My office is located in Old Pasadena, CA—the address will be shared in a welcome email following our consultation call. You can get to know my space here.

I generally see clients in person on Mondays and Tuesdays, but I’m flexible and can accommodate your schedule. During your free consultation, we can discuss your availability and set up a regular appointment time that works for you.

Yes! Virtual therapy sessions are available for all clients residing in California.

Research shows that online therapy can be as effective as in-person sessions. If you opt for virtual therapy, ensure you have a private space with a reliable internet connection. Sessions are conducted on a HIPAA-compliant version of Zoom, and you’ll receive a link automatically when you book your appointment.

While virtual therapy offers convenience and flexibility, its effectiveness varies depending on individual needs and the nature of the issues being addressed. Because I incorporate somatic work and intuitive touch, I generally don’t recommend virtual therapy for trauma-related concerns. We can discuss the best approach for your situation during or after your free consultation.

Individuals: $175 per 50-minute session.

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots ($150) for individuals experiencing financial hardship or extenuating circumstances. If you require a sliding scale arrangement, please discuss this with me during your free consultation.

Couples & Families: $200 per 50-minute session or $230 for a 90-minute session.

Additional Fees:
If you become involved in legal proceedings that require my participation, I will charge for my professional time and services, even if I am called to testify by another party. My fee for preparation and attendance at any legal proceeding is $450 per hour. Bills and receipts will be provided at the end of each session, and payment is expected upon receipt unless otherwise agreed upon.

I do not accept insurance of any kind. To understand why, please read this blog.

If you have insurance, please be aware that your insurance provider may reimburse you for “out-of-network” services, typically with PPO plans. I recommend checking with your provider before our first session to understand your coverage. Upon request, I can provide you with a Superbill, which you can submit to your insurance provider for any potential reimbursement. Please note that payment for services is collected upfront.

In order to avoid being charged the full session fee, I require written notice via text or email at least 24 hours ahead of your scheduled appointment. I understand that emergencies and unforeseen circumstances can arise and I'm flexible in such situations.

The full session fee will be charged for late arrivals, early departures, missed appointments, or cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice in non-emergency situations or if attendance is inconsistent.

Your scheduled appointment time is reserved specifically for you, and consistent attendance is crucial to the effectiveness of treatment.

Under the federal No Surprises Act, healthcare providers are required to provide clients who are not utilizing insurance with an estimate of the anticipated costs for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You are entitled to request a Good Faith Estimate for the complete expected expenses of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy, either before scheduling a service or at any point during your treatment. If you receive a bill that exceeds your Good Faith Estimate by at least $400, you have the option to contest the bill. It's important to retain a copy or a photo of your Good Faith Estimate. For inquiries or more details regarding your right to a Good Faith Estimate and how to challenge a bill, please visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

An AMFT, or Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, is a therapist who has completed a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy or a related field and is working towards full licensure as an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist). As an AMFT, I have completed the necessary education and am actively working under the supervision of a licensed professional to hone my skills and meet the requirements for full licensure.

Choosing to see an AMFT offers several unique benefits. While I may still be working toward full licensure, I bring fresh, up-to-date knowledge from my recent studies and training. Supervision is a significant benefit to you as it allows me to conceptualize your case from multiple lenses. Regularly consulting with experienced supervisors ensures that I consider various perspectives and therapeutic approaches, which can enhance the quality and depth of care you receive.

I bring a wealth of experience and specialized training in areas like somatic therapy, trauma therapy, and psychedelic integration. My diverse background, combined with a strong commitment to ongoing learning and personal healing, allows me to offer a unique and deeply empathetic approach to therapy.

Ultimately, whether you choose to work with an AMFT or an LMFT should be based on who you feel most comfortable with and who best meets your specific needs. I encourage you to explore your options and choose the therapist who resonates with you, whether that’s me or another professional.
