INVESTMENT & FAQ

Therapy Is an Investment. Your Care Should Be Worth It.

I provide specialized, out-of-network therapy for adults and couples who are looking for thoughtful, individualized care—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Staying out-of-network allows me to make clinical decisions based on your goals and needs, rather than an insurance company's definition of what is medically necessary or how many sessions you should have.

Session Rates

Individual Therapy — $225 / 50 minutes
Couples & Relationship Therapy — $275 / 55 minutes

I maintain a limited number of sliding-scale spaces for community accessibility. Availability is limited.

Insurance & Out-of-Network Reimbursement

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly.

If you have a PPO plan with out-of-network mental health benefits, your insurance may reimburse a portion of your sessions. Reimbursement varies significantly by plan, so I recommend confirming your benefits before beginning therapy.

How it works:

  1. You pay for your session at the time of service.

  2. I provide a monthly superbill.

  3. You submit the superbill to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Before scheduling, call the number on your insurance card and ask:

“What are my out-of-network benefits for outpatient psychotherapy with CPT code 90834?”

For couples therapy, ask whether your plan provides reimbursement for the specific service being provided (usually CPT code 90847).

  • Working out-of-network offers you total privacy and clinical autonomy. Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis to prove "medical necessity" and can audit your session notes or dictate how many sessions you are "allowed" to have. In my practice, your records remain confidential, and we determine the pace of your healing together.

  • Yes. To seek reimbursement via a Superbill, insurance companies require a standard ICD-10 diagnosis code to prove "medical necessity." We will discuss this together so you are fully informed about what is being shared with your provider. The benefit of being out-of-network is that while they receive a diagnosis, they cannot audit our full session notes or dictate our treatment plan.

  • No. You shouldn’t have to pay for your therapist’s education. I specialize in working with the Global Majority (POC), LGBTQ+ folks, and the ENM/Poly community. Whether we are discussing the nuances of code-switching or navigating New Relationship Energy (NRE), I speak your language so we can get straight to the work.

  • Yes. Research shows that virtual EMDR is just as effective as in-person sessions. We use HIPAA-compliant, specialized software that provides bilateral stimulation directly through your browser. Many clients find they can go deeper into the work because they are in the safety and comfort of their own home.

  • Not at all. While EMDR is the gold standard for PTSD, it is also incredibly effective for the "Little t" traumas that build up over time—like microaggressions, childhood emotional neglect, or the persistent anxiety of living in a marginalized body. If you feel "stuck" in a physical or emotional reaction, EMDR can help.

  • Virtual couples therapy is highly effective because we are working within the actual environment where your relationship happens. We use the same Gottman Method assessments and interventions as we would in an office. I will guide you through "state of the union" meetings and conflict management exercises in real-time, helping you build a "Sound Relationship House" from your own couch.

  • Not at all, I’m Poly-Affirming. I don’t view non-monogamy as a problem to be solved or a symptom of attachment issues. As a Gottman-trained therapist, I apply the research-backed tools of communication and connection to your specific relationship structure. Whether you are navigating conflicts within a marriage or establishing new boundaries in an open dynamic, the goal is the same: building a relationship that feels secure and honest.

  • Yes! That is the beauty of a virtual practice. As long as you are physically located in California at the time of our session, we can work together. I provide specialized care to clients from San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and everywhere in between.
