FAQ

What is a licensed clinical social worker?

To become a LCSW in California, a person must have received their Master’s in social work and have accumulated 3,200 hours of supervised experience in the field (over at least two years). They must also pass their state’s exam to receive their clinical licensure.


Should I go to therapy?

Therapy is something that I truly believe we can all benefit from. Here’s a few reasons to consider scheduling an appointment.

  • Having difficulty processing something in your life
  • Going through a major life transition
  • Feeling easily frustrated or overwhelmed than usual, and it’s affecting your mood, relationships, or other areas of your life.
  • Experiencing trauma or processing past trauma
  • Feeling stuck 
  • Struggling with the demand to be productive 
  • Experiencing conflict related to your identity
  • Have a history of a mental health condition 
  • In Need of a confidential person to talk to 
  • Feeling curious 

What can I expect during my first session?

During the first session, we’ll explore:

  •  What brought you to therapy
  •  Your current symptoms or challenges
  • Your history, including your childhood, education, relationships (family, romantic, friends), your current living situation, and your career.
  •  Areas you would like to focus on for growth.
  •  We’ll also agree on the length of treatment and discuss confidentiality. 

What are your rates?

Sessions are $200 for 50 minutes. I occasionally offer sliding scale appointments when available.

Do you accept insurance?

I currently do not accept insurance. Instead, I provide a “superbill” at the end of each month that you can submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement. I encourage you to contact your insurance company and ask them about the specifics of their mental health and telehealth coverage.


Where do your sessions take place?

I am functioning 100% via telehealth and serving individuals throughout California and Wisconsin.
