They may involve more planning and logistics than a standard session can accommodate. Extended exposure therapy sessions start at 75 minutes and are pro-rated based on my hourly rate. Additional fees for therapist travel time may apply, please see Travel Policy below. Some examples of extended exposure therapy sessions include: riding BART, taking the ferry, practicing driving on freeways and bridges, or visiting the airport.75 minute extended exposure session - $41290 minute extended exposure session - $495 120 minute extended exposure session - $660 Full Day Intensive (exposure session for round trip 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 a travel fee based on a reduced percentage of my session rate, as this time represents hours I am unable to see other clients. The fee is determined by the round trip travel time from my office:Up to 30 minutes round trip: $11530–45 minutes round trip: $16545–60 minutes round trip: $215
Please note that the cancellation policy below also applies to travel time that is booked along with a session.Session Expenses:Clients are responsible for any direct logistics costs incurred during the session (e.g., bridge tolls, transit fares for BART or the ferry for both client and therapist).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. Sliding Scale Spots:I maintain two sliding scale spots in my practice. They are currently full, but please feel free to reach out about my waitlist or for referrals.

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).
