Who do you work with?

I work with adults and adolescents in individual therapy, couples therapy, and dyadic family therapy.

I am blessed to manage a practice that supports a significant breadth of diversity. As a queer, femme, Third Culture Adult, clients who work well with me frequently identify as outside of the norm/majority, grew up moving around a lot, have a complex intersectionality, or are questioning layers of their identity and experience.

What are your rates?

Individual therapy (50 minutes) $225

Couples therapy & Dyadic family therapy (50 minutes) $300

Couples therapy & Dyadic family therapy (75 minutes) $375

Do you take insurance? Why not?

No; I do not work directly with insurance companies and am considered an out-of-network (OON) provider.

However, I can offer you a super bill, which many PPO plans accept from OON providers such as myself.

The super bill is an itemized receipt that will help to facilitate the process of direct reimbursement from your insurance company, to cover some of the costs of out-of-pocket therapy expenses. You will need to reach out to your insurance company directly to find out 1) if they accept super bills, 2) what your deductible is before they start reimbursing you, and 3) what steps you need to take to submit your super bill and receive reimbursement directly from your insurance.

If you qualify, I recommend looking into CoveredCalifornia for credits that can help one afford monthly premiums for insurance.

How do you model accessibility without taking insurance?

I strongly feel that insurance companies could be doing better by all of us. As a private practice psychotherapist, I choose what systems to be a part of and which ones to avoid.

Due to my own lived experience growing up poor and working class, designing a business that models accessibility is important to me. I offer a limited sliding scale to those who otherwise would not be able to afford therapy with me.

Please reach out to me if you are interested in working together, but cannot afford my full fee, and I can let you know if I have room available in my practice. It is imperative that you are honest with me about what you can afford, so as to not take up a space in my practice that could otherwise go to someone who cannot afford my services.

Do you have a waiting list?

No; I do not have the bandwidth to manage a wait list for my practice. If you reach out to me and my practice is full, please keep me in mind for the future and reach out at a later date.

I am also happy to assist you with finding an adequate referral, if my practice is full at the time you reach out to me.

Do you work in person or over telehealth?

Both! I work full-time (Monday-Friday) out of my office in Kentfield, Marin County, San Francisco Bay Area in California.

I use a HIPAA-compliant service called Doxy for my telehealth sessions, and I have been working online as an integral part of my training since 2020 when Covid caused everyone to shelter-in-place. At the same time, I genuinely love working in person and feel there is a lot more aliveness and energy in the room when we are all meeting in 3D.

As part of my in-person work I also uphold strong policies around sickness and Covid, and ask that if you are exhibiting any cold or flu-like symptoms, to please opt for a telehealth session or cancel/reschedule with me. I frequently support individuals with autoimmune complications and it is important that my space is accessible to everyone.
