FAQ
Your questions are valid — here’s what you can expect before getting started.
Do you take insurance?
I am a private-pay provider and do not accept insurance. However, I can provide superbills that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
​
If you’re considering this option, I encourage you to contact your insurance provider in advance and ask:
-
What is my out-of-network coverage for mental health services?
-
What percentage of each session fee is reimbursed?
-
Is there a deductible I need to meet first?
What are your fees?
My session fees reflect the use of structured, evidence-based treatments like DBT and CBT:
-
Initial intake (60 minutes): $350
-
Individual therapy (45 minutes): $285
-
Parent skills coaching (30–45 minutes): $190–$285
All fees are discussed transparently before scheduling your first appointment.
Can I see you in person or virtually?
Yes. I provide in-person therapy in Los Angeles (at my Encino office) and online therapy throughout California and Indiana.
​
Virtual sessions follow the same structure and confidentiality standards as in-person care, and can be a flexible option for clients with busy schedules or distance constraints.
What types of therapy do you offer?
I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), DBT for parents, and SPACE parent coaching.
​
Each approach is evidence-based and tailored to your goals — whether that’s managing anxiety, improving relationships, or finding emotional balance.
How do I get started?
The first step is scheduling a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll briefly discuss what’s been going on, answer your initial questions, and see whether we’re a good therapeutic fit.
​
If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule a 60-minute intake session to understand your goals and start developing a treatment plan.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please provide as much notice as possible. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice are billed at the full session rate.
​
Consistency matters in therapy, but I understand that life happens. I appreciate the courtesy of advance notice whenever possible.
Do you provide a Good Faith Estimate?
Yes. Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of therapy.
​
I provide this estimate upon request or before your first appointment. You can learn more at www.cms.gov/nosurprises or by calling 800-985-3059.
Who do you work with?
I work with adults, teens (14+), and parents navigating challenges such as emotion dysregulation, anxiety, depression, BPD, OCD, or family conflict. Each session is collaborative, structured, and centered on your strengths and goals.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re curious about how DBT or CBT might help, schedule your free 15-minute consultation today.
