FAQs

Session Info...

Sessions are 50 minutes long and are typically held at the same time each week. I am open to a more flexible schedule but I do not always have space in my schedule for that. Let me know what your needs are during the consult and we can see if our schedules will align.

 

I only offer telehealth therapy at the moment. We meet via a secure online video platform. I work with folx from all over California. If you are outside of California, I will not be able to provide therapy for you at this time. ​​

Fees 

and other logistics

Fee Adjustments

I maintain flexibility with existing clients around fees. I can adjust my fees up and down whenever possible as life and financial circumstances change. 

For example, if you are paying a reduced fee and your finances significantly increase or vice versa, you are paying a standard rate and experience job loss, we can work together to find a rate that works for both of us. 

Though I increase my fees by $10 annually, if you are not able to cover that we can talk about it. Everything is a conversation.

I fully recognize that my fee structures may not work for you. I can also provide referrals of more affordable therapy options. 

**Currently, I only have space in my practice for the standard fee. My reduced-rate fee range is full. 

My Standard Fee is:

  • $200 for individual, family, and relational sessions

  • Clients pay what they can comfortably afford within that range. 

  • I increase my rates by $10 on an annual basis.

  • I offer Superbills. ​​

Reduced Fee Information:

​As someone who does not have access to generational wealth, I have a commitment to helping folx who cannot pay the standard range. I reserve 1/3 of my schedule for folx who fall in this range. This scale reflects the cost of living in the Bay Area. 

The reduced fee rate range is between $100 - 150, and I utilize a tiered system for these rates. ​(*reduced range is currently full*)

$100

$120

$150

I do not ask for proof of income and the determination of reduced fees takes a lot into consideration beyond income (family and community obligations, student loans, debts, access to resources, etc). I trust that if you need access to the reduced fee that you can determine what is best for your finances. If you are not sure, I often refer people to the Green Bottle economic justice sliding scale structure. 

I accept credit/debit cards and HSA/FSA cards for payment. I currently do not accept insurance but can offer Superbills. Note that Superbills do require a diagnosis.
