How it Works
I’m here to help you simplify the process of getting started with a new therapist.

Step One
Send me a message letting me know you’re interested in getting started! From there we’ll schedule a 20-minute call to answer all of your questions and make sure we’re a good fit. You can reach out to me here.

Rates
Therapy is an investment in your current and future self.
I want to help you make the process of working with a new therapist as easy as possible! Of course, you need to make sure you are working with the right person. Let’s set up a phone call to see if my style is what you’re looking for. Don’t worry, if you feel this isn’t the right fit I’ll make sure to refer you to another trusted therapist who I believe will be a great fit for you.
By starting therapy now, you're not just addressing immediate concerns, but also setting yourself up for a future where you have the tools to handle whatever comes your way. You're giving yourself the gift of personal growth, and that kind of investment always pays off.
Because therapy is an investment, I do my best to ensure that you leave every session with valuable insights, tools, and reflections.

Insurance
Please note that I am an out-of-network provider. However, I utilize a service called Mentaya which can automatically file out-of-network claims for you and help you receive reimbursement for my services depending on your specific coverage.
If you prefer not to use this service I am happy to provide you with a superbill (out-of-network claim) at the end of each month that you can submit to insurance yourself for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement is determined by your specific insurance plan, so be sure to contact your insurance provider and confirm your specific plan’s out-of-network mental health benefits.
Please note that issuing a superbill requires me to provide you with a mental health diagnosis that will be added to your medical record. For the purpose of confidentiality I will not communicate with your insurance provider directly.
Insurance does not cover the cost of missed sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Both! I provide online therapy to residents across California as well as in-person in my Hermosa Beach office.
-
In our first appointment we’ll go over practice policies and confidentiality agreements, than answer any questions you have about the therapy process. From there we might start with the issue that is most pressing to you that day or I will get background information about your life beyond the information you provided in your intake forms. Whether we start with the issue of the day, or go back into childhood experiences, over the course of therapy we will build a full understanding of the root causes of your challenges and the reasons these patterns continue to impact you.
-
Everyone’s goals in therapy are different, so the length of time they are in therapy also differs. I practice depth work and my clients tend to be individuals who are seeking a long term relationship with their therapist so that they have a consistent space to process their emotions on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. The work I do is meant to be ongoing as needed, supportive, and exploratory, not a quick fix.
