Let’s connect.

I have done my best to include all necessary information on each of my Therapy Service pages so that you are able to make an informed decision without needing to confirm with me first.

If you’ve read through the relevant Therapy Service page and the information doesn’t answer your question, or if you want to double-check that a service is the right fit before scheduling, please use the Contact Form below to reach out to me.

I’m so glad you’re interested in working together!

Because of my scheduling demands and time zone differences, I stopped offering free consultation calls in August of 2024.

What I’ve done instead is tried my best to include everything you need to know about working with me on my website for you to read — without having to wait to schedule a call.

I am also in the process of adding video content to my Therapy Service pages as an alternative way of consuming the information (and so that you can get a feel for what it’s like to work with me on video!).

Of course, there will always be unique circumstances. If you don’t know which service best fits your situation, or you have a question that isn’t answered on the Therapy Service pages, please feel free to reach out via the Contact Form below.

Unfortunately, no. I live in Mexico, and therefore ALL of my work is 100% online. I use HIPAA-compliant video software to meet with clients, so we’ll be able to see each other during the session.

Unfortunately, no. I am not in-network with any insurance company.

(But, I used to be! And occasionally, insurance companies will not update their in-network provider lists after a provider has quit the network. So, you might see my name on your in-network provider list. I can assure you, I have not been in-network with your insurance company since early 2022.)

My reasons for opting-out of insurance include, but are not limited to:

• The red tape and endless hassle that comes with working with insurance companies. I swear, it’s worse than the DMV.

• The ability to maintain a very small caseload, which allows me to give you a far better experience. I see an average of 10 clients a week. This gives me time to research and learn more about topics that come up in our sessions, seek out my own clinical consultation, and show up with my A-game. To put it bluntly, I’m not a burnt out, tired therapist!

• Your privacy as a client — I don’t need to send your sensitive mental health records to a faceless, nameless corporate building somewhere to get authorization to keep meeting with you.

• Agency over your own treatment — YOU get to decide when our work together is complete, not your insurance company.

• Freedom to conduct therapy that supports my clients in the BEST possible way, instead of conforming to a third party payer’s cookie-cutter expectations.

• Practicing what I preach — as your therapist, I will often encourage you to stand up for yourself, set limits with others, and put your oxygen mask on first. Working with insurance companies, unfortunately, would require me to do the opposite of my message. It would require me to sacrifice and compromise what is important to me about being a therapist, providing therapy, and serving my clients. I’m simply unwilling to do that.

Yes, but I am only able to provide a mental health diagnosis for clients in individual therapy.

A mental health diagnosis is NOT given for clients in couples therapy, discernment counseling, or my women’s divorce group.

Typically, insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis for reimbursement.

I include a Z code. Some insurance plans reimburse Z codes; it just depends on your individual plan.

I highly recommend asking your benefits administrator (for employee plans) or calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card to inquire about reimbursement eligibility for a Z code.

My fees are as follows:

Couples therapy: $400 for 60 minutes, $600 for 90 minutes

Discernment counseling: $800 for 2 hours

Women’s divorce group: $800 total for 8 sessions

Individual therapy: $250 for 60 minutes, $375 for 90 minutes

Immigration evaluations: $1,300 flat-fee

Because I keep my caseload purposely small, I typically have some availability within 1-2 weeks. You are welcome to check my availability by using the “Click Here to Schedule” widget above.

As a general rule, I am available 8am-2pm Pacific Time Monday through Wednesday.

I do not see therapy clients after 2pm Pacific Time, or on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays, except in unique and rare circumstances (I will sometimes run my divorce group on Sundays, or occasionally I will schedule a couples therapy intensive on a weekend day).

If you need a therapist who is consistently available in the evenings or on the weekends, I am not a good fit for you.
