My Practice

Reaching out for help or seeking a therapist’s guidance can be a confusing, even daunting experience. Knowing what you are getting into and what to expect can alleviate a lot of that stress. Most of my patients have similar questions about the therapeutic process and what it all entails. Below are some of the questions and concerns that I often encounter:

What is your availability, and how much flexibility do you have when scheduling patients?

I understand that life continues at full-speed regardless of your mental health situation or the personal challenges you face in work and relationships. It can be difficult to find time in the day for yourself, much less for a therapist. However, I offer a range of hours during the week that can accommodate your needs.

What are your fees and payment policies?

My practice is not in-network with any insurance plans. Payment is private pay at the time of service. If you have out-of-network benefits, I’m happy to provide an itemized statement or superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Many patients use out-of-network benefits, as well as HSA or FSA funds when applicable. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss my current fee.

When is payment due?

Payment is due at the time of the session. Once treatment has been established, payment may also be arranged on a monthly basis.

Where is your practice?

2491 Washington Street, at the corner of Washington and Fillmore streets in San Francisco. I am available to meet in person and also by telephone and video conferencing.

What kind of services do you provide?

I offer a range of services, including individual psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and psychiatric consultation, including medication evaluation and treatment. I can help you manage depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss as well as various relationship issues. You may also find value in having someone to collaborate with, someone to bounce ideas off of as I help you navigate a variety of life’s challenges. I am also fully bilingual in English and Spanish.
