Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer in-person or online therapy?

  • I currently offer both in-person and telehealth therapy sessions over video for those in the State of California. Learn more about my services.

How much does it cost?

  • My fee is $200 for a 50-minute session, but I also offer a number of openings at a sliding scale for those with limited resources.

Do you take insurance?

  • Yes, I am currently an in-network provider for Aetna. For those with different insurance with out-of-network coverage, I can provide a superbill to submit to insurance for reimbursement if eligible.

How long should I expect to be in therapy?

  • While this will usually depend on the person and the particular issues they are working on, research has shown that most people see positive changes after about 6 months of therapy. So while many may see helpful changes much sooner, I would encourage anyone just starting out to commit to at least 6 months of treatment.

What is a Psy.D.?

  • A Psy.D. is a doctorate in clinical psychology. Clinical psychologists have training in multiple modalities of therapy, research, cognitive assessment, and mental health diagnosis. Training is typically 4-5 years of graduate courses, 1 year of a formal internship and 1-2 years of postdoctoral training. I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology at Rosemead School of Psychology at Biola University. Learn more about my training and experience.
