A discussion about rates, availability, and insurance options

This call is a no-pressure way to explore whether I’m the right therapist for you.

Sessions are typically held once a week. For new clients, I recommend committing to weekly sessions for at least the first six weeks to help establish a strong foundation and begin making progress. As we move forward, we can reassess and adjust the frequency based on your individual needs and goals.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people come to therapy with a specific goal and feel ready to wrap up after a few months, while others prefer ongoing sessions for continued support and self-reflection. My role is to support you in reaching your goals at a pace that feels right for you. We’ll regularly check in to make sure therapy continues to align with your needs.
