How to Begin

Please reach out to me either through the contact form on this page, by e-mail, or by phone or text to the phone number listed. I will respond within 48 business hours.

I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation so that we can get a sense of each other and decide if we are a good fit. In the consultation, I will ask you what you are seeking therapy for, what your therapeutic goals are, and a little about your psychiatric health history.

If after the consultation you decide to move forward, I will provide my current availability. If we are able to find a day and time that works, I will send you a link to my client portal that contains the intake paperwork. Intake paperwork includes a notice about HIPAA privacy practices, therapy informed consent (basically what therapy is and how therapists hold confidentiality), and an estimate of good faith for what you will pay for therapy services over the course of a year, as well as my fees and cancellation policy.

Our first session and first couple of sessions encompass the assessment phase. During the assessment phase, I will gather information and begin the process of learning about your unique story in order to create the best clinical approach for you.

Sessions are held at my brick and mortar office in Campbell, virtually, or in the home or in the community (such as at a park or on a hike).

Once the assessment phase is complete, usually within a few weeks, we enter the nitty gritty stage of treatment. This is where clients often feel uncomfortable before they feel relief from their symptoms. Looking at your past, your relationships, your patterns of behavior, the narratives keeping you stuck, etc. can be really hard stuff! My job is to support you as you unpack and process all that needs to be unpacked and processed.

My goal is for my clients to get better and to not need me anymore. My hope is that our work together will result in skills learned and new insights gained to increase your quality of life in a way you can comfortably and confidently sustain on your own.

I am not currently with any insurance panels, and as such I do not accept insurance at this time. I provide monthly superbills for out-of-network benefits reimbursement.

In-person 60-minute sessions at your home, in the community, or at the office are $200.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Life happens! I do not charge for late cancellations. However, if cancelling becomes frequent, I will open up a transparent discussion that may result in the implementation of late cancellation fees.

I am not available for in-the-moment support between sessions. If you are experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency between sessions, please utilize one of the resource numbers below.
