I am located in the Bay Area and licensed for the entire state of California. I offer telehealth sessions via a secure platform to allow you to meet with me wherever you are located in the state of California.

I also offer in-person sessions in Pleasanton CA.

I accept payment through Ivy Pay, a HIPPA compliant payment system that accepts all major credit, debit, and HSA cards

I am considered an out of network provider meaning I do not take insurance. Insurance companies have the right to access your therapy notes and determine how many sessions they will allow us. They can decide to no longer cover sessions based on their interpretation of your progress and also require me to give you a diagnosis for billing purposes. I am passionate about being able to meet you where you are at in your process of healing and growth and don’t believe that people fit into the boxes insurance often requires of them.

I am happy to offer you the necessary receipt or superbill to file with your insurance company for possible partial reimbursement of the session fee.

Some insurance plans offer to reimburse you up to a certain percentage if you see a mental health provider out of network. You can contact your insurance and inquire about this to learn if this is an option for your plan. Some helpful questions to ask your insurance provider are:

• Do I have a mental or behavioral health policy with out of network benefits?

• What is the coverage amount/percentage per therapy session?

• What is my responsibility/CoPay for each session?

• You can ask about reimbursement for CPT codes 90791, 90837, 90846 and 90847

• Do I have an out of network deductible?

• How much of my out of network deductible has been met?

• What is the start date of the calendar year my out of network policy is based on?

A “Good Faith Estimate” explains how much your medical and mental health care will cost. You can ask for this before you schedule a session.

Under the law, health care provides need to give patients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical service, including psychotherapy services. Please inform me if you do not have insurance or don’t plan to use insurance, and you will be provided with a Good Faith Estimate.

I will send you questionnaires to complete prior to our first meeting to gain a more in depth understanding of your concerns, needs, and goals. In our first session we will begin getting to know one another and you will have to floor to share as much as you feel comfortable about yourself and current concerns. I know sometimes this can feel strange and too open ended, and in that case I will ask questions to help us enter into the conversation.

This is dependent on your needs and goals. This journey is unique for everyone and I tailor my approach to meet you where you are on yours and we check in at points throughout the process about this.

Whether this is the first time you are seeking support or you’ve been on your healing journey for a while, I am honored to partner with you at any point on your process.
