Frequently Asked Questions

  • I’m located in Oakland, CA (San Francisco Bay area) and offer virtual therapy sessions for women living in California.

  • Each session is 50-55 minutes and is held virtually. After you schedule your first appointment, I will send you an email with initial forms to complete along with a HIPAA compliant video link through Simple Practice. On the day of your scheduled appointment, you will click on the video link to begin the session.

    During the first session, we will review the paperwork you completed and go over your mental health history, current emotional struggles and what you would like to get out of therapy. Along the way, we may discuss your strengths and resources as well as any other information you would like to share.

  • It depends on whether you will be using your insurance or private pay.

    Private pay: Counseling sessions are 50-55 minutes long and $120 per session. I have a few sliding scale spots ($70-100) if you are unable to pay full fee.

    On the day of your session, your debit or credit card payment will be run through a HIPAA compliant payment system.

    Insurance: If you are using your insurance, you will pay a co-pay each session through Headway.co or Grow Therapy.

  • If you are unable to meet at scheduled time, I ask you cancel or reschedule appointment within 24 hours notice to avoid a fee of $60. The exceptions are illness or a true emergency.

  • Yes, I am partnered with Headway (headway.co) and Grow Therapy (www.growtherapy.com).

    I take in-network clients from the following insurers: Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross of California, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, Carelon, and Optum.
