Frequently Asked Questions

  • During the first few sessions we will talk about the struggles that bring you to therapy, your history, and define your goals. As a therapist, I have a real-life, practical, and straightforward approach to helping you to achieve your goals

  • Therapy provides many benefits, including greater self-awareness, stronger coping skills, and deeper insights into relationships. I’ll be here to support you every step of the way.

  • This work is for people who are ready to go beneath the surface — not just manage symptoms, but understand and heal what's driving them. It's deep, meaningful work, and it unfolds at the pace your system needs, which means it isn't a quick fix.

    If you're looking for someone to tell you what to do or hand you a set of coping tools, this may not be the right fit. My role isn't to have the answers — it's to help you access the wisdom and clarity that already lives inside you. Clients who thrive in this work are curious, willing to turn inward, and ready to be gently challenged.

    If that resonates, I'd love to connect.

  • This is completely dependent on the individual and situation.  I have had some clients complete their therapeutic goals very quickly (over the course of a few months) and others that choose to continue sessions for years.  

  • I currently provide video conferencing sessions only..

    My Marriage and Family Therapist license is limited to the state of California.  If you live somewhere in California we are able to meet with telehealth. 

  •  Typically, I see clients virtually Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

  • No. I provide online therapy throughout California and work with clients in Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, the Bay Area, Sacramento, and other communities statewide.

  • I am not on any health insurance panels at this time, so I cannot bill the insurance company directly, However, I can provide you with a receipt that you can submit to your PPO or POS insurance plan for reimbursement. You would pay me at the time of service.

    it is up to you to verify what your PPO or employee benefit program will reimburse to you for a session(s) with me. The following are some suggested questions to ask your health insurance company / employee benefit program:

    • Do I have mental health insurance benefits?

    • What is my insurance deductible and has it been met?

    • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

    • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

    • Is approval required from my primary care physician?


  • I currently accept cash and IvyPay credit card payments.   No worries if you have never heard of this app before, it is extremely user friendly and I can show you how to set it up.

  • Sessions are $200.00 for 50 minutes for individual sessions, $250.00 for 50 minutes for couples therapy, and $400.00 for 90 minute intensives.  I occasionally have a sliding scale available for qualifying clients. 

  • If you are experiencing an emergency or require immediate assistance, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

    If you are not experiencing an emergency and you would like someone to talk to as soon as possible, please consider these resources:

  • What you say in therapy is confidential with limited exceptions:
