Psychotherapy
My rates are consistent with that of other clinical psychotherapists in the Palo Alto area. I have a sliding scale rate for those who demonstrate a financial need. Please contact me to discuss my hourly rate and your particular situation, I am happy to work with you.
I accept Medicare Part B. Please call me to discuss your Medicare benefits.
I am an Out-of-Network mental health provider for most PPO insurance plans. If you have a PPO, then please call your insurance company to determine if they will reimburse you for Out-of-Network mental health services. If so, you are responsible for paying my full fee after each session and submitting the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement (minus your copay or deductible). I encourage you to contact your insurance provider to inquire about reimbursement and your specific benefits. Please remember that you are ultimately responsible for full payment of the therapy fee and I cannot guarantee that your insurance company will reimburse you.
A note on saving for mental health care: you may want to consider using a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Inquire with your employer if any of these tax-deferred accounts are available to you. Additionally, some Retirement Health Savings (RHS) accounts allow a certain amount that you can use for health care tax-free. I accept HSA and FSA credit/debit cards as a form of payment, therefore, therapy is paid using tax-deferred dollars. Also, if you are a mental health provider, my services can be considered tax deductible.

Cancellation & No Show Policy
Cancelling an appointment delays our work together; however, you may cancel or reschedule an appointment at anytime, for any reason, as long as you provide me with 24-hours notice. If you cancel an appointment with less than 24-hours notice, or fail to show up, you will be charged the full fee for the session. Please remember that I am rarely able to fill a cancelled session unless given at least 24-hours notice.

I accept cash, checks, all major credit cards, and PayPal.
