FAQS

I’m based in Marina del Rey and licensed in the state of California.

All sessions are held online through a secure video platform. You can join from home, a private space on your lunch break, or even a parked car. Online therapy is flexible and portable, making it easier to fit support into real life.

No. My practice is fully online, allowing clients across California to access therapy from the comfort and privacy of their own space

My session fee is $300 for 60 minutes.

I offer both couples therapy and individual trauma-focused therapy (IFS & EMDR). The fee is consistent across formats, reflecting the depth and structure of the work.

Extended sessions are often recommended when we want to slow things down, deepen the work, or maintain continuity—particularly for trauma processing or more complex relational dynamics.

I am a private pay practice and accept all major credit and debit cards. A limited number of reduced-fee spots are available based on need.

No — I do not accept insurance. I am a private pay practice.

If you have out-of-network benefits (often PPO), you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. I provide a monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurer.

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged the full session fee. This policy helps protect the time set aside for your session and ensures fairness for all clients. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Committing to weekly sessions at the start can feel like a lot, but consistency is key to real change. In those first few months, we focus on building safety, momentum, and practical tools to help you grow together.

As your relationship stabilizes, we may shift to biweekly sessions. Flexibility can be helpful, but meeting less often may slow your progress or extend the time needed for therapy. Keeping a steady rhythm — especially early on — makes a big difference in how deeply the work lands.

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and understand what brings you in. I’ll ask about your goals, your relationship dynamics, and what you hope to change or strengthen. By the end, we’ll start identifying themes and map out a direction for our work together.

At the beginning of our work together, I meet with each partner individually—with both of your consent. These sessions help identify factors that may interfere with couples therapy, such as ongoing abuse, untreated mental health conditions, addiction, or trauma that may need specialized care.

I also explore childhood experiences and family dynamics that shape how you each show up in your relationship. Typically, each of you has one individual session to ensure fairness and keep the focus on your shared well-being.

These meetings are always meant to support your relationship as a whole. Any key insights are brought back into joint sessions with care and respect.

The length of therapy depends on your goals and what you’d like to work on. Some couples notice meaningful change within a few months, while others continue longer to deepen and sustain those shifts. We’ll move at a pace that supports real, lasting change—not quick fixes.

The No Surprises Act gives you the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected costs before you begin services. This estimate outlines the anticipated fees for therapy so you can make informed choices about your care. You’ll receive one when you schedule your first appointment.
