Frequently Asked Questions
✨What is therapy with you like?✨
Collaborative, conversational, humorous, and grounding. You don’t have to be in crisis to show up—sometimes the best sessions happen when it feels like there’s “nothing to talk about.”
My style is down-to-earth and real. I believe therapy can hold both depth and lightness. I laugh easily and believe sometimes a curse word or witty meme can say it best. I will invite you to take a deep breath and be your unedited self.
✨What is your stance on sex and relationships?✨
I endeavor to be sex-positive and non-shaming, whether you’ve had many sexual experiences, none at all, or somewhere in between. I welcome conversations about sexuality, pleasure, intimacy, kink, non-monogamy, and relationships of all kinds—without judgment.
✨Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?✨
All of my sessions are virtual and are open to anyone located in the state of California
✨How long will therapy take?✨
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people come in with a specific focus and work short-term (a few months). Others prefer a longer process, with space to go deeper into their stories and patterns. We’ll check in along the way to make sure therapy is supporting your needs.
✨What if I’m new to therapy (or nervous to start)?✨
That’s completely normal. We’ll go at your pace, and there’s no “right way” to show up. My job is to create a space where you feel safe enough to bring whatever parts of yourself are ready to be seen.
✨Do you offer a free consultation?✨
I do! I offer a free 20-minute video call to see if we might be a good fit. This is a chance for you to share what brings you to therapy, ask questions, and get a sense of my approach before committing.
✨What does it cost?✨
My fee is $190 for a 50-minute session. I do not currently accept insurance, but I offer a limited number of sliding-scale spaces.
✨How do you take payment?✨
use the Ivy Pay platform, which accepts all major credit cards. Payment is due at the time of session.
✨What is your cancellation policy?✨
Cancellations require 24 hours’ notice. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee.
✨Good Faith Estimate✨
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining the expected cost of therapy. While it isn’t possible to predict in advance how many sessions you may need, you can request a written estimate at any time. Your total cost will depend on your goals, the number of sessions, and your unique circumstances.
