Reach out to schedule a free initial consultation where we’ll discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit. During this call, you can ask any questions, and we’ll outline what to expect from our work together.
In our first session, we’ll explore your history, symptoms, and current coping strategies. We’ll also discuss your goals and expectations for therapy, setting the groundwork for a collaborative approach tailored to you.
Therapy can be incredibly beneficial if you’re looking to understand yourself more deeply and make meaningful life changes. Therapy isn’t a quick fix—it’s about learning ways to change ourselves, even when others or circumstances remain the same. It requires courage, vulnerability, and introspection. Feel free to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your goals and determine if we’re a good fit.
My approach is individualized and draws on various therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), somatic therapy, and parts work. I blend these techniques based on your unique needs and preferences.
Yes, I provide telehealth sessions for anyone residing in California and in-person sessions at my office in Calabasas. Additionally, I offer in-person ecotherapy sessions at select local parks or trails.
The length of therapy depends on your personal goals and progress. There’s no set timeline; we’ll periodically review your progress and make adjustments as needed.
Sessions last 50 minutes, ending 10 minutes before the hour. For new clients, I recommend weekly sessions to build a strong therapeutic foundation. Over time, we can discuss adjusting session frequency based on your progress and needs.
I charge $200 for a 50-minute individual therapy session.
I currently accept these insurances: Aetna, Optum (United & Oxford), Carelon, Cigna, and Anthem Blue Cross of CA. For all other insurances, you may have out-of-network benefits, which means that insurance will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our consult call, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be.
Note: Thrizer’s goal is to save you time and money. It’s completely optional, and as your therapist I do not benefit in any way from your participation.
Should you decide to submit on your own, most insurance companies have you upload your monthly superbill online (it’ll be sent to you on the 1st of each month) and then they will mail you a check with your reimbursement.
Making therapy accessible is important to me. I have a limited number of reduced fee spots available if you cannot afford my full rate. During your free consultation, we can discuss your needs around the fee.
If I cannot offer you a sliding scale spot, I can provide you with referrals for lower fee counseling.
If you are looking for an in-network provider, I recommend calling your insurance provider or searching on Psychology Today.
Life happens, and I understand. Please provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations within 24 hours or missed appointments will be charged the full session fee.
You deserve a therapist who is the right fit. If your needs fall outside my specialties, I’m happy to refer you to other qualified professionals who may be a better match.
