How long do counseling sessions typically last? 

Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long, often referred to as a "therapeutic hour," because this length provides a balance between sufficient time for meaningful work and practical considerations for both the therapist and the client. It allows for enough time to delve into issues, process emotions, and make progress, while also allowing the therapist a short break for administrative tasks and preparation for the next session.

What happens during the first counseling session? 

Together, we will start by going over the informed consent, confidentiality, fees, and policies. This is also a time when we get a chance to connect and start building a trusted therapeutic relationship.

Where are you located?

I run a virtual practice for people who reside in California. This is how I can reach and work with clients throughout the state of California. Engaging in online therapy offers clients a convenient and flexible way of accessing professional support, effective guidance, and treatment from the comfort of the environment they choose.

How often will I need to come to counseling? 

My suggestion is that you come to counseling 1x/week in order to receive the full benefits of therapy with efficiency. Each session is like a dose of wellness, and with each consistent dose of therapy, you will find yourself meeting your goals and feeling lasting healing. Goal-oriented therapy takes anywhere from 1-3 months, depending on the client's goals.

How much do sessions cost? 

50-minute sessions are $175.

Are sessions covered by my insurance?

I am out-of-network for most PPO plans; however, I can provide you with a Superbill for you to send to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Do you work on weekends ? 

I do not offer appointments on the weekends.

Where do sessions take place? 

HIPAA-compliant Telehealth, which will be provided by your therapist.

Who do you work with? 

Individuals, Couples, and Families.
