Adult Psychotherapy
Adults might come to therapy for many different reasons (e.g., social anxiety, trauma resolution, adjusting to a new family or work role). After treatment aims are obtained, you may choose to end services or continue to further deepen the therapeutic process.
The adolescent years are all about juggling responsibilities and emotions as one transitions toward adult independence. Psychotherapy is an excellent place for a teenager's voice to be heard. (If you are under 18 years old, please know that I will need consent from a parent, but we can discuss how involved you would like them to be in the process.)

Couples & Family Psychotherapy
Like individual therapy, couples and families seek psychotherapy for a wide variety of reasons. Concerns may include, shifts in family structure/dynamic, adjusting to a major change, or perhaps a family member is struggling, and the family unit wants to strengthen ties in order to provide better support. Goals are commonly to strengthen bonds, gain better clarity of the family dynamic, and improve communication.
There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. -Anais Nin
Sessions: My private practice is primarily for individuals, couples & families seeking weekly, bi-weekly or bi-monthly psychotherapy. Group therapy sessions are held less frequent and are based upon needs and requests.
In-person sessions are held in an office space in Malibu and remote sessions through HIPAA compliant, encrypted video platforms. I'm available to see former Calabasas clients at Calabasas location.
Before deciding to schedule an appointment, a free brief telephone consultation can be arranged by calling me at (424) 241-0399 or by sending me an email.
Therapy sessions most typically lasts fifty to sixty minutes. EMDR reprocessing sessions can last up to ninety minutes. KAP dosing sessions last around three hours.
Payment: The fee is $250 per regular individual, couples & family session. An extended ninety minutes session is $300. Group therapy rates vary and depend on the nature of the group. (Unfortunately, at this time, I'm unable to slide my fees to lower rates.)
KAP rates: The hourly rate is $200. (The KAP hourly fees are slighly less than the regular payment, taking into consideration that KAP tends to be more time intensive than the typical therapy pace.) The monthly KAP women's group is $450 total per gathering, which lasts about three hours. The intake, prep & integration session costs for group attendees are facilitated individually, $200 per hour. (This is subject to change if there is an interest for the prep and integration sessions sessions to be held in a group setting, where the cost would then be less.)
I accept cash, check, Zelle and all major credit cards as a form of payment.
Health insurance: I am in-network with Aetna insurance. Most PPO insurance plans offer partial reimbursement for psychotherapy services. If you have a PPO insurance plan and would like to use this benefit, let's discuss, and I can most likely easily submit a superbill to your insurance company.
Cancellation Policy: If you are unable to attend an appointment, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. If not, you may be charged a $75 cancellation fee.
