Frequently Asked Questions
We accept clients who pay independently for services and also those with Kaiser Permanente.
In the event that you have other health insurance benefits through a different health insurance agency, it is likely that you can still use your benefits. How that process works is as follows: I provide you with a receipt for your sessions. You submit the receipt to your insurance and they reimburse you in accordance to your plan by mailing a check directly to you.
Please contact your health insurance for more information about their reimbursement rates so you can determine your financial responsibility per session and to get the fax number or email address where you'll send the receipts.
For clients who have Kaiser Permanente, I bill your insurance directly and you are only responsible for your copayment. You are welcome to contact them regading the amount of your copayment.
Please let us know if you have Kaiser Permanente or if you plan to pay privately.
When teens receive support in therapy, their progress is strongest when a parent is actively involved in the process. When parents participate alongside their teen, the brain has the stability and reinforcement it needs to create deeper, more lasting change at home and in daily life.
For this reason, parent participation is built into my approach. Parents join sessions with their teen every other week and engage in the Synergy curriculum (materials are provided). Between sessions, both parent and teen will have brief practice assignments to complete. This shared process helps reinforce progress, strengthen communication, and create lasting change at home.I help couples rebuild safety, strengthen connection, and restore the emotional security that healthy relationships depend on. In our work together, I guide both partners in understanding and resolving the emotional and mental patterns that block connection, communication, and intimacy.
By supporting each partner’s brain to process and resolve these underlying patterns, couples begin to experience more clarity, healthier boundaries, and a deeper, more synergistic connection — one that feels steady, responsive, and genuinely nourishing.
