Yes, I offer online therapy to anyone residing in the State of California. Teletherapy is provided through doxy.me, a free, HIPAA-compliant video platform that does not require a software download. This is a convenient option if you are not able to make it to my office.

Yes, teletherapy is equally as effective as in-person therapy. Rapport is typically built just as quickly and effectively with video sessions and it may feel nearly the same as meeting in the office. In fact, many client's prefer video sessions due to the convenience and availability.

I do not bill insurance companies directly, but do act as an Out-of-Network (OON) provider for preferred provider organization (PPO) plans. Following your appointment and payment, you can download monthly “superbills” or receipts from the client portal to be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. Rates of reimbursement vary so it’s best to check directly with your insurance regarding coverage.

This answer is different for everyone and this decision is always one made in collaboration. Mostly commonly, therapy is scheduled weekly or every other week. Typically, it is helpful to start with at least two sessions 1-2 weeks apart and then assesses frequency.

At the start of therapy, we will discuss your goals for therapy. After these goals are met, we can explore if there are new goals you’d like to address. You may have a few things you would like to work on that might require short-term therapy (less than 20 sessions). Or you may decide that you’d like longer-term therapy. It is important that we work together to guide and define your experience.

Payment is due at the time of your session. Sessions are typically 50 or 90 minutes, depending on your needs and preferences. I accept cash, check or credit/debit, which will be charged via auto-pay arranged through a secure billing system. Rates for these sessions are available upon request.

If you are unable to make your scheduled session, please cancel or reschedule within 48 hours to avoid cancellation fees (rate of the session).
