  • I am offering in person therapy in Los Altos, California, and able to provide virtual (telehealth) sessions to Washington or California residents who prefer telehealth.

  • My patients range from age 15-60 years old.

  • It is important to me that I make therapy accessible to those who are unable to pay my full fee. I always try to hold a few sliding scale slots. Please reach out to discuss if this is necessary for our work together.

  • All sessions are virtual and are 50 minutes in length. I find that therapy is most beneficial when meeting on a weekly basis. We will find a consistent time slot that works with your availability.

  • Individual sessions are set at $180 a session. Payments can be made via credit card, debit card, and most FSA/HSA cards through my practice’s online portal.

  • I am currently not in-network with any insurance panels at this time.

  • Yes. Many health insurance plans offer partial or full coverage for out-of-network mental health services. Consider asking your provider the following questions by calling the number on the back of your insurance card:

    Does my plan offer any “out-of-network” insurance benefits for mental health?

    What is my annual deductible and has it been met?

    What is my “co-insurance”?

    Do I need prior approval or a referral in order to receive reimbursement for out-of-network mental health care?

  • Insurance companies mandate a diagnosis for mental health services, oversee your health records, and may seek access to your information and progress while in therapy. You may have a high deductible for in-network services and may have more out-of-network benefits than you previously knew about. There also may be therapists that specialize in identities and difficulties that you are experiencing that are not in-network, limiting your chances of finding the therapist that is the best fit for your needs.

  • "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, only then I can change."

    Carl Rogers

  • The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

    — Albert Camus

  • "Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."

    Carl Jung

  • “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

    Jiddu Krishnamurti

  • "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."

    Marcel Proust

  • "The attempt to escape from pain, is what creates more pain."

    - Gabor Mate

  • "Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked."

    - Irvin Yalom

  • "The task of psychotherapy is not to eliminate suffering but to give a voice to it, to find a form in which it can be expressed."

    - Eric Fromm

  • Be yourself; everyone else is already taken
