Frequently asked questions
Where is your office?
In downtown Los Angeles:
7720 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90071
I also provide therapy virtually to anyone in California!
How long and often are sessions?
Sessions are 45 minutes in length and should typically be attended weekly for the most growth.
How much does therapy cost? Do you take insurance?
Sessions are $240. Therapy is a financial, time, and emotional investment in yourself.
For those with a PPO insurance plan, I will submit your insurance claim on your out of network benefits for you. Additionally, you may choose to submit sessions to your health savings account (HSA) if you would like.
For insurance purposes, I am considered an out-of-network provider. Everyone’s insurance plan is different, but if you wish, we can run a verification on the phone with your information to estimate your reimbursement.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept credit/debit cards, including those attached to a health savings account (HSA) or FSA. I also accept cash or check.
How do I set up an appointment?
I am dedicated to helping you make meaningful and lasting changes in your life. To do this, I set aside time, especially for you.
If you cannot attend your scheduled appointment for any reason, you must give me at least 48 hours’ notice so that you are not billed.
For your benefit, I often have one reschedule slot open each day. You won’t be charged a late cancellation fee if I can reschedule your session for the next business day.
What is your cancellation policy?
Simply call, email, or fill out the contact form, and I’ll get back to you about scheduling a free 15-minute consultation.
During the consultation, you can tell me a little about yourself, your challenges, and what’s important to you. You can also ask me any questions you may have. From there, we’ll decide if I’m the right fit for you. If so, we’ll schedule your first appointment and get started!
Do you also provide therapy to women?
Of course! I often have several women on my caseload. Women who find success in our work together often seek assistance in decreasing stress, searching for a male perspective, or feeling safer in a room with a man.
What will my first session be like?
Before your first session, I will send you a link to my online portal and have you fill out a series of forms (basic information about you, goals for treatment, current symptoms, privacy practices, and informed consent).
In our first session, we will review any questions about the forms and spend some time getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. The first few sessions allow me to understand what has been going on for you and what we will address in treatment.
What if I’m a bad client?
That’s not possible! You’re reaching out. At this stage, that’s all I need from you.
I firmly believe that our relationship’s safety opens the door for your greatest healing. Therefore, we both must agree that we’re a good team to work together. If I think you’ll find better assistance elsewhere, I have a large network of therapists and will help you team up with someone who might be a better fit for you. This is the number one reason I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if I can help.
Are you licensed?
Yes. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California, LMFT 133554.
