Yes! I believe insurance is part of a broader system meant to support health, and I choose to participate in that system so clients can fully use the resources available to them. My goal is to provide high-quality care while making it as accessible and sustainable as possible. Accepting insurance helps reduce financial barriers so clients can focus on their well-being rather than the cost of services.

I am currently contracted with the following plans: 

• Aetna 

• Anthem Blue Cross of CA 

• Blue Shield of CA

• Carelon Behavioral Health

• Cigna 

• Health Net of CA

• TRICARE West 

• United Healthcare/Optum  

Please contact your plan to check your benefits and specific coverage information. 

For those without insurance or with insurance plans I am not contracted with, I do offer cash pay appointments. In some cases, plans I am not in-network with MAY reimburse clients full or in part for services rendered. In these cases, I can provide clients a superbill to submit to those plans I am not contracted with. 

$300 Intake Session 60-minutes

$250 Individual Therapy 60-minutes

The number of therapy sessions you may need depends on your individual goals, concerns, and personal history. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy to address specific issues such as stress, mild anxiety, or life transitions. Others choose longer-term psychotherapy to work through deeper emotional patterns, trauma, or longstanding challenges.

The length of therapy varies from person to person. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process, and meaningful progress often takes time. We will regularly review your goals and progress together and adjust the course of treatment as needed to ensure therapy continues to support your growth and well-being.

Psychologists hold a doctorate degree (PhD/PsyD) and are trained to provide psychotherapy and engage in psychological assessments. Psychologists can evaluate person’s mental health using clinical interviews and psychometric measures in order to diagnose. They are also trained to provide individual, group, couples, and family therapy. They cannot prescribe medications. 

Psychiatrists are doctors (MDs) who attend medical school and specialize in psychiatry. Most psychiatrists handle medication management for psychiatric concerns and do not conduct psychotherapy. They can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe and monitor medications.
