I primarily work in person because being face to face creates deeper connection. Still, I understand that virtual sessions are sometimes the only practical option. For clients in Palos Verdes Estates, both in person and virtual work well, and we can even combine them depending on your needs.

I am considered out-of-network. Many PPO plans reimburse partially for therapy. I provide superbills so you can submit them to your insurance company.

I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel without being charged. If rescheduling is not possible that week, the full session fee applies.

Weekly sessions at the start are essential for building connection and making progress. Every-other-week can slow the process. Once you are seeing change and feel more steady, we can shift to biweekly if it makes sense for you.
