Request an Appointment
Please read my intake process, services and office polices to see if we are a good fit!
Thank you for considering working with me in my practice. This page is to outline the basics of my intake process, services, and office policies so you can be informed in making a decision in whether to work with me.
Please note that I am licensed in California only and therefore am only able to see patients who are located in the state of California or willing to travel to California.
Although patients must be located in California to work with me, I am currently only offering video appointments.
I do not accept insurance or negotiate with insurance companies. My practice is fee-for-service meaning that patients are self-pay. I do provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance (if you have out of network health benefits) for partial reimbursement, although I can not guarantee your insurance will reimburse for my fees. Please note that I do not offer sliding scale or discounted rates.

Frequency of Visits
Please note that regular and weekly psychotherapy visits are essential in effective and meaningful therapy. We will build on the insights gained from the previous session each week and adjust frequency of visits as needed. After the initial appointment, I would like to follow-up within 1-4 weeks during the initial phase of medication treatment and schedule every 4-6 weeks as treatment progresses.
Please note that follow up appointments for medication management are typically 25 minutes; however, in less common instances, I may recommend scheduling a 50 minute appointment to allow for more time to discuss complex issues regarding medications, lab results or integrative approaches.

I accept all credit cards which are charged on the day of your appointment. A valid credit card is required to book appointments.

To change or cancel your appointment without incurring a fee, please inform me at least 48 business hours before your appointment. Changes made after this will result in a late cancellation fee of 50% of the charge of the appointment.
At this time, I do not complete documentation for FMLA or disability paperwork, school absences, work accommodations.

Emergency or crisis situations (suicidal or homicidal thinking, self-harm, or risk of harm to others)
