Individual sessions typically start at $200 but I reserve a limited number of sliding scale slots, so please feel free to enquire about fee adjustment.

Couples sessions typically start at $250 but may also be eligible for sliding scale fee adjustments.

I don’t currently take insurance, but I can provide a superbill that you can take to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

My sessions are typically 50 minutes but may expand to 80-minute sessions for both individuals and couples/friendship therapy as more time can sometimes help to jumpstart the work. I typically meet my clients on a weekly basis but there are some occasions in which we may decide to meet more or less frequently.

Yes, I am available to meet both in person in San Francisco and via telehealth for clients in California.

All three may be licensed clinicians qualified to provide therapy after completing the necessary supervised clinical hours and passing the licensing exams. A PsyD and PhD are both doctoral level degrees in clinical psychology and holders of either can call themselves “psychologists.” The difference is that a PsyD focuses primarily on clinical training and practice, while a PhD balances clinical training with a heavier research emphasis. Both doctoral level degrees require more years of study than at the master’s level, provide training in psychological assessment and diagnosis, and culminate in a dissertation. Master’s level therapists (MFT, LCSW, LPC) complete a shorter but still comprehensive graduate degree in psychology and supervised clinical hours, and may call themselves “therapists” but not “psychologists.” Semantics aside, degree type ultimately matters less than their clinical skill and goodness of fit. Clinicians at all levels can provide excellent care, so rather than filtering by degree, focus on finding someone whose style, experience and clinical interests feel right for you.
