FAQs

Please call me to discuss fees, as my rates vary for different services. I do offer a limited number of sliding scale fee slots to individuals and couples that would not otherwise be able to afford therapy. Sliding scale fees are based on your household income.

Yes! I offer in person sessions at my office in North Berkeley.

I do not accept insurance plans but would be happy to give you a "Superbill" that you can submit to your insurance company for partial reimbursement. A superbill is an itemized receipt that your insurance might be willing to accept, and pay a portion of the session back to you.

Your individual internal landscape dictates the path our therapy journey will take, and it's my responsibility to align with what best supports your progress, including the pace and techniques employed.

After the initial intake session, once we've clarified your objectives, you can typically anticipate a session structure that involves a brief check-in at the outset. This serves to help you ground yourself fully into the session or address any immediate concerns that may have arisen. You may also use this time to share any progress, insights, or inner work you've engaged in between our sessions.

Subsequently, we may pick up where we left off in the previous session or explore new topics that emerge. It's important to note that this process may not always follow a linear path, but rest assured that our focus will remain on working towards your therapeutic goals, even if our attention shifts to different areas from week to week. Your journey is unique, and our sessions will reflect that individuality.

Cancellations must be made 48 business hours prior to the scheduled appointment otherwise the full fee will be charged. Missed appointments will also incur the full session fee.
