My fees reflect the value of working with a licensed clinical psychologist in the San Francisco Bay Area with 15+ years of training, experience and expertise.

If you are a student or someone with limited financial means, please inquire about my sliding scale spots.

While I am not currently on any insurance panels, I am happy to provide a superbill (a document that outlines the services a client receives, which insurance companies use for reimbursement) should you choose to utilize your insurance plan. I recognize that therapy can be an investment, so I highly encourage you to call your insurance company to inquire about any benefits for an out-of-network provider, as many insurance companies reimburse up to 50-80% for out-of-network services.

I believe that therapy should be accessible for everyone. So even if I am not the right provider for you, there are many agencies in the Bay Area where you can potentially connect with a provider with a lower fee:

• Open Path Psychotherapy Collective

• Queer Life Space

• CIIS-Golden State Counseling Center

• Liberation Institute

• UC Berkeley Psychology Clinic

Additionally, here is a comprehensive list of sliding scale, low fee, or free mental health services in the Bay Area, including therapy and medication management.

I offer both virtual HIPAA-compliant video sessions and can see clients who reside anywhere in California, as well as in-person sessions in San Francisco. I have a quiet and peaceful office in Lower Pac Heights (see pictures below).

Appointments are available Monday through Thursday, 9am - 4pm.

I recommend all new clients begin on a weekly basis so that we can start working towards making progress on your goals. Research also shows that therapy is most effective with consistent sessions. From there, we can revisit your goals and adjust session frequency depending on your needs. 

I require a 48 hour notice of cancellation prior to your scheduled session. For late cancellations or missed appointments, the full session fee will be charged.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.  This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises. 

You can fill out the submission form. Once received, I will contact you within 2 business days to schedule a free 15-20 minute phone consultation to determine if we are a good fit.

This call allows us a chance to get to know one another and see whether it’s a good match on both sides before moving forward. I can share more about my therapy approach and how I can potentially support your specific needs and goals, and answer any questions you may have during this time. If it is a good fit on both sides, we can schedule your initial appointment. If we decide it is not a match, I am happy to provide a referral for you.

If you are interested in couples therapy, I ask that both partners are on the consultation call.

For individual therapy, we’ll explore in more depth what is bringing you to therapy, what has worked and what hasn’t, and what you’re hoping to address together. We’ll also dive more into your familial, social, and cultural histories, and anything else that feels important and relevant to explore further in our work.

For couples therapy, we’ll start the first appointment as a joint session. After this appointment, I’ll meet with you both individually to learn more about your own personal histories and perspectives. After that, we’ll resume with joint sessions. Please note that for virtual sessions, I require that both parties are in the same location for the appointments. While Zoom sessions are just as effective as in-person, I have found that it does detract from the effectiveness of the work if you’re logging in from different locations. I do this out of respect for your time and energy - ultimately I want you to get the most out of your sessions!
