Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, my practice is self pay. You may request a superior to give to your insurance to request and potentially obtain reimbursement.

  • All sessions are virtual in California. Clients must reside in CA and must physically be located in CA at time of session.

  • I ask for a 24 hour notice of cancelations. The full session fee will be charged if you cancel less than 24 hours and/or if you do not show up for your scheduled session.

  • My availability is flexible M-F. I do not see clients on teh weekends and I do not offer crisis or emergency services. If you are in a crisis and/or emergency please call 911 or go to your nearest ER.

  • Therapy is not a one size fits all as each client has specific goals and needs to address. Therapy services could be weeks, months, or years. There is no set timeframe on healing and therapy. I also cannot guarantee ‘fixing’ or ‘healing’ for you. Therapy takes time, dedication, and work; and you may feel worse before you feel better. During our initial consultation we will discuss therapeutic timeframes.

  • Sessions are typically 1x/week and either 50 or 90 minutes. This wil lbe discussed during a preliminary consultation call.

  • I like to show up as a human first. I want you to feel comfortable and safe. My approach is warm, inviting, goofy, compassionate, and understanding. I pull from several psychological approaches (CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Family Systems, Humanistic) and also allow for general processing talk therapy. I also like to incorporate holistic resources such as looking at nutrition, sleep, movement, and spirituality.

  • I see individuals who are in young - mid adulthood, 20’s-40’s. My clients often struggle with the following: anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, substance use and abuse, boundaries, self esteem, self love, & self care. Clients must live in California as this is where I hold my license.

  • To put it brief - you talk and I listen. I am here to help guide, assess, validate, construct, praise, question, and process with you. I help you facilitate the change you desire. I am not here to fix you, solve your problems, or tell you what to do. This is 100% about you and what you want. You don’t ever have to talk about things you don’t want to, complete homework you don’t have time for, or try to appease me. Therapy works by the amount of time and effort you put into sessions. It can be quite hard, and also very rewarding.
