Scheduling
To set up an initial session, please contact me at 415-322-9572. I am happy to answer any questions you might have about therapy or the way I work. Therapy is usually conducted once a week and we will work together to find a time that works for your schedule.
Fees
Please contact me to inquire about my current fee. I offer a limited number of sliding-scale slots for those experiencing financial constraints.
Payment Methods
I accept cash, check or charge.
Insurance
I am currently not a contracted provider with any insurance companies. However, a growing number of insurance companies reimburse for psychotherapy. If you choose to seek reimbursement, I can provide you with a monthly invoice that you can submit to your insurance provider. Your insurance provider may then pay you directly. It is your responsibility to verify your eligibility with your insurance company. You are expected to pay your full fee at the time of your visit.
Cancellation
I require 2 business days advance notice to reschedule or cancel an appointment. If you do not provide notice 2 business days in advance you will be charged in full for the session.
I check my voicemail regularly. I make every effort to return calls within 24 hours or by the next business day, but cannot guarantee calls will be returned immediately. If you are experiencing a life threatening emergency or are feeling unsafe call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Additional resources include: the 24-hour Alameda Crisis Line at 1-800-309-2131 or the 24-hour San Francisco Suicide Hotline at 415-781-0500.
