FAQS

My office address is 28924 Old Town Front Street in Temecula, CA. It’s about a half mile south of Old Town Temecula.

Yes, I offer in-person sessions at my office location in Temecula. Many clients find that they enjoy the in-person connection, especially for EMDR work. However, EMDR can also be done via online therapy as well, and is shown to be just as effective.

Yes, I am currently in-network with:

-Cigna

-Tricare

-HealthNet

For other insurance companies not listed above: If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse you. I can provide you with a “superbill” that outlines services rendered. It’s best to call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card to learn the details about your specific plan. 

Pricing varies depending on session length. There is no price difference for EMDR therapy and regular talk therapy.

Initial intake session (75 min): $200

Follow-up session (55 min): $150

Extended session (90 min): $245 (often used for EMDR therapy)

Online therapy is easy and secure. I use Simple Practice, a HIPAA-compliant platform, to host our video sessions. You’ll receive a secure link prior to our session. We’ll meet at your scheduled time, from the comfort of your own space.

Before our first session you’ll complete intake forms so we can spend our time actually getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s brought you to therapy, what you’ve tried before, and what you’re hoping for. There’s no pressure to share everything at once… we’ll go at your pace.

The length of therapy varies for each person. For those working through deep trauma or attachment patterns, we often meet longer term to ensure lasting, meaningful change. If you’re coming in for a specific, acute concern, we may only meet for a few sessions to provide immediate support and tools. We’ll work at a pace that fits your needs and goals, and we’ll regularly reassess to see what feels right for your journey.

A Good Faith Estimate is a clear, written outline of the expected costs for your care. It’s required when you’re paying out-of-pocket or not using insurance. It helps you understand your financial commitment before starting therapy.

If this is an emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.  For mental health crisis calls you may also contact the Suicide Hotline at 988. 

For non-emergency matters you may leave a message by phone or email and I will get back to you as soon as possible (usually within 48 hrs)

Please remember to cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance either by call or text. You will be charged a $50 fee if the cancellation is less than 24 hours or if you no-show your session. I will always try to work with you, as I understand life is unpredictable. If I have availability for you later in the week, I will waive the fee.
