FAQS

Curious about therapy and want to learn more?
Here are my most commonly asked questions.

Starting
Therapy

A quick guide to what the first steps look like and what you can expect when beginning therapy.

FAQS

  • Within 48 hours, often sooner.

  • I work with high-functioning adults and creatives navigating anxiety, OCD, self-esteem, identity questions, and life transitions. I aim to empower you to move through change with clarity and purpose. I also support couples, families, and teens who are ready to grow stronger together through change.

  • The consultation is a brief call where we talk about what you’re looking for, I share how I work, and we decide together if it feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure to commit.

  • You can schedule a free consultation directly through my online booking system.

  • Our first session is focused on getting to know you - what brings you in, what you’ve been carrying, and what you would like to be different. You can share at your own pace, and we’ll start shaping a plan for our work together.

  • No. Many people come in knowing only that they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unlike themselves. Part of our work is figuring out together what you need and where to focus.

  • Most clients start with weekly 50-minute sessions. As things shift, we may decide together to meet less frequently. The overall length of therapy depends on your goals—some people prefer shorter-term work, others stay longer for deeper support.

Sessions, Fees
& Logistics

Clear information about scheduling, costs, and how sessions work so you know exactly what to expect.

FAQS

  • Both. I offer in-person therapy at my office in Eagle Rock, and virtual therapy for clients located in California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Florida.

    Eagle Rock Office:
    850 Colorado Blvd, Suite 102, Eagle Rock, CA 90041

  • My current fees are:

    • Individual therapy: $225 per 50-minute session

    • Couples therapy: $250 per 50-minute session

  • I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Superbills often reimburse 60-80% of fees. This model allows us to tailor treatment to your specific goals without insurance-mandated session limits or external restrictions.

    *Tip- Call the number on the back of your card and ask, "What is my out-of-network reimbursement rate for outpatient mental health (CPT code 90837)?" This simple call often reveals that therapy is much more affordable than clients realize.

  • I require 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a session.

    Late cancellations or missed appointments are subject to a $75 fee.

My Approach

A look at my therapeutic style and the types of clients I work best with.

FAQS

  • My style is warm, emotionally intelligent, and grounded. I’m compassionate and nonjudgmental, but I’m also honest and engaged. I won’t just listen - I’ll help you make connections and support you in creating real change.

  • I use a blend of CBT, ACT, ERP and relational/psychodynamic work, along with coaching-style strategies. That means we’ll look at your patterns, beliefs, and history—and also build practical tools to support you in daily life.

  • I work well with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety and stress, self-esteem and identity questions, relationship and communication issues, and the emotional load of parenting and life transitions. I also enjoy working with creatives and young professionals who feel like they’re holding a lot under the surface.

Privacy & Safety

lmportant details about confidentiality, communication, and what to do if you need immediate support.

FAQS

  • Yes. What you share in therapy is confidential, with a few legal exceptions related to safety (such as risk of harm to yourself or others, or situations involving abuse). We’ll review these limits in more detail during our first session.

  • I am not able to provide emergency or crisis services. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, please call 988, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. Once you are safe, we can talk about how therapy can support you moving forward.
