Or easier, at least. Opening up to a stranger is hard, especially when you have to choose one from a sea of options. I aim to make that process as easy as possible as it can be, so reach out if you think we might be a good fit.

I don’t bill insurance directly, but I’m considered an out-of-network provider. Many of my clients in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Los Angeles are able to get partial reimbursement through their PPO plans.

I provide a monthly superbill, which is detailed receipt, to help with reimbursement. Every plan is different, so I encourage you to contact your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network benefits.

Fees & insurance

I am considered an out-of-network provider

I provide a monthly superbill (a detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Every plan is different, so I encourage you to contact your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network benefits.

Here are some helpful questions to ask your insurance company:

  • Do I have mental/behavioral health coverage?
  • What are my out-of-network benefits for mental health services?
  • What percentage of therapy costs will be reimbursed?
  • What is my deductible, and has it been met?
  • Is there a limit to the number of sessions covered per year?
  • Do I need a referral or pre-authorization for reimbursement?

If you’re unsure about navigating the insurance process, I’m happy to guide you through it!

depending on your insurance plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement for therapy sessions

Life happens, and I completely understand that schedules change! However, in order to respect both your time and mine, I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your session.

  • Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged at the full session rate.
  • Missed appointments (no-shows) will also be charged at the full rate.
  • Insurance does not reimburse for missed sessions.

If an emergency arises, please reach out as soon as possible, and we can discuss your situation.

Starting therapy may feel like a big step, but I’m here to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible.

1. Schedule a Free 20-Minute Consultation – This is an opportunity for us to connect, discuss what you’re looking for in therapy, and determine if we’re a good fit.

2. Complete Intake Paperwork – I’ll send you a secure link to complete some intake forms. This helps ensure that our first session is focused on you rather than paperwork.

3. Book Your First Session – You’ll choose between in-person therapy in Hermosa Beach (near Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach) or online sessions anywhere in California. Once your paperwork is complete, we’ll schedule your first session, and you’ll receive a link for our meeting (if online) or directions to my office (if in person). Taking this step can be nerve-wracking, but you’re not alone. If you have any questions along the way, I’m here to support you.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, explore what’s bringing you to therapy, and start building a foundation of trust.

Here’s what you can expect:
✔ A relaxed conversation – No pressure to share everything all at once.
✔ Exploring your goals – What do you hope to gain from therapy?
✔ Discussing any concerns – If you have worries about therapy, we’ll address them.
✔ Creating a personalized plan – We’ll outline a general direction for our work together.

Therapy is a journey, and it’s okay if you’re not sure where to start. We’ll figure it out together. Whether you’re starting therapy in Los Angeles or settling into online therapy from home, I’ll meet you where you are.

What happens in the first session?

06/ Serving Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach & Online Throughout California

Therapy sessions are typically 50 or 90 minutes long and are held weekly to start. This consistency helps build momentum and allows us to make meaningful progress.

Over time, depending on your needs and goals, we may adjust the frequency of sessions. Some clients transition to biweekly or monthly sessions, while others complete therapy when they feel they’ve gained the insight and skills they need.

Therapy isn’t meant to last forever. My goal is to help you build the tools and confidence to navigate life on your own terms.

How often will we meet, and how long will I need therapy?

07/ Serving Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach & Online Throughout California

Every session is tailored to your needs, but therapy generally includes:

Processing emotions and experiences – A space to talk through your thoughts, feelings, and challenges.
Gaining insight and self-awareness – Understanding patterns and how they impact your life.
Developing new skills – Strategies for communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, and more.
Support & guidance – Therapy is a collaborative process, and I’m here to walk alongside you.

Some sessions may feel deep and introspective, while others may be focused on practical tools and problem-solving. Every person’s journey is unique!
