Frequently Asked Questions

Both. In office sessions and Walk and Talk/Nature Therapy sessions are held in Fair Oaks, CA. Virtual sessions are available to any CA resident (you must be in state during your session).

My session fee is $165 per 50 minute session.

I offer longer sessions at an additional fee, upon request and depending on availability.

I accept Aetna plans through Alma.

For any other plans I am considered an Out-Of-Network provider and am able provide a SuperBill, which you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. 

*I encourage you to contact your insurance to verify your Out-of-Network coverage prior to our first session as not all plans include this benefit.

Fill out the consult form here. This will give me some insight about you and then I will reach out to schedule a free consultation call.

Consult calls help us determine if we will be a good fit. Studies have shown that being a good fit lead to better outcomes in therapy (even more than what the therapist is trained in). On this call I like to see how comfortable we are having a conversation, which might offer insight to if you feel safe opening up in therapy with me.

If by the end of the call one or both of us do not feel like we have fully clicked or I am not qualified to treat what you are looking for I would be happy to offer referrals to someone who might be a better fit.

I require 48  hour notice for all cancellations. Failure to cancel within that time frame results in a charge of your full session fee.

I am available for in-person and virtual sessions Monday - Thursday from 9:30-5pm.

Appointments are required. Walk-in and crisis services are not available.

I am not available after hours. If you are having a counseling emergency:

• Call 911,

• Call/Text the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988,

• Or go to the nearest emergency room.

Sessions are scheduled weekly or bi-weekly until you reach your initial therapy goals.

Once you decide you are ready to reduce the frequency of sessions (to every three weeks or monthly), sessions will move to an "as-needed" basis. You can reach out via email, text, or book a session through my online calendar when you want a check-in session.

Research consistently demonstrates that therapy yields the most significant benefits when integrated into a client's routine on either a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
