FAQ

Currently I offer my services to residents within the state of California via Telehealth. 

My current fee is $275 per 50-minute session.

While most clients prefer the standard 50-minute session, sometimes there is too much to cover in that amount of time. Therefore I offer the option to add an hour to your session for $200.

You can pay via credit card, debit card, cash, or check at the time of service. Plus, most HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) can be used to pay for therapy.

I am considered an out-of-network provider for insurance companies.

While I will not bill them directly, I can provide you with a documentation that can be submitted to most insurance companies for reimbursement minus your copay and/or deductible. Be sure to check with your insurance company first to see how much they will reimburse.

I know that people get sick and emergencies happen. They happen for me, too.

However, I reserve your therapy time for just you, which means if you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, I may be unable to fill that time with someone else. So, I reserve the right to charge you the entire session fee.

That is a tricky question, because it is different for every client. It really depends on what you want to get out of therapy, how motivated you are to change, and what happened to get you to start therapy in the first place.

My goal, ultimately, is to get to the point where you don’t need to see me anymore, because you have developed the tools and skills necessary to create a happier, more fulfilling life.

It’s okay to come to therapy alone, even if you feel your partner is part of the problem.

Having just one person in the relationship making changes often causes a ripple effect, and the other partner(s) change as a result.

Yes, I can be a good fit even if you are not kinky or poly. Therapy is not like those puffy, stretchy shirts at the pharmacy that are one-size-fits-all.

I work with clients from all different lifestyles who are dealing with divorce, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Not just the kinky and poly ones.

It means that I believe that sex is healthy (not to mention enjoyable), regardless of whom you choose to have sex with, or how many partners, or how frequently you engage in sex… as long as it is with consenting and informed adults.

I am LGBT+ knowledgeable. I have experience working with all configurations of the sexuality spectrum, particularly bisexual and transgender.

Nope. I only offer talk therapy. And bottled water… I have that, too.

Then you cry. What better place to cry than during your therapy session?

Tears can express all kinds of emotions: anger, hurt, betrayal, frustration, sadness… the list goes on. So don’t worry if you cry. I have plenty of tissues.

If you are active in the local community, there is a chance you could run into me outside of our sessions.

In order to preserve our therapeutic relationship and comply with confidentiality, I won’t acknowledge that I know you unless you greet me first. You get to decide who knows that you are my client.
