SERVICES

Whether working with individuals or couples, teens or adults, the psychotherapy services I provide center around noticing and changing self-defeating patterns and expanding the range of what we allow ourselves to feel, think, and do. Most often we feel stuck and not fully ourselves because we are focused only on a few strong feelings, a few loud inner voices, and see only a limited number of life choices. When we feel more open to the fullness of our experience, we feel a greater sense of ease, and see a greater number of options. We feel more free to express what we honestly think and feel and make choices more consistent with our deepest sense of who we are and what we want. We feel more authentic, more available to build intimate and supportive relationships, and more courageous and playful in living a richly textured and creative life. 

​

Because each of us struggles in different ways, to different degrees, in different circumstances, and for different reasons, I work collaboratively in identifying goals for therapy and in finding ways to reach those goals. This means that it takes time for us to work together to explore what brought you to therapy and for me to understand your unique struggles and strengths, your past and present experience, and the patterns and processes that you want to change. My style is warm and interactive, genuine and direct, with equal focus on exploring your feelings, thoughts, and choices.

​

My full fee is $225 for a 50 minute session. I offer a limited number of sliding scale appointments based on financial need. I am in-network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of California, and can also provide a super-bill to submit to your insurance company. 

 

Good Faith Estimate Notice:  You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under Federal 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
