Frequently Asked Questions
-
Both! I offer in-person sessions at my office in Silver Lake which is easily accessible to Atwater Village, Echo Park, Los Feliz, Highland Park, Eagle Rock, and downtown Los Angeles. I also provide telehealth sessions for anyone in California via HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform.

You can contact me via phone or email to set up a free 15-minute phone consultation during which we can discuss your needs, history, background, and goals for therapy. I can also answer any questions you have about me or therapy in general. After determining if it’s a good fit, we’ll set up an appointment and be on our way.

I kindly request 48 hours notice for all cancellations and rescheduling attempts otherwise I charge the session fee.

I am an “out of network provider” which means I do not accept insurance or bill insurance at my practice. However, I can provide monthly superbills that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement if you have a PPO insurance plan. If you think you may be able to get reimbursement, please let me know and I’m happy to guide you through the process.
While I understand not accepting insurance might make therapy less accessible, I strongly believe that providing therapy independent of insurance leads to better outcomes and a better therapeutic experience for clients. Maintaining distance from insurance companies allows you to have more privacy and control. It also allows me to have more space and resources to provide you with the quality care you deserve.

My fee for a 50-minute session is $200 for individual adults and $250 for couples.

Therapy is an investment. It requires your time, energy, money, and trust in both yourself and in me. To see the benefits of your investment, it is best to meet at least once per week. I do not offer bi-weekly (every other week) sessions to new clients.
For those looking for a deeper treatment, twice per week is recommended.

I have been told that I have a down-to-earth approach to “woo woo” therapy. I enjoy demystifying psychoanalytic therapy and making it feel accessible and comfortable to those who may be skeptical. I provide holistic care meaning I am listening to your thoughts, emotions, dreams, and considering what your body may also be communicating. This is such tender work, so you will find that when I show up as a human in the room, you are able to relax, be yourself, and explore.
-
Therapy is a creative, collaborative, and ever-evolving process. While some clients want to focus on specific goals for a shorter period of time, many prefer to work deeply over several months or years to uproot underlying patterns.

Starting your therapy journey is a wonderful opportunity to experiment with trusting your gut. Our first session will give you an idea of what it is like to sit with me — I’ll invite you to share your goals, desires, and story with me. We may enjoy a laugh or sit with an unexpected visiting emotion. You can decide if my style feels right for you. If it’s not the right fit, I would be happy to provide you with referrals for other therapists who might be.
