Therapy Basics
-
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), also referred to as a psychotherapist or counselor, with specialized training in relationship dynamics and emotional health.

You may feel stuck, stressed, or caught in overwhelming emotions. Therapy with me can help you find relief, gain insight, develop practical skills, expand thinking, and raise awareness of your brain-body connection to support healing, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
-
Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes.
-
The length of therapy depends on your personal goals. I offer weekly, every-other-week, and monthly sessions. The goal of therapy is to provide relief, teach practical skills, and support you in moving forward to live fully and “graduate” from therapy with confidence.
-
Yes. Online sessions can be done from a phone, tablet, or computer as long as you have a reliable internet connection.
In advance of your session, you’ll receive a LINK via my secure client portal, which is simple to use — just click the session link at the time of your appointment and join. You’ll just need a private space where you feel comfortable speaking freely and to be physically located in California during the session.
-
Yes-you're welcome to text, email, or call. Please note that I don't provide therapy through messages or over the phone, and I typically only respond between sessions if something is urgent.
Any concerns that need a thoughtful, therapeutic response will be addressed during our next scheduled session, where we can ensure privacy and give the issue the attention it deserves. -

Insurance & Fees
-
For individual therapy, I am in-network with select insurance plans through Headway, a secure third-party platform that manages insurance billing.
In-network with insurance plan: Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross California, Oxford, (Optum) and United Healthcare.
Insurance verification can happen immediately or takes a few days. Coverage and co-pay will be confirmed before first session.
Couples therapy is offered as private pay only.
-
Individual therapy: You may request a Superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Couples therapy: Reimbursement is often unlikely. Insurance rarely reimburses for relationship therapy since it is not usually considered a medical necessity.
If you have out-of-network benefits for individual therapy, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your specific coverage.
