Treatment plans and durations vary from client-to-client, and I work closely with each client to define your specific goals and intended outcomes. 

My practice is solely focused on individual adult therapy at this time.

My standard fee is $225 for one 55-minute therapy session. Payment is due at the time of service. I accept cash and all major credit cards.

I currently accept insurance through Lyra, Aetna, Optum/Unitedhealthcare, Anthem/BCBS, and Blue Shield of California 

If you are not covered by these insurance networks, contact me to discuss additional options, as your insurance may still pay for therapy. To find out what your insurance company will cover, call your insurance company and ask if they cover the services of “out of network” licensed psychologists. I can provide you with forms (called “superbills”) that include information relevant to your insurance company (e.g., my NPI, type of service provided and diagnosis code) that you can submit for reimbursement.

A clinical psychologist has received a doctoral degree from an accredited/designated psychology program. Psychologists undergo rigorous training during their education and must complete thousands of hours of supervised practice in order to become licensed to practice independently. Psychologists all must receive continuing education on a regular basis in order to stay current on a variety of topics to maintain licensure. Psychologists are the only mental health professionals that are qualified to administer psychological testing services.
