Frequently Asked Questions
How long have you been in practice, and what is your experience?
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in both California and Colorado and have been practicing since 2015. I have experience working with teens and adults across a range of clinical settings, including residential treatment, intensive outpatient care, and outpatient therapy. My work has included helping clients with anxiety, trauma, intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), with an emphasis on practical skills and a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
Do you accept insurance?
My practice is private pay and I do not bill insurance directly. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, so I recommend checking your out-of-network mental health benefits directly with your insurer.
How much do sessions cost?
Individual therapy sessions are $195–$225. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can briefly discuss what you're looking for and determine whether working together might be a good fit.
How does billing work?
Payment is due at the time of service. All fees and policies are reviewed during the intake process.
Do you offer in-person or online therapy?
I currently offer online therapy for teens and adults located in California and Colorado. Sessions are held securely by video, allowing us to meet from wherever you feel most comfortable.
What is group therapy like?
I periodically offer an 8-week DBT-based Emotion Regulation Skills Group for adults 18+. The group is structured and skills-focused, with an emphasis on understanding emotions, reducing emotional vulnerability, and learning practical ways to respond more effectively when emotions become intense. Groups begin once there is enough interest to form a cohort.
Do I need to be in individual therapy to join group therapy?
No. Individual therapy is not required to participate in group therapy, though some clients choose to combine both.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Therapy is confidential, with standard legal and ethical exceptions related to safety and mandated reporting, which are reviewed during intake.
How do I know if therapy is a good fit for me?
A consultation call can help determine whether my approach aligns with what you are looking for and whether services would be a good fit. Please reach out to me to schedule a free 15 minute screener call.
