In addition to providing therapy for common concerns such as anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict, I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with alcohol and other substances use, as well as problematic behaviors such as compulsive gambling, gaming, and internet porn use.

Please note: I’m currently providing teletherapy (therapy via video or phone) throughout California at this time.

Rates & Insurance

Individual therapy (50 minutes): $150

Couples therapy (75 minutes): $225

Longer sessions are available by request and are prorated. The fee is payable at each session unless other arrangements are made.  I accept cash, checks, PayPal, and all major credit cards. I am also a contracted provider for Lyra Health (EAP).

Insurance:

I place a high value on confidentiality and therefore am not a contracted provider for any insurance companies. Many insurance companies require a ‘qualifying diagnosis’ and some clients prefer to get counseling by private pay to maintain confidentiality and avoid diagnostic labels.  If you have out-of-network coverage you can generally expect some reimbursement.  If this is important to you, please check with your insurance company.  The amount of reimbursement and the amount of any co-payments or deductible depends on the requirements of your specific insurance plan.  If you choose to seek reimbursement, I will provide a statement (superbill) that can be used to request reimbursement from your insurance company.

Good Faith Estimate Notice to clients and prospective clients:

Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. 

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.  

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.  

 For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
