My rate for individual therapy is $225 for a 50 minute session. Family, couples, or dyadic sessions are $260 for 50 minutes. I offer some sliding scale spots in my practice based on need. We will discuss fees during our initial consultation.

I do not currently accept insurance, however if your health insurance carrier allows you to choose an out-of-network (OON) provider, I am able to provide you with a “superbill” with which you can request reimbursement.

I've also partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits. Mentaya submits all your claims and handles any insurance follow-up. You can learn more here.

Cover My Mental Health is an excellent self-advocacy resource for navigating the complexities of insurance coverage for therapy. They provide free guides, letter templates, and more for common insurance obstacles.

While I welcome any one to reach out in order to determine whether I might be a good fit, my practice is particularly suited for individuals looking for an LGBTQ+ knowledgeable and affirming therapist. While these identities may not always be what brings you into therapy, working with someone who can hold them as important lenses that deepen an understanding of the self and how one navigates the world can be an especially fulfilling experience.

Additionally, I have a special interest in working with folks around all stages of queer family building, from pre-conception to postpartum and beyond.

I may also be a good fit if you view therapy as not just a way to address more obvious, current problems but also as a way to deepen your knowledge of yourself and seek greater fulfillment in life through unearthing unconscious material and being in intimate and intentional relationships with others.

My practice is currently a hybrid. I offer in-person sessions at my office in Berkeley, CA twice a week. I also offer services via telehealth to anyone residing in the states of California, Colorado, and Florida. Some clients local to the Bay Area choose a mix of in-person and virtual. Both formats can be conducive to effective therapy. Location arrangements will be discussed during the intake process.

I typically work with people on at least a weekly basis. Some people prefer to come in more than once a week. When appointments happen less than once a week, therapy tends to not be as effective because I don’t get to hear from you frequently enough to be able to truly help you. Instead, we are often playing catch up. You may end up spending much of the session updating rather than getting into the emotional material that you are coming to therapy to address.

Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how long therapy will take. I provide long term therapy without an expiration date. Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them and the length of time therapy can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on many factors such as your comfort level, attachment style, commitment to therapy, honesty with yourself and with me, unpredictable life events and changes, and the factors that are driving you to seek therapy in the first place.
