  • See my fee page!

  • I am an out-of-network provider, meaning that as of now I do not contract with insurance companies (for many reasons we can discuss!). Therefore you are responsible for paying the full agreed-upon fee at the time of service. I will then provide super bills for folks who would like to submit for out-of-network insurance benefits. That said, I reserve a percentage of my slots for sliding scale. Please reach out with questions and see my fees page for more details.

  • I am a licensed clinical psychologist who offers virtual therapy in California. For more details, please visit my About page.
