Fees & Insurance

  • Individual Therapy: $230 per 50-minute session

    If you’re used to powering through, keeping it together, or taking care of everyone else first, it’s normal to feel conflicted about spending money on yourself — or to tell yourself you should just save it and push through a little longer. Many of the people I work with were taught to be practical, self-sufficient, and to endure rather than slow down and ask for support.

    The work I do isn’t about quick relief or surface-level coping. We take time to understand the patterns underneath stress, shutdown, or burnout, and work toward changes that actually last. Private pay allows us to do this work thoughtfully and at a pace that isn’t dictated by insurance limits.

  • I am considered an out-of-network provider. I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. I also accept FSA and HSA cards.

  • I take credit cards through Ivy Pay, which are securely charged at the end of every session. I’ll walk you through the setup during our first meeting.

What You Can Expect from Therapy

  • I specialize in deeper, long-term work.

    Many people begin to notice meaningful shifts within a few months — more clarity, less reactivity, and fewer patterns running on autopilot. For a lot of clients, that early clarity opens the door to deeper work, and many choose to stay longer — often around a year or more — because the work builds and continues to deepen over time.

    You don’t need to know how long therapy will take before starting. We’ll talk openly about your goals, the pace that feels sustainable, and what you want to be different.

  • I work with clients weekly.

    Weekly therapy gives us the consistency needed to understand patterns and build real momentum.

    When sessions are spaced too far apart, people often stay on the surface or end up repeating the same conversations.

    If weekly therapy feels like a stretch at first, that’s common. We’ll talk through what you’re carrying and whether this pace is workable.

  • I offer both! You can meet with me in-person at my Fremont office, or online if you live anywhere in California. Learn more about in-person therapy in Fremont and online therapy.

  • You can get started by scheduling a free, no-pressure 15-minute consultation. This is a chance for us to connect, talk through what you’re looking for, and see if we’re a good fit.

  • No, I do not work with children or teens. If you’re looking for a therapist for your child or teen, feel free to reach out and I can provide referrals to trusted providers who specialize in that work.

Cancellation Policy/ Rescheduling Policy

Cancelations or reschedules must be made 48 hours ahead of the appointment. If a cancellation/ reschedule occurs ahead of 48 hours, you are free to reschedule if you would like.

Sessions that are canceled or rescheduled less than 48 hours prior to the session will be charged at the full fee. Sessions that start late are also charged at the full 50 minute fee.

Deposits made during the consultation to reserve your first session are not refundable.

Emergency Cancellations

I understand that life happens and emergencies occur. If those occur you are free to reschedule with me on the same week given my availability. Late cancellations that occur because of non-emergency reasons cannot be rescheduled and client will be charged the full fee.

The definition of what qualifies as an emergency is at my discretion. Most common instances are vehicle accidents, death or hospitalization of loved ones, or illness qualify as an emergency. Common issues such as work obligations, family needs, forgetfulness, or general busyness do not qualify.

Please contact me if you need to cancel your session or have any questions.
