I am able to provide therapy services to anyone residing or located in California. I primarily offer sessions via Zoom, but there are a few options for in-persons sessions. More information is below:

The initial Clinical Intake Session and all regular 45-minute psychotherapy sessions are always held online via Zoom.

If you are engaging in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) sessions or Therapy Intensives (i.e. extended sessions), you have the option to do those 2.5 hour (or longer) sessions in-person in Oakland, CA, or online via Zoom. We will discuss which option will fit best for your situation. Please note that online therapy isn’t always suitable for everyone. We will discuss whether virtual appointments are appropriate for your situation during our consultation call.

For Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) sessions, I offer those online via Zoom but there may be an option to do those in-person for an additional fee. ART sessions can also be integrated into therapy intensive packages, so please inquire and we can customize your treatment plan based on your needs.

For virtual appointments, you will need a private, quiet place to take your sessions from and a strong phone or internet connection. I will also need to know your location at the time of the session in case of emergencies.

Sliding Scale

I do reserve some of my psychotherapy spots for sliding scale for those with limited finances, with priority going to those with marginalized identities. Please inquire about current sliding scale availability if this is something you’re needing.

Payment Options

I currently only accept out-of-pocket / private pay. I am not on any insurance panels but I can provide superbill receipts for your *sessions for potential out-of-network insurance reimbursement. Please inquire with your insurance carrier prior to beginning therapy about reimbursement rates for individual therapy under your insurance plan.

*KAP sessions are not currently reimbursable by insurance, but preparation and integration psychotherapy sessions may be depending on your insurance provider.

*For extended Therapy Intensives, only the first hour of therapy may be eligible for reimbursement.

Your first appointment will be a clinical intake session. This session will be the more focused assessment session, and will be for us to get to know each other a little better. I ensure we have space for you to ask me any questions about me, my practice, or anything related to therapy that you maybe weren’t able to ask during our consultation call. It’s also a time for me to hear more about your story, what brings you to therapy, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. I strive to create a container of consent so you always feel like you’re consenting to sharing information about you. It can take time to feel comfortable with a new therapist, and we will go at your pace to help you feel safe.

Notice on Good Faith Estimates for Self-Pay Clients

Background:

The "No Surprises Act" entitles you to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" when establishing care and at any time during your treatment when your cost/fee for services is adjusted. At the time of this notice, this only applies to clients who are self-pay, pay out-of-pocket, and who do not intend to submit an insurance claim for reimbursement.

Psychotherapy Disclaimer:

Regarding the nature of receiving psychotherapy services, it may not be possible to predict the exact number of sessions or length of treatment, as this may vary or change based on your treatment goals and progress. If/when the frequency of treatment, length of treatment, or fees for treatment change, an updated Good Faith Estimate will be provided.

Notice on Your Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate:

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

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate and the bill.
