Therapy for Individuals and Couples in California

Yes, all virtual sessions are offered on a secure video platform. My clients enjoy the accessibility, convenience, and comfort of on-line sessions. Not having to travel long distances or find parking, combined with the comfort of the client’s preferred private location are a few of the benefits. That said, virtual therapy is not for everyone and we can assess if this is appropriate for you during a complimentary 15 minute consultation. In-person sessions are not provided at this time.

I typically meet with my clients weekly or every other week based on what is clinically appropriate. After meeting their goals, some clients continue with monthly maintenance sessions while others conclude their treatment. According to the American Psychological Association, the length of treatment varies according to the severity and nature of the symptoms a person is experiencing. Some may participate in no more than 16 sessions while others may require more sessions. You and I will collaborate as we regularly discuss your progress to assess what is appropriate for you.

Payment by cash, check, or credit card is due in full, prior to the session commencing, on the day of the appointment. I also accept Aetna, Optum (United Healthcare), Aetna EAP and Optum EAP Insurance. Flexible Spending Accounts are accepted as well.

I can also provide you with a detailed invoice for you to receive an insurance reimbursement for "Out of Network Benefit". Please consult with your insurance company to determine what is covered.

I hold open a limited number of sliding scale slots that are determined by the individualized needs of the client. These slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Limited slots are also reserved for college student discounts with a valid school identification card.
