questions

what are your rates?

Individual therapy: $155 for each 53-minute session

Couple’s therapy: $175 for each 53-minute session

80-minute Brainspotting session: $200 (not covered by insurance)

I also offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for those who need to pay out of pocket but cannot afford the full rate. Please contact me for more information.

do you take insurance?

Yes! I will verify your insurance prior to the start of your first session. Insurance benefits vary from one plan to another, but in general I am able to accept the following:

Aetna, Optum (including Western Health Advantage, United Healthcare, Sutter Health Plus, and UMR), Anthem Blue Cross of California, and Anthem Medi-Cal.

what is your cancellation policy?

Please let us know at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the appointment will incur a $25 fee.

Will I be provided with a Good Faith Estimate?

Yes. If you are paying out of pocket you will be provided with what is known as a Good Faith Estimate, which outlines your estimated cost of services. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 higher than your estimate, you have the right to dispute it. As your therapy journey progresses, your Good Faith Estimate may be updated and you will be provided with a copy of the revised estimate. Those using insurance to pay for sessions will not be given a Good Faith Estimate. If you plan to use insurance and have questions about your copay or other costs, please ask me prior to the start of your first session.

do you offer both in-person and telehealth?

Yes! I’m proud to offer in-person sessions for those in the greater Sacramento area. I intentionally designed my office to be a comfortable and relaxing space that you can look forward to visiting at each appointment. For those who prefer to do sessions virtually, I am able to offer telehealth appointments to clients anywhere in California. Please note that you must be physically located within California at the time of your appointment.

how do i know if we’re going to be a good fit?

Do you like having an unconditionally supportive and empathic mental health professional in your corner? Great! Then we’ll probably be a good fit. Also, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation where we can discuss your goals and you can ask me any questions that will help you determine for yourself whether you think we would work well together.
