Therapy FAQ

What kind of people do you work with in therapy?

I welcome to my psychotherapy practice the diverse adult San Francisco Bay Area community. I have experience working with people from diverse ethnic, sexual, cultural, economic, spiritual, and religious backgrounds.

How long is a therapy session?

A standard therapy session lasts 50 minutes. I offer double sessions (1.5 hours) if there is a special need and we agree together that meeting for a longer therapy session is appropriate. I charge twice your fee for double therapy sessions.

What kind of therapy do you do?

Depending on your particular needs, my approach to therapy may include psychodynamic, somatic awareness, expressive arts, Jungian, humanistic, Buddhist psychology, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy.

What are your fees?

My San Francisco psychotherapy practice fee for individuals is $250 per 50 minute session. And $300 for couples.

Do you take insurance?

I am not a provider on any insurance panels but I can give you a monthly receipt for you to submit directly to your health insurance. You may want to call your insurance and find out what your out-of-network mental health coverage is and the percentage of payment they cover for therapy sessions.

What is your cancellation policy?

I have a 24 hour cancellation policy so if you are unable to make our first appointment, please let me know in advance, and we can reschedule for a more convenient time.

Do you offer telehealth therapy in California?

Yes, I use a HIPAA compliant video platform for telehealth and work with clients across the state of California. Telehealth is an effective way to receive therapy and I have been working with clients using this method for many years.

Do you see clients in-person for therapy?

Yes, I see clients in my San Francisco office in Noe Valley at 4155 24th Street, San Francisco, CA 94114. Street parking is available and the #24 or #48 bus line are half a block from my office.
