What is the difference between therapy and coaching? Therapy focuses on healing, processing emotions, and resolving patterns that may be holding you back. Coaching focuses on growth, clarity, and achieving goals in your personal or professional life.
How do I know which service is right for me? If your main goal is emotional healing, self-understanding, or resolving past patterns, therapy is usually the best fit. If your main goal is clarity, goal-achievement, leadership development, or navigating transitions, coaching may be more appropriate.
Do you work with clients in person or remotely? Therapy clients: I work with therapy clients throughout California, primarily via telehealth. In-person sessions are available in the San Francisco Bay Area. Coaching clients: I work clients worldwide.
What ages do you work with? Therapy: Adults, families, and children age 10 and up. Coaching: adults.
What can I expect in a first session? We’ll spend time getting to know each other, clarifying your goals, and exploring what approach will best support you. This session is also an opportunity to see if we feel like a good fit.
How long are sessions? Typically the standard 50 minutes for therapy and 60+ minutes for coaching
How do you handle confidentiality? All sessions are private and confidential. Therapy sessions adhere to HIPAA regulations; coaching sessions are held to professional confidentiality standards.
What are your rates and payment options? Rates and payment details are outlined on the individual Therapy and Coaching pages. I offer a sliding scale for therapy when possible.

FeEs & Accessibility

I believe therapy is both an investment in yourself and a partnership. The rate you pay reflects not only the time we spend together in session, but also the depth of training and experience I bring to the work, as well as my preparation for our sessions and commitment to helping you create meaningful change.

Standard Fees

Individual Therapy (50 minutes): $250
Family Therapy (80 minutes): $350
EMDR Therapy (80 minutes): $350

Sliding Scale & Accessibility

I reserve a limited number of sliding scale spaces for clients with financial need. These typically range from $150–$200 per session, depending on circumstances. Please reach out if cost is a concern—we can discuss what’s possible.

INSURANCE

Though I am not currently in-network on any private insurance panels, I am happy to provide you with the necessary documentation to submit for out-of-network reimbursement from your (PPO) insurance company. Services may also be covered by pre-tax Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) or Health Spending Accounts (HSAs).

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your 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 from me for the total expected cost of my psychotherapy services. You can ask me, 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.
