My office is located in Walnut Creek, California. I provide in person and virtual (Video) sessions.

All clients must be a California resident.

A 50-minute individual therapy session is $225. A 50-minute couples therapy session is $250. A 90-minute Group Therapy session is $90. Introductory 15-minute phone call = always free

My fees reflect the specialized training, expertise, and experience I bring to each session, ensuring high-quality and effective care tailored to your needs.

I made the decision to work outside of insurance so I could show up for you the way this work actually requires. Healing from sex addiction or betrayal trauma isn't linear — it doesn't fit neatly into the session limits or diagnostic boxes that insurance companies often require.

I believe you deserve care that's built around you, not around a billing code. Working privately also means greater confidentiality — your diagnosis stays out of your health records in ways that insurance claims simply don't allow.

I can provide a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement. You can use this FORM to call your insurance provider and learn more about your specific insurance plan.

The initial sessions are the assessment phase of treatment, where I start to understand you, the specific concerns bringing you to therapy, and work with you to develop a treatment plan. Research has shown that weekly sessions are far more effective, especially in the beginning of treatment. After the first 4-6 weeks, we can discuss treatment progress, and a session frequency that helps you reach your therapy goals.

That is fine with me. I believe that you are the expert of your own life. I don’t need you to adopt the label of “addict” in order for us to work together. I am here to help you reach a goal of healthy sexuality, in whatever way you want to define that for yourself. You are likely on this website because you recognize that something isn’t working - and either you are hurting, someone you love is hurting, or both. I am here to help you find real, lasting change in your life and to find the best version of yourself.

No, I would never force you to do anything as part of your recovery. I respect your right to make decisions about your own life and to do what feels right for you. However, I do think good therapy is about gently nudging you outside of your comfort zone. Change doesn’t come without a little discomfort. I find the community support that 12-step meetings provide to be a game changer for my clients. If hearing “God” feels too distressing, let’s talk about it.

The length of therapy depends on each person, and their specific goals of treatment. While some clients experience significant relief within 5-6 sessions, many find that a therapeutic journey of 3-12 months allows for deeper self-discovery, a better understanding of past experiences and current patterns, and the space to integrate new skills and tools into their daily life for meaningful, long-term change.

The Groups I currently facilitate are “closed” groups, meaning the same participants are expected to participate in each weekly group meeting. Starting a Group should be considered a commitment to yourself and to your fellow group members. Group members make a minimum 3 month commitment when joining a Group.

Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.  

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. 

 For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
