I am operating a “hybrid” practice, offering some hours in-person in addition to telehealth.

My general office hours are Mondays through Thursdays, 9am-6pm most days. On Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays, I offer some in-person hours. My office is located in a quiet neighborhood in West LA called Mar Vista.

I typically book clients on a standing weekly appointment. Should you require more flexibility with scheduling, we can discuss further during our initial phone consultation.

I’m available via email and text message. In general, please utilize these forms of contact to discuss billing and scheduling only, keeping personal details for our sessions. I will respond to all emails and inquiries during business hours only. Should you contact me after 6:00pm your call/message/email will be replied to the following business day. Should you contact me on Friday-Sunday, all messages/calls will be responded to on the next office day.

All therapy sessions are 50 minutes. I strongly advise that when engaging in the deep work of therapy, a weekly commitment is best for both the therapeutic process, particularly in initial phases of treatment. This is especially true when engaging in somatic interventions such as EMDR and Somatic Experiencing. That said, less frequent meetings can be accomodated if we collaboratively determine your therapeutic goals can still be met during our consultation call.

50-minute individual therapy sessions (telehealth or in person): $230/hr. Payment is due day of session.

My rate is based on my experience, current market standards for my credentials, and the expenses of continuing education to ensure top-quality care. A portion of my practice is allocated for reduced fee services for individuals experiencing unemployment, underemployment, disability, systemic oppression, or discrimination. Please inquire for a sliding scale spot if you feel you qualify.

Additionally, a percentage of my income every month is donated to the International Rescue Committee, a NGO that assists people whose lives have been upended by war, conflict and natural disasters.

If I cannot accommodate you for any reason, I’m happy to provide you a referral or recommendation for someone I feel might be a great alternate option.

I am not currently contracted with any insurance providers. I am considered an "out of network" provider.

If you have a PPO insurance policy, I can provide you with a receipt of services (called a superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company for partial reimbursement. Please note that I can not guarantee reimbursement, as this depends on your insurance company’s out of network benefits.

It is advised to call your insurance company prior to the commencement of services in order to verify out-of-network reimbursement and coverage.

I am currently conducting a “hybrid” practice, with some hours available for in person and others via telehealth. Many of my clients have opted to remain virtual, meeting weekly via a secure telehealth platform.

If you choose to see me in-person and have been exposed to COVID19 or if you suspect that you are suffering from any communicable illness, please contact me so we can discuss either rescheduling or moving to telehealth.

Though the world has “opened up” and seems to be rushing to “get back to normal” we can choose to do so at whatever pace feels good to you.

Please note: you must be a resident of California in order to receive counseling services.

In fairness to all my clients and my own scheduling capacity, I have implemented a standard cancellation policy: More than 24 hours in advance, you may reschedule or cancel a session at no charge. Exceptions may be made for true emergencies, but in these instances please contact me as soon as possible, otherwise you will be charged for the session.

If you do not show up at your regularly scheduled appointment, or if you make a cancellation with less than 24 hours notice you are responsible for the full session fee.

I offer a 15 minute grace period to attend all scheduled appointments. Should you fail to show up within 15 minutes of beginning of session start, the session will automatically be rescheduled to a later date.

After 3 weeks of consecutive late cancellations/no shows I will consider our therapeutic contract closed. You can contact me to resume our work together. If I no longer have availability, I can provide you with a list of referrals.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit http://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
