Therapy can benefit you in a variety of ways, from learning to pause to connect to your body and identify feelings, to deepening your understanding of your thoughts, patterns, and behaviors. Therapy is a place where we can be curious together, identify areas you’d like to explore and gain insight on, and learn how to integrate self-care, self-compassion, and positive coping strategies to manage the day to day stressors and triggers.

That’s ok! Together we work to go at your pace. The intensity and depth of therapy matches what you’re ready to explore. With a more relational approach, throughout our time together we can talk about what feels right and can make adjustments as we go.

Yes! I offer both. I have limited in-person appointments available in my office in downtown Oakland as well as online appointments for clients who prefer doing sessions online. 

My license to practice therapy is for those seeking appointments in the state of California.

50 min. Individual sessions for teens or adults: $200 

50 min. For Family or Couples Therapy: $250 

75 min. Sessions available by request.

Credit/Debit cards, Zelle, Venmo, Check, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted forms of payment and due at the time of service. An invoice is provided upon payment and are available on the therapy platform.

I am not paneled with any insurance companies at this time. Per your request, I can provide a monthly summary of payments called a “super-bill” that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. 

Many insurance providers offer out-of-network benefits, which means you can see private practice therapists outside of the network of therapist connected to your insurance. You pay the therapist directly, and they can provide the necessary paperwork for you to submit to insurance.

I believe therapy should be accessible to everyone and am committed to always having sliding scale/reduced rate slots for those that need it. Please feel free to consult with me as openings for reduced fee therapy are limited. I am also committed to supporting clients in accessing therapy and will support you in finding alternative options if I am not a good match, or my caseload is full.

Please provide at least 24 hours notice of cancellation or rescheduling. A late cancellation will be charged if session is canceled under this time or if session is missed.

This can vary case by case but in general, if you have recently been discharged from inpatient care due to a crisis and are needing more intensive 24/7 support; I am unable to provide this level of care. I am also not a good fit if you are seeking substance use treatment as your primary goal or require therapy for legal obligations. I do not provide expert testimony for legal purposes.

No Surprises Act  (NSA) Notice

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item.

You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
