Individualized Therapy
We provide virtual psychological services for patients living in California or Vermont. Many of the strategies provided come from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mind/Body Therapies, Cognitive Processing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We believe in taking an active role as a therapist, providing a non-judgmental safe space and gentle inquiry to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help patients feel better and reach their goals.

Our services include but are not limited to:

We welcome adults of all ages, abilities, genders, orientations, ethnicities, and spiritual beliefs to reach out for care.


Psychotherapy is individual and personal. Services are often billed by the hour. The hourly fee is $200. Appointments (appts) can range from few to many depending on needs and goals.

We are not in network with any insurance agencies and do not accept insurance.

If you have a health insurance policy or employee assistance benefits (ie, FSA, HSA, HRA), it will usually provide some coverage/reimbursement for Telepsychology appointments (sometimes video-only is reimbursed, not audio). I will fill out forms and provide you with reasonable assistance I can in helping you receive the benfits to which you are entitled; however, you (not your insurance company/employee assitance program) are responsible for full payment. Based on this, it is very important that you find out exactly what mental health services will be reimbursed.
