Yes. I am accepting new clients as of September 2024.

I see clients in person on Wednesdays at my office in Walnut Creek, CA. I also serve clients throughout California via telehealth.

I accept Contra Costa County MediCal and Aetna.

If you have an insurance plan with out-of-network benefits, I can give you a receipt, known as a superbill, for sessions that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement, which might offset your investment in therapy. This does not guarantee reimbursement, and you are still responsible for the full session fee at the time of service.

I do not submit superbills for clients. If you need support in obtaining reimbursement, I partner with Mentaya, which can support you in obtaining reimbursement for out-of-network benefits for a fee.

Appointments must be cancelled at least 48 hours in advance, otherwise the full session fee will be charged. Depending on my availability, appointments may be rescheduled within the same week at no additional charge.

I have a limited number of sliding scale slots. Please inquire if you are interested.

We will spend our first session getting to know one another, building the foundation of our therapeutic relationship and collaboratively setting goals. We'll talk about what is bringing you to treatment and what you hope to work on or change with the support of therapy.

The length of therapy depends on each individual and their specific needs, as well as the goals we create for treatment. Usually, clients will meet with me 8-10 times, then gradually reduce the frequency of sessions as they start to feel better. That might be going from weekly, to biweekly, to monthly, to occasional check ins throughout the year.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for 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. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
