Most Common Questions

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. Here you’ll find answers to common questions to help you feel more informed and at ease.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, and parents of children with ADHD who are struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, and emotional overwhelm. Many of the individuals I work with are bright, thoughtful, and hardworking, yet often struggle internally with exhaustion, self-doubt, focus difficulties, fear of failure, performance anxiety, persistent stress, or difficulty sustaining motivation.

  • My approach is warm, collaborative, direct, and neurodivergent affirming. I provide evidence-based therapy that draws from CBT, EMDR, attachment, mindfulness, solution-focused, and strengths-based approaches. Our work is tailored to your individual needs, strengths, experiences, and goals.
  • I believe therapy should help you better understand how you think, feel, process emotions, connect with others, and navigate the world, rather than expecting you to fit into a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • Together, we may work on practical strategies for emotional regulation, focus, organization, communication, and daily functioning, while also exploring the deeper patterns contributing to anxiety, depression, burnout, or feeling stuck.
  • For adults with ADHD, this often means understanding why certain things feel harder than they seem for others, recognizing the impact of years of criticism or self-blame, and developing strategies that work with your brain rather than constantly against it.
  • My goal is to help you reduce distress, better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, sustainable changes in your life. I offer a space where you can be yourself, feel understood, and work toward the changes that matter most to you.
  • If you’re wondering whether we’d be a good fit, I invite you to schedule a free 20 minute consultation so we can talk about what you’re looking for and how I might help.

You can schedule a complinetary 20-minute consultation to learn more about the process and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.

Yes. I provide secure telehealth therapy for clients throughout California, allowing you to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space.

Absolutely. It is completely normal to want more information before taking the next step. This section is here to answer common questions, and the consultation is a low pressure way to learn more and explore whether therapy feels like the right fit. 

  • I do not accept insurance and am not in-network with any insurance providers. All services are private pay.
  • However, if your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for  reimbursement. I can provide a superbill, which is a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
  • How do I check my out-of-network benefits? I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly using the member services number on the back of your insurance card. Here are a few questions you may want to ask:
    1. Does my plan include out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health services?

    2. What percentage or amount is reimbursed for an individual psychotherapy session (CPT code 90834)?

    3. Do I have an out-of-network deductible, and must I meet it before receiving reimbursement?

    4. Is there a limit on the number of therapy sessions covered each year

    5. How do I submit a superbill for reimbursement?

  • Please keep in mind that reimbursement amounts and eligibility vary by insurance plan, and reimbursement is not guaranteed.
  •  

My fees reflect the highly specialized nature of adolescent and adult ADHD care and my extensive clinical training and experience. For specific fee information, please feel free to contact me directly. I am happy to discuss.

  • I may be a good fit if you are looking for depth-oriented, culturally responsive therapy and are ready to meet consistently. Many of my clients are high-achieving adults, graduate students, professionals, parents, or teens navigating ADHD, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, identity, family/cultural expectations, or the pressure to hold everything together.
  • My practice is best suited for clients who are seeking ongoing therapy rather than short-term coaching, crisis support, or in-network insurance-based therapy. I currently offer weekday appointments and do not have weekend or evening appointments after 6pm available.
  • If you are unsure whether my practice is the right fit, you are welcome to reach out for a complimentary 20-minute consultation so we can talk through what you are looking for and whether I may be able to support you.

Additional Questions

Answers to additional questions about therapy, fees, and getting started.

I accept credit and debit cards at the time of service. HSA and FSA cards may also be used when applicable.

  • The length of therapy varies depending on each person’s goals, needs, and progress.
  • Some individuals benefit from short-term work focused on specific skills or challenges, while others find long-term therapy more helpful for deeper exploration and sustained growth. I typically discuss this with clients early on and reassess as treatment progresses, so that the work continues to feel relevant and purposeful.
  • In general, therapy takes place once or twice per week, and sessions are 45 minutes.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I will ask about what is bringing you in, your history, and what you are hoping to get out of therapy. It is also a chance for you to ask questions and get a feel for whether working together feels like a good fit. There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with right away.

Yes. Everything discussed in therapy is confidential, with a few exceptions required by law. These include situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect of a minor or vulnerable adult, or when a court orders the release of records. I will review these limits of confidentiality with you at the start of our work together so you feel fully informed.

  • If you are experiencing a mental health emergency or are in crisis, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. You may also call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room for immediate assistance.
  • Santa Clara County residents may also call 1-800-704-0900 for local behavioral health crisis support.
  • My Professional Disclaimer includes national and local support resources for urgent concerns.
  • I am not able to provide crisis intervention services, and my practice is not set up for urgent or same-day contact. If you are unsure whether what you are experiencing constitutes a crisis, please err on the side of caution and reach out to one of the resources above.
  • If you are an existing client and have a non-urgent concern between sessions, please call or email me, and I will respond as soon as I am able.
  • Telehealth therapy offers a number of meaningful advantages, particularly for individuals with ADHD.
  • Attending sessions from your own environment eliminates the time and logistical demands of commuting, which can be a significant barrier for people who already find it challenging to manage schedules and transitions. Many of my clients find that the flexibility of telehealth actually supports more consistent attendance, which is one of the most important factors in therapeutic progress.
  • Telehealth also allows us to work together regardless of where you are in California, making it possible to access specialized ADHD care without being limited by geography. Sessions take place through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to ensure your privacy and confidentiality at all times.
  • I periodically offer workshops and psychoeducational programs focused on ADHD, emotional regulation, and related topics. These are designed to provide accessible, evidence-informed information in a supportive group setting.
  • If you are interested in learning about upcoming workshops or group offerings, please contact me directly.
