Can you work with clients anywhere in the country?

No, therapists can provide therapy in the states that they are licensed. I am licensed to work with clients in California. You must live in California in order for us to work together.

What can I expect in my first therapy session with you?

I have a collaborative and supportive approach that helps to create a safe space which makes getting started together simple and easy. During the first session, I will ask you questions in order to get a better picture of your own personal life experience. I will listen to you without judgment and discuss why you are seeking therapy at this time. We will come up with goals together and establish what you hope to get out of participating in therapy. I am here to support you in achieving the change that you are looking for in life.

How often will we meet?

I meet with most of my clients on a weekly basis in order to provide a supportive place to process feelings and thoughts each week. I ask that all new clients commit to meeting weekly for at least the first four weeks in order for us to start on a solid path together so that you will begin to see progress right away. I may then recommend that we decrease or increase the frequency of sessions in order to best meet your goals and your needs.

How much does therapy cost?

I bill $180 for a 50-minute individual therapy session and I accept cash, checks and all major credit cards. Similar to other clinicians that specialize, I do not accept insurance. Paying for therapy out of pocket can provide increased flexibility and confidentiality.
