Can you work with clients outside the state of California?

Yes! Most of my clients are out of state. Therapists are only able to practice in the state their license is from. My work with clients in all locations outside of California is coaching and not psychotherapy.

What’s the difference you ask? In coaching work I cannot officially diagnose or treat psychological issues. However, I can offer guidance and work with you to come up with the changes you want for your life.

I cannot offer super bills for insurance reimbursement (if your insurance happens to offers this) outside the state of California.

Do you see anyone in person?

No. I only see clients virtually so that I can work with individuals and families regardless of geography. I use a secure, HIPPA compliant video conferencing tool.

What will it be like to work with you?

I don’t want to waste your time or mine. I promise to be honest with you so that you can make the changes you want to make. I won’t tell you things just to make you feel better. I’ll keep it real and tell you what I think is actually going to help. I bring my expertise in mental health, you bring your expertise in you and together we will collaborate in making the improvements you want to see in your life.

How long will we be in therapy?

I wish I could answer this. What I can say is that I am a strength based therapist who does short term, solution focused work. This means I don’t believe you are broken! Together we will come up with goals and make sure you are making progress towards them. My experience is that it often doesn’t take much to make big improvements. We will decide together when you’re ready for a break; you can always come back if other issues arise later.

I don’t believe people need to be in therapy forever. Research tells us that change happens early or not at all.

Do you accept insurance? What do your sessions cost?

I do not accept insurance. I can provide super bills for insurance if you live in California (and if your insurance company will reimburse you for therapy).

Therapy & Coaching sessions are $225 per session (50 minutes)

Group Therapy is $75 per group (50 minutes)

Can you help even if my child refuses to attend therapy?

Absolutely. I do this all the time. Most parents are surprised how effective this is!
