FAQ
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.

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.
