frequently asked questions

  • I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ adults and adolescents (14+). I do also work with adult and teens who do not identify as LGBTQ+ but resonate with my approach.

  • I help folks through the following experiences:

    inner criticism, anxiety, shame, sexual issues, gender exploration, coming out, identity exploration, kink/BDSM exploration, relationship struggles, religious trauma, internalized homophobia, and the trauma of having grown up in an anti-queer world.

  • For therapy, I offer a reduced fee of $95.00 for our first 50- minute appointment together. This is an effort to support you in exploring if we feel like the right match before further financial investment. Ongoing psychotherapy has an investment of $225.00 per 50-minute appointment.

    For consultation with other care providers, I offer 30-minute appointments at $135.00 and 50-minute appointments at $225.00.

    I do not take insurance. If you have any out-of-network benefits/reimbursement I can provide a monthly statement called a superbill that you can then submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

  • I have a 24-hour cancellation policy, in which clients must cancel within 24 hours of our scheduled appointment to avoid financial responsibility for the appointment. I do, however, offer complimentary make-up appointments for late-cancels if able to be scheduled within the same business week.

  • My work is informed by: Internal Family Systems, Self-Compassion, Gestalt Therapy, Narrative Therapy, & Person-Centered Therapy. Check out the “My Approach” page for more details on how I work with folks!

  • Frequency can vary based on each person’s needs and situation. Ultimately, you get to decide how often you’d like to meet. Typically, I recommend starting with a weekly or every-other week cadence.

  • I provide therapy both in person in San Francisco and Marin, and online/virtually via secure video or phone - whichever works best for you.

  • The length of treatment depends on each person’s unique situation, hopes, and needs. I work with some folks long-term and ongoing, and other folks for a more short-term, targeted time period. We can discuss what might work for you.
