Question 1

What are your fees?

Accepted Answer

My fee is $300 for a 50-minute individual session.

Question 2

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

I do not accept insurance directly. I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Depending on your health plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement, often as a percentage of the fee. I encourage you to contact your insurance company directly to learn more about your specific benefits.

Question 3

How long are sessions?

Accepted Answer

Most sessions are 50 minutes. At times, longer sessions may be helpful, especially for EMDR or deeper somatic work that benefits from more space and time. Extended sessions can also be useful during particularly difficult periods when you may want additional support. If this feels like it could be helpful, we can discuss what length of session best supports your needs.

Question 4

How often will we meet?

Accepted Answer

I  meet with clients weekly. Consistency helps build momentum, creates a strong foundation for the work, and allows you to stay connected with the therapeutic process.

Question 5

Do you offer in-person sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer both virtual and in-person sessions. Virtual therapy is available throughout California. In-person sessions are held in a welcoming office on Motor Avenue in West Los Angeles, between Venice and Palms Boulevards, close to the 10 and 405 Freeways for easy access.

Question 6

What is therapy like with you?

Accepted Answer

Therapy with me is active and collaborative. I will listen closely, ask questions, offer reflections, and help you notice patterns that may be difficult to see from the inside. We may slow things down, pay attention to what is happening in the present moment, or explore how past experiences continue to shape the way you relate to yourself and others.

Question 7

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

The first step is to reach out and schedule a free 15 minute consultation call. This gives us a chance to talk about what you are looking for and to see if working together feels like the right fit. If it does, we will schedule your first weekly session and begin the process.

Question 8

Do you work with couples, children, or teens?

Accepted Answer

My practice is dedicated to individual adults, ages 18 and older. This is the work I feel most called to and where my experience is focused. If you are seeking therapy for children, teens, or couples, I would be glad to share referrals to colleagues I trust who specialize in those areas.

(And often, the children and teenagers you once were find their way into the room, and they are welcome too.)

Question 9

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

I ask for at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. Without that notice, the full session fee is charged. I understand that unexpected emergencies happen, and if something comes up, we can talk about it.

Question 10

Is therapy confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. What you share in therapy is kept private. The only exceptions are rare situations where I am legally required to break confidentiality to keep you or someone else safe. If this ever became necessary, I would be open and transparent with you.

Question 11

What if I am in crisis?

Accepted Answer

I am not able to provide emergency or crisis services. If you are in immediate danger, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. You deserve immediate support in moments of crisis, and help is available. You can call or text 988 at any time to connect with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available 24 hours a day.
