How do I get started?
Click the button above to schedule a free 10 -15 min video call. There is no obligation with this call. I do this first step to answer any questions you may have, and for us both to explore whether it feels like a good fit. If so, we’ll schedule a full first session.
What is the cost for therapy sessions?
Cost per 55-minute session is $210. This cost includes any additional preparation and documentation needed for your care.
Many of my clients are able to obtain reimbursement from “out of network” benefits through their insurance. That said, I am not in-network with any insurance providers at this time.
Some of my clients actually prefer to pay out of pocket for therapy. This keeps things incredibly simple and private. You also may be able to use HSA/FSA funds to pay for therapy.
I do have a limited number of spots for reduced-fee clients for those who cannot afford the fee. At this time those spots are full.
You are entitled to a good faith estimate of the cost of your therapy.
Can you help me understand my mental health insurance benefits?
Good news! We’ve partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.
Mentaya is perfect if you:
• Have out-of-network benefits
• Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance
• Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement
• Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!
Here’s how it works:
1. Sign up for Mentaya: https://mentaya.co/
2. Our practice will enter your sessions into the platform.
3. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up.
4. You get reimbursed by insurance!
Mentaya charges a fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required,
dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.
It’s risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.
What states do you serve?
Currently I am able to meet with clients (online) in California and Florida. I see clients in-person in San Diego, California.
Do you see clients in-person, or just online?
I offer in-person services in San Diego on Wednesdays and Fridays, and see clients online on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My office is centrally located in San Diego, in the University Heights neighborhood (near North Park, Hillcrest, Normal Heights, and Mission Valley).
How do online therapy sessions typically work?
You will need to have a device with a camera and microphone (smart phone, laptop, tablet, etc.), a reliable internet connection, and a safe, private space (cars are fine as long as you’re parked). Your privacy is important to me, so I ask that you do not attend our sessions in public spaces, or in areas at home where others can see or hear you. Sessions are conducted with video and audio. (Phone sessions may be appropriate if we discuss and agree ahead of time.)
You must always be physically in the state of California or Florida at the time of our session.
Do you see couples, families, or children for therapy?
I only work with individual adults (18+) at this time.
How often will we meet?
Usually I start with once per week sessions. Sometimes twice a week is best to really gain momentum. At minimum, we will start with biweekly (every other week) sessions. Monthly sessions are considered a maintenance frequency and are generally not appropriate until things have stabilized significantly.
