Pricing

My therapeutic services are all provided online.

I offer grief therapy, trauma therapy, LGBTQ+ affirming care, Ericksonian hypnosis, teen therapy, and relationship therapy — all from your couch, car (parked, engine off), or even bed with your fur babies curled up next to you. No commuting, no childcare, no gas costs. And for most conditions, it's just as effective as in-person.

If you're worried about cost, consider this: what has the problem already cost you? Your sleep? Your relationships? Your peace of mind? Sometimes the real expense is not getting help.

Therapy is an investment in yourself — plain and simple.

If you're carrying depression, anxiety, grief, or a past that still hurts, putting time and energy into your mental health isn't a luxury. It's self-care. And you're worth it, no matter what you've been told before.

My rates

For new clients, I charge $185 per 50-minute session for individual and couples therapy. I raise my fee by $5 each January and offer a sliding scale for those who truly need it.

For intensives, which are longer and more concentrated than standard sessions, I charge $370 for a 90 minute session. For groups I charge $45 per 90 minute session, and it is usually paid up front for a series of six sessions.

Insurance I accept

I'm in-network with Aetna, United Behavioral Health / Optum, Carelon, and Anthem Blue Cross.

If your plan isn't listed here, I'd be an out-of-network provider — so sessions wouldn't be covered. I'm also unable to accept Medicare or Medi-Cal (supplemental or straight plans).

Take control of your mental health with direct payment options

Healing shouldn't come with fine print.

When you're doing deep work — especially around trauma, grief, or identity — the last thing you need is an insurance company peeking over your shoulder, limiting your sessions, or slapping a diagnosis on your file just to cover your care.

Private pay therapy changes that.

You're more than a diagnosis code. No label required. We focus on your whole story, not a billing category.

Your privacy stays yours. No diagnosis on record. No third party reviewing your sessions. What we talk about stays between us — no impact on future insurance, employment, or legal matters.

Healing on your own timeline. No limits on how long or how often we meet. No reauthorization needed if you pause and come back. You work on what matters to you, at the pace that fits.

Access to what actually works. EMDR, Flash Technique, somatic work, hypnotherapy, EFT for couples — modalities that many insurance plans may not cover but that help people truly heal. You deserve therapy that's private, flexible, and built around you — not a reimbursement code.

Schedule free consult

Getting the most out of therapy

I charge the same amount for clinical consultation sessions for other therapists, of the same amount of time ($185/50 mins). Please inquire about intensives (90 minutes or more of concentrated therapy) if you're interested. The price for those is $370.

All my sessions are online — HIPAA-secure video therapy from wherever you are in California.

Cancellation Policy

I know life happens. If you need to cancel, just give me at least 48 hours' notice so I can offer that time to someone else.

For cancellations made with less than 48 hours' notice, there's a $80 fee. If you're feeling under the weather, no worries — just let me know as soon as you can. The only time you'll be charged without notice is if you don't show up at all (barring true emergencies).

This helps us keep things fair and respectful for both of us.

When you book your first appointment, I'll send you all the details on how things work. Please see the No Surprises Act Notification, which I am legally required to share with you.
