Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit this website or contact the practice through the website.

Information You Provide

When you contact the practice through a website form, email, telephone, or another communication method, you may voluntarily provide information such as your name, email address, telephone number, and the reason you are seeking services.

Please avoid including sensitive clinical or medical information in ordinary website forms or email unless you have been directed to a secure method of communication.

Information Collected Automatically

Like many websites, this site may automatically collect limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and general information about how visitors use the site.

The website may also use cookies or analytics tools to support website functionality and understand how the site is being used. If third-party website or analytics services are used, those services may collect information according to their own privacy policies.

How Information Is Used

Information collected through this website may be used to:

• Respond to inquiries about therapy services

• Schedule or coordinate consultations

• Maintain and improve the website

• Protect the security and functionality of the website

• Comply with applicable legal or professional obligations

Personal information submitted through this website is not sold.

Therapy and Protected Health Information

Visiting this website or submitting an inquiry does not, by itself, establish a therapist-client relationship.

Once you become a client, information related to your therapy and healthcare may be subject to additional federal and California confidentiality protections. Information regarding the use and disclosure of protected health information is addressed separately in the practice's Notice of Privacy Practices and informed-consent documents.

Third-Party Services and Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party services for functions such as scheduling, forms, telehealth, payment processing, or client portals. The privacy practices of those services are governed by their respective policies and are not controlled by this website.

Security

Reasonable measures are taken to protect information provided through this website. However, no website, email system, or method of electronic communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For sensitive clinical communication, clients should use the secure communication methods provided by the practice whenever possible.

California Privacy

California residents may have rights regarding certain personal information under applicable California privacy laws. The availability of particular rights depends on the law and whether it applies to the practice.

Questions or requests regarding personal information collected through this website may be directed to:

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the website, practice operations, technology, or applicable law. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently updated.

Under the federal No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your healthcare services, including psychotherapy.

If you do not have health insurance, or you choose not to use your insurance to pay for therapy, your healthcare provider is required to provide an estimate of the anticipated charges for your care.

A Good Faith Estimate can help you understand the expected cost of services before beginning or continuing treatment. You may also request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling services.

Because the length and frequency of psychotherapy can vary depending on your needs and goals, the total cost of treatment may change over time. Your estimate can be updated when there are significant changes to your treatment plan or anticipated services.

If you receive a bill that is $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate, you may have the right to dispute the charges through the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process.

Please keep a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.

For additional information about your rights under the No Surprises Act, visit CMS.gov/NoSurprises.

I am committed to making this website as accessible and welcoming as possible for people with disabilities and for visitors using assistive technologies.

I continue to work toward improving the accessibility and usability of this site. If you experience difficulty accessing any part of the website, or need information provided in another format, please contact me so I can work with you to find an accessible alternative.

The information provided on this website is for general informational and educational purposes and is not intended to replace professional mental health care, diagnosis, or treatment.

Viewing this website or contacting the practice through this site does not establish a therapist-client relationship. A therapeutic relationship begins only after appropriate intake, informed consent, and agreement to services have been completed.

Information shared through ordinary website forms or email may not be fully secure. Please avoid including sensitive clinical information unless you are using a secure communication method provided by the practice.

This website may include links to outside resources for convenience. The practice is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of third-party websites.

At this time, I do not accept insurance. I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Because every plan is different, I encourage you to check directly with your insurance provider about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

Limited sliding-scale spaces are available, with priority given to historically marginalized communities.

My standard individual fee is $185 per session.

My standard couples fee is $205 per session.

Payment is expected at the time of service. To continue scheduling sessions, accounts must remain current and may not carry a balance greater than the cost of one session. If a balance becomes overdue, we will discuss payment arrangements before additional sessions are scheduled.
