Frequently Asked Questions
CAN I SEE YOU IF I DON’T LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO?
Yes! You can be located anywhere in California for us to work together
We will meet via a secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy platform.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ONLINE THERAPY?
Flexibility in scheduling
No commuting required (this can be much easier on teens who are juggling school/homework, sports, extracurriculars, friends, and therapy)
Confidential and secure therapeutic sessions from the comfort of your own space
HOW OFTEN DO I MEET WITH YOU?
Sessions are 50 minutes in length and I ask that we meet weekly when we start.
If I am working with your child, I do ask that parents/guardians join part of the initial session in order to ensure everyone is on the same page about treatment. I will work collaboratively with you (and your child, if applicable) to identify the most ideal frequency for ongoing sessions in order to meet desired outcomes and goals.
It is important to me that parents are involved in treatment, though that process is individualized for each client. I can support parents through coaching in one-on-one sessions as well as phone calls, and may request that parents join for a family therapy session from time to time as needed.
WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?
$205 for a 50-minute individual therapy session
$235 for a 50-minute couple/family therapy session
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
I do not currently accept insurance.
I can provide you with a receipt to submit to your insurance if you have an out of network or PPO plan.
I accept cash, check, and credit cards.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
I have a 24 hour cancellation policy that I ask clients to honor. I will charge my full fee for missed sessions, but I will also do my best to be flexible in rescheduling for a different day that week if applicable.
Many therapists have strict policies around limiting the number of cancellations to 2-3 per year, but I find that setting stringent rules can make clients feel somewhat hostage to their own therapy. I want you to want to come to our sessions. If the therapy is working, you will prioritize it.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Please reach out to me to schedule a 20 minute phone consultation session. We can explore if working together would be a good fit for you and/or your child.
