"...possibilities and opportunities..."

As human beings, we are all deserving of a fulfilling life, one that is open and flexible to the abundant possibilities and opportunities that are available to us.

"...connect together..."

Relationships motivate us to connect together and become involved with one another. Life is enriched through the emotional ties we have that bond us to each other and to ourselves. We are not meant to exist in isolation.

FAQs

Q: How long is therapy?

A: Professional therapeutic relationships are similar to other relationships, where it takes time to establish rapport with people and to earn their trust. Time spent in this alliance varies from person-to-person, depending on where they want to focus their attention. Usually, the Consumer directs the process which allows for a more profound personal experience.

Q: What is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)?

A: A LMFT is:

a graduate with a Master's degree through an accredited university

experienced in having earned the minimum requirement of 3000 hours documented supervised practice as an AMFT (a BBS registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, formally MFTI intern, can only practice under the supervision of a qualified, licensed, mental health supervisor)

in completion of a two stage examination process

issued a license number by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS)

able to provide direct services to the public in the state of California, as a licensed clinician

Please note that a LMFT can only ethically and legally provide services as a Psychotherapist performing Psychotherapy specific to the state where they are licensed.  This includes telehealth  (UPDATE).

To be considered a "specialist" or having "expertise" in a particular area, that person must have, at least, additional practical, educational, and/or actual practice experience (possibly having earned an additional certificate, degree or license) that is recognized to meet the professional standards of that specialty area. For example, a Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) Practitioner.

Q: What is the fee? Do you take insurance?

A: I offer a flat rate per 50-minute session. During our initial telephone interview, we will agree upon a fee. Should you require a reduced rate, please let me know. For those with a financial need, I offer limited appointments as a professional member through the Open Path Collective. Due to the limited amount of financial need appointments, if at that time you cannot be accommodated, you will be offered referrals to alternative resources of support.

As a private practitioner, I offer a monthly statement and/or a "super bill," as I do not bill insurance companies directly and I encourage you to discuss "out-of-network" coverage with your insurance carrier.
