What is your fee?

My fees are consistent with the market rate for doctoral level psychologists in the Bay Area. I am out of network with most insurance plans. If I am out of network for your current insurance, I can provide you with an invoice that you can submit to your insurance to obtain whatever reimbursement your plan allows.

Helpful Questions to Ask Your Insurance Company:

  • “What are my outpatient mental health benefits?”
  • “Is there a maximum number of sessions per calendar year?”
  • “Do I have a deductible and does that deductible apply to my mental health benefits?”
  • “Do I require pre-authorization from my primary care doctor before starting therapy?”
  • Note that if for whatever reason, your insurance fails to pay for sessions, you are ultimately responsible for payment.

Do you ever see children or adolescents?

No, I see adults ages 21 and up for Individual Psychotherapy.

What are your office hours?

I see clients by appointment, during the day and evening, Monday through Friday.

How do I set up an appointment?

Call me at (650) 266-9225, my confidential voicemail, which I check often during the day. I will return your call usually within 24 hours, or by the next business day.

What are the limits of confidentiality?

Your confidentiality will be protected. However, under the following circumstances, I must break confidentiality BY LAW if:
