They usually involve more planning and logistics than a standard session can accommodate. Some examples of extended exposure therapy sessions include: driving on freeways and bridges, taking BART or the ferry, visiting the airport.Full Day IntensivesFull Day Intensives are available for clients with flying phobias who want support in completing a round trip practice flight. Please contact me to discuss my day rate.Travel PolicyIf you prefer to meet at my Oakland office (5349 College Ave.) to begin your exposure session, there is no charge for travel time. If you prefer to meet at another location, I charge for travel time. When we meet off-site, I reserve additional time in my schedule that would otherwise be dedicated to client sessions. The travel fee is based on my hourly session rate ($360/hr) and is billed based on the round-trip travel time from my office to the meeting location (calculated using Google Maps at the time of travel):1–30 minutes round trip (minimum): $16531–40 minutes round trip: $22041–50 minutes round trip: $27551–60 minutes round trip: $330 Cancellation Policy: 48 hours' notice is required to reschedule or cancel a session. Providing less than 48 hours' notice will result in a charge for the full amount of the session.Insurance:I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, I can provide monthly Superbills for you to submit for reimbursement.Sliding Scale Spots:I maintain two sliding scale slots in my practice, both of which are currently filled. Please contact me if you would like to be added to the waitlist or for referrals.

Monday 9:00am - 5:00pm Tuesday 11:00am to 7:30pm Wednesday 9:00am - 5:00pm Thursday 9:00am - 5:00pm I have additional availability for extended exposure sessions (flying, driving etc.) on Fridays and weekends with enough notice.

I work with individual adults (18+). I welcome clients from all backgrounds. Sessions may also include partners or family members, if desired, so that I can provide education to help them better support you in reaching your treatment goals.

There are two parts to my practice: Talk Therapy and Exposure Therapy. You may benefit from only one or a combination. In Talk Therapy, I incorporate interventions from two main evidenced-based therapeutic approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also encourage Mindful Self-Compassion and self-acceptance. This integrative approach allows me the flexibility to combine styles to meet each client's individual needs. Exposure Therapy is an evidenced-based treatment for anxiety. It involves us working together to help you confront feared objects, situations, and/or activities that you currently avoid. Exposure therapy is a gradual and collaborative process to help you overcome fear.

For talk therapy I am currently offering virtual sessions only. For exposure therapy I offer both virtual and in-person sessions.

I meet with all clients once per week (at minimum) for the majority of our work together. I have found that this is the best way for me to gain an understanding of your needs and implement an effective treatment plan. When we are nearing the end of therapy, we may choose to reduce to every-other-week for a limited time depending on treatment progress, therapy goals, and schedule availability.

I have a 48 hour cancellation policy. If you cancel with less than 48 hours notice you are responsible for the full fee for the missed session.

I accept Lyra Health but my Lyra spots are currently full. For all other insurance companies, I am considered an "out-of-network" provider. If you have coverage for out-of-network therapy, I can provide you a monthly statement, called a Superbill, with the necessary information to seek reimbursement from your insurance company. Many private plans do provide significant out-of-network benefits, which may reimburse you 50-100% of the cost of therapy. Please note that you will be responsible for paying for each session directly and the reimbursement will be sent to you at a later point by your insurance. If your insurance doesn’t cover, reimburse, or fully reimburse out -of-network mental health, you may be able to use funds from a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), or health reimbursement account (HRA).
