My style is collaborative, honest, and straightforward. I’m here to guide your process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.
-
I’ll ask you to complete a few intake forms online before we meet. This helps me get a general sense of your background.
Our first session is a calm starting point. We’ll get clear on what’s bringing you in, what you’ve tried so far, and what support would feel most helpful.
You’ll leave with a clearer direction—and a sense of whether this feels like the right fit.
-
Most sessions are 50 minutes.

Sessions are available in-person at my office in Corte Madera, CA and on HIPAA-compliant Zoom for clients located in CA, MA, NY, MA, and LA.

I don’t participate in any insurance panels, including Medicare, for which I am on "opt-out" status. If you would like to pursue insurance reimbursement (Medicare excluded), I’m happy to provide a monthly SuperBill — an itemized statement you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement of some portion of the visit cost (when applicable).

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
