I believe that therapy should be accessible to everyone and I offer a few sliding scale times based on need and on a first come, first serve basis. My standard rate is $200 per session and I offer a free 15 minute consultation session to see whether this is the right fit for you. I take credit cards only.

While I am not on any insurance panels, I can provide documentation for reimbursable services if your insurance plan provides out-of-network benefits.

I have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so please provide notice via email or 415-236-3743 or I will have to charge you for the missed session.

The length of our work together will differ for each person. My goal is for therapy to be as brief as possible, however the length can sometimes depend on the problem we are working with and your commitment to the process. Because a positive working relationship between the client and therapist is crucial to long-term success, I initially recommend coming in for at least six sessions to explore and define our goals. Most clients continue for six months or longer.

Generally, we meet for 50 minutes once a week. Therapy is a commitment you make to yourself so consistency and frequency are important for building a strong foundation.

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. Since we will agree upon the fee and frequency prior to working together, you will be able to anticipate the total yearly cost of sessions. However, if you’d would like me to provide this estimate for you, please ask and I would be happy to! 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.
