If you have any questions regarding financial or insurance issues, please feel free to contact me at 818-660-5628.
Do you take insurance?
I do not take insurance, but if you have a PPO, I can provide a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Please check with your insurance plan for out-of-network benefits and reimbursement amount. Most PPO's reimburse at a rate of 50-80%, which means you can pay for services up front and I will provide you a Superbill for reimbursement.
How long will therapy take?
How much you care about getting well and what you prioritize in life will have everything to do with the length of therapy. While therapy is only an hour-long experience, the remaining 167 hours of the week are where life actually happens. So, "real" therapy is about the person taking what they learn, discover, and understand about themselves in therapy into their lives by APPLYING new ways of thinking and therefore relating to themselves and their life situation.
How do you work with couples married for decades when you are so young?
Formal training as a psychotherapist is only the tip of the iceberg of my actual LIFE training over the years, where I have been actively involved and invested in the healing of many relationships. Aside from the numerous couples I have helped over the years, in my own personal life I have seen and witnessed the many ways where relationships between people, including couples, can be improved, cultivated, and developed so that insurmountable difficulties could be overcome and challenges learned from.
Do you offer video sessions or in-person therapy?
Currently, I work exclusively online and offer video sessions to all of my clients, both individuals and couples.
