This practice is currently in network with a number of insurances for individual sessions only, including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross California, Carelon, Curative, Optum, and Point 32. Please keep in mind that specific plans might have different names than the parent companies. In order to provide an accurate insurance verification, I will collect your insurance information and provide an estimated cost per session.

I reserve a limited number of sliding-scale spots. Please reach out if this is something you’re seeking.

I require at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Sessions cancelled with less notice will be subject to a cancellation fee of $75.

Under the No Surprises Act, clients who are uninsured or not using insurance for services have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs before care begins. I’ll provide this in writing prior to your first session, and you’re welcome to request one at any time.
