Based on your preference as well as what I recommend based on your current situation, therapy sessions can be conducted in-person or online. I am based out of Pasadena, CA and can provide therapy online for any residents of California.

My hope is to provide you with helpful coping skills early on in our work together. As therapy progresses and we unpack the experiences that led to your current situation, you may actually have some time where things feel really difficult. This is typical for many but it does get better and the hope is that you will find yourself in a much better place on the other side of the hard work.

I am considered an out-of-network provider, and therefore I do not directly accept insurance. I can provide you with a billing statement at the end of each month to be submitted for reimbursement if you have PPO, HSA, or other flexible health care benefits. This works well for many of my clients.

$200.00 per 50-minute session, $250.00 per 80-minute session. I accept all major credit cards as well as Venmo and Zelle.

Some people believe that therapy is only for severe mental health disorders or crises, not understanding that it can also be beneficial for personal growth, coping with stress, relationship issues, and other everyday struggles. I’ll help you determine if therapy makes sense for you on a 15-minute phone consultation you can book here.

I understand that the cost of therapy can add up over time. Together, we can discuss the frequency and duration of sessions that align with your goals and budget. Some clients find success in short-term therapy, while others may prefer ongoing support. We can customize a plan that works best for you.

Yes, what you talk about in therapy remains confidential. Confidentiality is a fundamental and essential aspect of the therapeutic process. As a therapist, I am bound by ethical and legal obligations to keep all information shared during therapy sessions confidential. This means that I will not disclose any information about you or your therapy sessions to anyone without your explicit permission.

However, there are some important exceptions to confidentiality, which are standard in the field of therapy:

1. Harm to Self or Others: If you express intentions to harm yourself or others, I am required to take appropriate action to ensure your safety or the safety of others. This may involve notifying emergency services or relevant individuals who can help prevent harm.
   
   

2. Child/Elder Abuse: If there is suspicion or evidence of child abuse, elder abuse, or vulnerable adult abuse, I am legally obligated to report it to the appropriate authorities to ensure the protection and well-being of those involved.
   
   

3. Court Orders: In rare circumstances, a court order may require the disclosure of certain information. However, I will make every effort to discuss this with you beforehand and keep you informed throughout the process.
   
   

4. Supervision and Consultation: As a therapist, I may consult with other professionals or supervisors to ensure the quality of therapy provided. However, your identity and personal information will be kept anonymous during such consultations.

It's important to know that my primary focus is on creating a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns without fear of judgment or repercussions. Trust is an integral part of the therapeutic relationship, and I am committed to upholding confidentiality to foster that trust.

If you have any specific questions or concerns about confidentiality or any other aspect of therapy, please feel free to discuss them with me during our sessions. Your comfort and peace of mind are paramount, and I'm here to support you in your therapeutic journey.
