My rate is $175 per session for individuals and $200 for couples, families, and children. Sessions are typically 50 minutes. 80-minute sessions can be negotiated for a fee increase.

I currently have a limited number of income-based sliding scale spots available. Please inquire directly to discuss further.

I do not accept insurance. However, I will happily provide you with a monthly superbill of services rendered, which can be submitted to insurance for potential reimbursement.

I welcome adult and adolescent individuals, families, and partnerships of all types and backgrounds.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relational difficulties, identity stress, familial discord, creative and vocational blockages, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, and existential/spiritual dilemmas

I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to help us sense whether we might be a good match. This is an opportunity for you to ask clarifying questions and gather information you are missing, and for me to better understand the scope and scale of your needs.

I will happily provide referrals if we determine someone else would be better suited to help you.

If we choose to enter into a therapeutic relationship, I offer in-person sessions at my office in Pasadena, CA. I also provide virtual sessions via HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing for clients residing anywhere in California.

I generally recommend therapy be committed to at least once a week.

This is something we can discuss during our initial consultation and reevaluate throughout our work together.

I truly believe that, for each client, a unique therapy must be created, one that by definition cannot be fully described in advance.

However, as a general model, initial sessions will focus on rapport building, history taking, and collaboratively working towards a collective understanding of preferred therapeutic goals.

Ongoing treatment is then tailored towards these goals and delivered through mutually agreed-upon methods in an environment that balances warmth with challenge.

Typically, the decision to conclude therapy is made collaboratively. However, your participation in treatment is entirely voluntary, and your autonomy to choose when to end therapy will always be respected.

I require 48-hours notice to cancel an appointment. Failure to provide 48-hours notice will result in being charged the full fee for the missed session. I also recognize that emergencies and unforeseen circumstances sometimes arise within this timeframe and I do my best to accommodate on such occasions
