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.)

Family Psychotherapy
Like individual therapy, families seek psychotherapy for a wide variety of reasons. Concerns may include, shifts in family structure, adjusting to a new town, 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 and families seeking weekly, bi-weekly or bi-monthly psychotherapy.
In-person sessions are held in an office space in Calabasas and remote sessions through HIPAA compliant, encrypted video platforms.
Before deciding to schedule an appointment, a free telephone consultation can be arranged by calling me at (424) 241-0399 or by sending me an email.
Therapy sessions typically lasts fifty to sixty minutes.
Fee: The fee is $200 per session for individuals and families. I reserve a small portion of my practice for reduced fee clients. If you need a reduced fee due to financial reasons, please let me know. If available, I will do my best to accommodate you. I accept cash, check and all major credit cards as a form of payment (cash or check are most preferred).
Insurance: I am in-network with Aetna health insurance. If you do not have Aetna, please know that most PPO plans offer partial reimbursement for services. If this is the case, I can furnish you with a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement.
If you would like to use your insurance, please inquire if I am eligible to accommodate your specific plan. Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services. I'd recommend asking these questions to your provider to help determine your benefits: Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits? Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet? Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit? Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
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.
