F.A.Q.

You can request a brief, complimentary phone consultation. If we both feel it's a good fit, we'll schedule an intake appointment. I'll send you intake paperwork to complete prior to the appointment. We'll review the completed intake paperwork together during the first appointment, and then meet for ongoing therapy. Sessions are typically around 50 minutes, and I meet with people on a weekly and biweekly basis, as needed. 

My standard session rate is $185 per 50min session. A limited number of sliding scale slots may be available for those with financial need. 

I'm out-of-network with all insurance companies. If you have out-of-network benefits I can provide you with monthly superbills to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Please contact your insurance provider to ask about your out-of-network benefits, and keep in mind that a mental health diagnosis is required for insurance claims.

I'm physically based in San Francisco, but I only provide virtual therapy at this time. I provide therapy to people living anywhere in California.

The "Good Faith Estimate" is part of the federal No Surprises Act (Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act),  and it requires healthcare providers provide self-pay clients with an estimated cost of services. 

If we end up working together, you'll receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health care will cost prior to receiving care. You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
