frequently asked questions

how often are sessions?

I find that therapy works best when we meet at least once a week. Some folks also find benefit from meeting more than once a week if their schedule and resources allow it. This may also depend on what is going on in your life and what you would like to get out of therapy. This is a collaborative decision and would be discussed together in session.

do you take insurance?

I am in network with Medicare and SHIP/Wellfleet (UC Berkeley student insurance). I am considered an out-of-network provider for insurance panels that I am not contracted with.

what is an out-of-network provider?

Most insurance companies offer benefits for meeting with an out-of - network provider. This means you would pay the full fee and receive reimbursement from our sessions from your insurance company. If you are interested in using this, please reach out to me and I can help walk you through the process.

what is your fee if I am using out of network benefits or private pay?

My fee for a 50 minute session is comparable to other psychotherapists with similar training in the San Francisco Bay Area. Please reach out and we can discuss this during our consult.
