FAQs
Who are your typical clients?
1
All are welcome, including adults, older children, teens, college students and adults. Clients often come from the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout California. Many of my clients come to me for help with chronic pain, OCD, generalized anxiety, or health anxiety.
How do I get started?
2
Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or send an email—I’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss what you are looking for and to make sure that I am a good fit for your preferences and goals.
Fees and Insurance
3
My service fees are comparable to those of other SF Bay Area providers with equivalent specialization and experience. I work with other insurance panels as an out of network provider, and will provide you a monthly statement with the necessary information to seek reimbursement from your insurance company. Many private plans do provide significant out-of-network benefits, which may reimburse you 50-100% of the cost of therapy.

How long does therapy take?
4
What is your cancellation policy?
The length depends on what brings you to therapy. Early on, we will work together to clearly identify your main concerns and goals. This will allow us to get a sense of how long treatment may take. I provide both short and long-term therapy depending on the need and preference.
I have a 48 hour cancellation policy to avoid a charge. Whenever possible, I will try to find another time within the same week to reschedule the appointment.
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, to give you a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
