How long are sessions?
How often are sessions?
I have found that therapy works best and allows for the most growth when attended weekly.
How much does therapy cost?
Sessions are $20. 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.
See below for more information.
Do you take insurance?
I am considered an out-of-network provider.
For those with a PPO insurance plan, I will submit your insurance claim on your out of network benefits for you.
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.
What is your cancellation policy?
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.
How do I set up an appointment?
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!
You specialize in working with men and couples. Do you also work with women?
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?
What do you enjoy about being a therapist?
Have you been in therapy yourself?
Of course! I’m committed to being the best I can be for you. Part of that commitment includes bettering my own mental health.
Every tool I use in therapy has also been used on me, and they have all revolutionized my life.
What do you do when you’re not working?
I love Los Angeles and California, so you’ll likely find me at the comedy shows near Hollywood, hosting game nights at home, or meandering the coastline with my puppy.
