My rate for individual therapy is $200. Family or dyadic sessions are $250. I offer some sliding scale spots in my practice based on need. We will discuss fees during our initial consultation.

I do not currently accept insurance, however if your health insurance carrier allows you to choose an out-of-network provider, I am able to provide you with a “superbill” with which you can request reimbursement.

Insurance companies restrict how we work in therapy by limiting the number of sessions we can have, covering some mental health diagnoses but not others, or changing the types of benefits they provide.

Therapists are at their best when they are free to do what actually works for their patients instead of what an insurance company thinks.

While I welcome any one to reach out in order to determine whether I might be a good fit, my practice is particularly suited for individuals looking for an LGBTQ+ knowledgeable and affirming therapist. While these identities may not always be what brings you into therapy, working with someone who can hold them as important lenses that deepen an understanding of the self and how one navigates the world can be an especially fulfilling experience.

I may also be a good fit if you view therapy as not just a way to address obvious, current problems but also as a way to deepen your knowledge of yourself and seek greater fulfillment in life through unearthing unconscious material and being in intimate and intentional relationship with one another.

My practice is currently a hybrid. I offer in-person sessions at my office in Berkeley, CA once a week. I also offer services via telehealth to anyone residing in the state of CA. In addition, some clients choose a mix of in-person and virtual. Both formats can be conducive to effective therapy. Location arrangements will be discussed during the intake process.

I typically work with people on at least a weekly basis. Some people prefer to come in more than once a week. When appointments happen less than once a week, therapy is not as effective because I don’t get to hear from you frequently enough to be able to truly help you. Instead, we are often playing catch up. You may end up spending much of the session updating rather than getting into the emotional material that you are coming to therapy to address.

Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how long therapy will take. I provide long term therapy without an expiration date. Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them and the length of time therapy can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on many factors such as your comfort level, attachment style, commitment to therapy, honesty with yourself and with me, unpredictable life events and changes, and the factors that are driving you to seek therapy in the first place.
