Frequently Asked Questions

You are sent a HIPAA compliant link to access the telehealth sessions.

Once you’re on, sessions are a collaborative space where we will work with whatever you want to focus on that day. If there’s no topic, we figure it out together. We are continuously working on your short and long term goals along with holding space for anything that comes up outside of those goals!

Sessions are $200 for 50 minutes and tailored to your needs.

My approach is highly specialized in trauma, anxiety, and identity exploration, helping you break patterns that have felt impossible to change. If you’re interested, we can discuss out-of-network superbills.

Out of network therapy is when you pay the full fee upfront and then (if desired) work with your insurance to get reimbursed afterwards.

There are a few benefits with this approach that can make it worth it:

1. Maintaining your privacy: Therapists are not required to take as detailed notes, or to give you an official diagnosis, so the content of your sessions is much more private and you don’t need to have a diagnosis on your record.

2. Flexibility: Insurance often covers only a set number of sessions and may cut their payment of therapy short even if you still want to continue. With out of network, the frequency and duration of therapy is fully up to you.

3. Dedication to your treatment through high quality therapy: When therapists primarily work with out of network clients, they often take on less clients in total, reducing the chance of you ending up with a burnt out therapist. You have a higher chance of getting a therapist energized, ready to focus on you, and give you the dedicated support you need to reach your goals.

I work with Thrizer so you can check what your out of network reimbursement rate will be before we begin sessions.

You will also be able to upload the superbill I give you to Thrizer in order to receive reimbursement either instantly (5% fee) or within a few weeks (1% fee). This is meant to make it easier to pay out of network fees without breaking your bank, but you are always welcome to send your superbills directly to your insurance as well!

Any late cancellations or no shows 24 hours or less of the session will incur a cancellation fee.

My license only lets me provide therapy for childhood trauma for adults in California, so for now I can’t work with you unless you physically reside in California.

Business hours are Monday to Wednesday from 9AM to 5PM. Reach out to see my current availability for time slots.

Everyone is different in how long they need to be in therapy, so we can’t give specific estimates on how long therapy for childhood trauma will last.

Sometimes you come in to learn a few skills, and then we uncover a lot that ends up taking a few months to more than a year. Sometimes you come in for something that seems really big, but gets resolved in a month.

We will continually check in to monitor your progress towards your goals and whether or not continuing therapy is right for you at the time.

I currently take Aetna insurance.

For my out of network clients whose insurance I do not take, superbills will be provided and may help with insurance reimbursement! Please reach out with questions for this.
