Extended Exposure Therapy Sessions and Full Day Intensives
Extended exposure therapy sessions are offered to allow more time for focused exposure. 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 the standard session fee. 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 - $390
90 minute extended exposure session - $468
120 minute extended exposure session - $624
Full Day Intensive (exposure session for round trip flight) - please contact me to discuss my day rate
Cancellation Policy:
48 hours' notice is required to reschedule or cancel any 50 minute therapy session
1 weeks' notice is required to reschedule or cancel any Extended Exposure Therapy Session (75 minutes or longer) or a Full Day Intensive.
Travel Policy
If 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 flat rate based on travel time from my office ($60 for 30 minutes round trip, + $30 for each additional 15 minutes).
Notes:
- Session fees are reviewed annually. Existing private-pay clients receive small increases each January.
- Rates for clients using Lyra EAP are determined by the EAP contract and may differ from standard private-pay fees.
- A limited number of sliding scale slots are available each year.
Monday 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).
