I would love to hear from you! The first step can sometimes be the hardest, but if you are called please reach out.

Once you do, we can schedule a 15 minute no-fee discovery call where together we can decide if this would be a good fit for you.

I prioritize weekly therapy. This means that together we will find one day and time that works with our schedules and that will be your weekly therapy schedule.

While occasionally it might be beneficial to go down to every other week (for example, if we are phasing out of our work together), from my experience, working with clients on a weekly consistency is what supports them in getting the most benefit from therapy.

Research has shown that weekly therapy has a much stronger treatment outcome.

Individuals: 50 min | $180

For couples+: 60 min | $200

All sliding scale spots are currently full.

I currently do not take insurance at this time.

I do offer the option of submitting a superbill for out of network reimbursement. You would submit this to your insurance company and if they accept superbills from outside providers, they would then facilitate the reimbursement. I always recommend calling your insurance company beforehand to check and see if they accept superbills!

To cancel or reschedule any booked appointment, I require at least 48 hours notice in order to waive the session fee.

With less than 48 hours notice or no notice, you will be responsible for the session fee.

All payments are due at the time of session.

I collect payment by keeping a credit card on file in your “client portal” (where all your information lives, in a protected, HIPPA compliant platform).

Yes! I see clients both in person (in Oakland & Lafayette) and virtually as long as they are a resident of California, where I am registered.

I use Zoom as a virtual platform and create us a recurring link to use each week.

Yes, all clients must be residents of California for us to work together.

I have experience working with youth (ages newborn to adolescence) from around the Bay Area, Seattle, Nepal, and India. I also have experience working with young adults and middle-aged woman-identifying humans from the Bay Area to Ghana to Guatemala.

Within these experiences, I have worked with humans of all ages who have identified as houseless, BIPOC, white, abled and disabled, LGBTQIA+, neurotypical and neurodivergent. As a queer therapist, I particularly hold a passion for serving the LGBTQIA+ community.

It is vitally important for me to stay active in my work of dismantling white supremacy within myself as well as stay educated and cognizant of any identities I don’t hold, that my clients do hold.

To me, spaces meant for healing can not be therapeutic unless they are actively addressing the intersections of our lives that encompass oppression and privilege.

This means that these topics and conversations are centered and made space for in our work together.

Additionally, as a white-identifying cis-gender woman, it is my responsibility to constantly be engaged in my own personal work of educating myself and deconstructing not just all the areas in which I hold power and privilege, but also how our larger systems at play benefit from the white, cis-gender, male, heterosexual, able-bodied, and neuro-typical gaze.

I welcome the opportunity to engage in conversation around these topics at any time during our work together.

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.
