Where are you located?

My office is physically located in Orinda, California. The office is right off San Pablo Dam Road, and minutes from Highway 24, providing central access to those living in the San Francisco East Bay. It is also accessible from SF and other parts of the Bay via BART; the office is a 15 minute walk, 10 minute bus ride, or 5 minute bike ride from the Orinda BART station. Free parking is available in two adjacent lots and nearby street parking. The office is located on the first floor of an office suite building and is wheelchair accessible.

Are you offering video or phone sessions?

Yes! Right now I offer therapy sessions exclusively via video and phone. Once it is significantly safer to see clients in person I will give clients the option of in person, remote, or a combination of in person and remote sessions. My license enables me to see clients currently residing in the state of California.

What are your fees and forms of payment?

Please contact me to learn about my current rates. For video and phone sessions, credit card is the only form of payment accepted. Once in person therapy resumes, I accept credit card and personal checks. Payment is due at the time of service.

Do you accept insurance?

I do not directly accept health insurance, but I can provide an invoice that will contain all information needed by your insurance company to process a claim for services. I would be considered an out-of-network provider. You can find out if your insurance company provides reimbursement by calling their customer service number and asking if they reimburse for out-of-network mental health providers, and if so, at what rate/percentage. It may also be helpful to ask about deductibles, copays, sessions conducted via video or phone, and session limits. If you have a HSA, you could submit a copy of your receipt to use your pre-tax dollars or are welcome to use an HSA credit card.
