Incorporating Faith in Therapy

Though I have experience working with clients from different backgrounds, my experience offers a unique understanding for those within the Christian community. I am happy to have faith to be a part of our work together. However, please note that my training is as a Marriage and Family Therapist, not as a pastor or theologian. So when it comes to incorporating faith into our sessions, I will follow your lead. This means that I come with no agenda. We can talk more about how you would, or would not, like faith to be a part of our sessions when we meet for the first time!

In-Person & Online Video Sessions

Online therapy is a convenient option for accommodating work and family schedules, long commutes, or those outside the Bay Area.

I use a HIPPA compliant video platform, Clocktree, for online sessions. This keeps our conversations secure and confidential. You’re welcome to use video sessions as our primary way of meeting or on an as-needed basis.

Licensing laws require that I can only work with clients who reside in California.

Fees

My standard session fee is $150.00 for a 50-minute individual session. If we decide that you need a longer session, the fee will be prorated.

Insurance

I am not contracted with insurance companies and do not bill them. I can provide receipts that you submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement. Check with your insurance provider to see if you qualify.

Cancellations

I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. All sessions will need to be canceled 48 hours in advance or you will be charged the full session fee.

Session Frequency

Clients who commit to weekly sessions achieve their goals faster than clients who come in irregularly. I want you to have the best outcome, so my preference is to meet weekly at first. As you progress towards your goals, we can adjust the frequency to match your need.

Length of Treatment

The length of time we’ll spend working together to achieve your goals depends on factors specific to you. In our first session, we’ll come up with a plan together that will give you an idea of how long to expect. You should know that I aim to help you graduate from therapy.

Finishing Up

If we are both doing our parts, graduation will come! Along the way, we’ll check in on progress, see what areas we can improve, celebrate victories and achieve goals. All these will be signs that you’re ready to graduate from this step in your journey. Since life has many ups and downs, therapy can also be a valuable tool after graduation if you want to review or build on your skills.
