FAQ’s

1.       Do you take insurance?

• I am not an "in network" provider with any insurance but if your plan has "out of network" coverage, sometimes, they will reimburse you for part of the fee. We can discuss creating a superbill that you send to your insurance provider.

2.       How do I pay for sessions?

• Payment for sessions are due at the time of each appointment. We accept all credit &  debit, including FSA & HSA, &Venmo

3.       How long are sessions?

• Typically sessions are 50 minutes in length. I also provide 30-minute sessions as needed.

4.       What theories do you utilize?

• I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment theory, Motivational Interviewing, Restoration Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Structural Therapy, & Family Systems. The theory I use with you will depend on your goals, needs, and what feels best for us during sessions.

5.       Why should I meet with you?

• My philosophy to therapy is that our bodies are not separate from our souls. Healing begins with the recognition that each element of our lives is interconnected, and we cannot address one without addressing the others. From a holistic standpoint, I will help guide you in identifying the unhelpful behavioral/relational patterns in your life and move towards understanding where they come from, how to cope with them, and change them into healthy patterns.

6.       Do you only meet online?

• Currently sessions are online via my HIPAA compliant software.

• Weather and time permitting, I offer “walk-and-talk” sessions in Martinez, CA where we meet in a public location for our sessions. Please ask me more about this option if you’re interested.

7.       How do I get started?

• Email or call me to set up a free consultation to see if we would be a good fit to address your concerns. I look forward to hearing from you!
