Appointments + availability

Not accepting new clients at this time.

Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes in length, scheduled by appointment only. Couples sessions are typically 75 minutes. Clients are generally seen weekly, although frequency can vary depending upon need. I am available and check messages during normal business hours, and you can contact me at (408) 357-9253. If there is an emergency, and you are unable to reach me directly, call 911, go to the local emergency room, or contact the crisis line at 1-800-273-8255.

Fees

The private-pay cost per 50-minute session is $225, payable at the beginning of each session, unless we make other arrangements. Sessions longer than 50 minutes and services provided outside of scheduled appointments (e.g., telephone conversations, email, correspondence, etc.) will be billed at the same hourly rate on a prorated basis. I do offer a limited number of sliding-scale fee slots. Payment is accepted in the form of cash, check, Venmo, Paypal, or credit card and is due at the beginning of each session. 

Insurance

At present, I do not participate in any HMO/managed care panels. If you have a PPO health insurance plan, your mental health carrier may reimburse you for all or a portion of my fee.  Certain health insurance policies provide coverage for out-of-network mental health services. However, you (not your insurance company) are responsible for full payment of fees. On request, I will provide you with a monthly statement to submit to your health insurance provider or a health savings account.  If you plan to use your insurance, you should contact your insurance carrier prior to your first session and ask about your benefits for psychotherapy. Depending on your plan, insurance companies may reimburse 20-80% of the session fee. Check with your health insurance plan to learn more.
