Fees and FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Consult calls help us determine if we will be a good fit. Studies have shown that being a good fit lead to better outcomes in therapy (even more than what the therapist is trained in). On this call I like to see how comfortable we are having a conversation, which might offer insight to if you feel safe opening up in therapy with me.

    If by the end of the call one or both of us do not feel like we have fully clicked or I am not qualified to treat what you are looking for I would be happy to offer referrals to someone who might be a better fit.

  • Both. In office sessions and Walk and Talk/Nature Therapy sessions are held in Sacramento, CA. Virtual sessions are available to any CA resident (you must be in state during your session).

  • I am considered an Out-Of-Network provider and am able provide a SuperBill, which you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. 

    *I encourage you to contact your insurance to verify your Out-of-Network coverage prior to our first session as not all plans include this benefit.

  • I require 48 hour notice for all cancellations. Failure to cancel within that time frame results in a charge of your full session fee.

  • Appointments are required. Walk-in and crisis services are not available.

    I am available for sessions:

    • Monday 9:00am-3:00pm

    • Tuesday 9:00am-5:00pm

    • Wednesday 9:00am-5:00pm

    • Thursday 9:00am-3:00pm

  • I am not available after hours.

    Due to the limits of my practice, I am unable to take on new clients who are going through high levels of crisis, experiencing high suicidal ideation, are engaging in high drug or alcohol use, or are needing regular check-ins and extra support between sessions.

    If you are having a mental health crisis or emergency:

    • Call 911,

    • Call/Text the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988,

    • Or go to the nearest emergency room.

  • Sessions are scheduled weekly or bi-weekly until you reach your initial therapy goals.

    Once you decide you are ready to reduce the frequency of sessions (to every three weeks or monthly), sessions will move to an "as-needed" basis. You can reach out via email, text, or book a session through my online calendar when you want a check-in session.

    Research consistently demonstrates that therapy yields the most significant benefits when integrated into a client's routine on either a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

forms of payment

cancellation policy

Since scheduling an appointment involves reserving a time slot specifically for you, cancellations made within 48 hours of your appointment will result in a charge of your full session fee.

If you cancel or no-show an appointment and don't reach out within 72 hours, I may release your time slot to a client on the waiting list. You're welcome to resume therapy when you're ready to do so, as availability permits.
