Rates & Insurance
Pay-It-Forward Fee Structure
My full fee for individual therapy is $250 per 50-minute session. This rate is aligned with my clinical experience, advanced training in trauma and psychedelic therapy, and the deep presence I offer in our work together.
If you have out-of-network (OON) benefits for therapy, your benefits may cover 20-80% of the fee for therapy. If you're not sure whether you have out-of-network (OON) benefits, I'm happy to look into it for you!
My full fee for couples is $300 per session. And the same out-of-network details may apply for your couple’s therapy, which I’m happy to call and find out for you 🙂
I also believe in creating accessibility for those who would otherwise be excluded from this kind of care. In addition to accepting a small number of in-network insurance plans (Alameda Alliance, Aetna, Quest Behavioral Health, Enthea and TaraMind) and offering lower-fee group options, I have created a Pay-It-Forward Tier.
🌱 What is Pay-It-Forward Pricing?
If you are in a position of significant economic privilege—such as being in the top 1–2% income bracket (earning $500k+/year, inheriting wealth, or experiencing financial abundance in ways that feel secure and resourced)—I invite you to invest in this work at $600+ per session.
Your choice to pay at this tier:
Sustains scholarship spaces and lower-fee access for those in financial hardship
Supports community healing through subsidized group therapy offerings
Allows me to do pro bono or low-fee work with queer, BIPOC, and trauma-impacted clients navigating systemic barriers
I trust you to discern where you fall on the financial spectrum. If you feel called to pay it forward, you are helping keep this practice rooted in both healing and justice.

🌸 Other Options
If the full fee feels out of reach, and you’re not eligible for insurance reimbursement, I invite you to reach out about group therapy, sliding scale, or upcoming retreat offerings.
Also, if at any point in our work together, your financial situation changes, I will adjust my fee to ensure the continuity of your care. Depending on the size of the needed adjustment, we may continue indefinitely at a lower fee. Or, in the case of a drastic adjustment, we would continue at that fee for 1-3 months while I support you with transitioning to therapy that is more suitable to your new financial needs.
And for those unable to afford any of these rates, I'm thrilled to offer super accessible ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) groups!
Low Fee Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Groups
I'm always recruiting for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) groups, with a new cohort beginning about every three months. The fee is currently $70 per one-hour group preparation or integration session, and $140 per three-hour dosing session. The groups are very intimate, with no more than four participants per cohort. We start with a series of three one-hour preparation sessions, two three-hour dosing sessions and three one-hour integration sessions, and then group members can choose to continue with anywhere from 4-6 additional group dosing sessions in the next cohorts, ongoing dosing sessions 1:1 with me, 1:1 integration with me, or referrals for accessible 1:1 ongoing integration with another therapist. The soul and aim of this group is all about keeping psychedelic-assisted therapy accessible, and I’m in love with providing this.
You would also need to set up a medical evaluation appointment with Journey Clinical (the medical prescriber I partner with for all my ketamine-assisted psychotherapy offerings) and pay a separate fee of $395 to them for the medical evaluation and shipping of your prescription. Unfortunately, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is such an emergent service that most insurance plans will not cover the cost of your medical evaluation, though this is slowly starting to change.
Even with the already-very-low fee per session that I am offering for KAP groups, an even lower fee can be negotiated in instances of need.
Payment
I accept any major credit card entered into my Stripe system as payment. My Stripe system will automatically charge your card the night after a completed therapy session, so you never have to worry about making a payment.
Cancellation Policy
This therapy practice has a 48-hour cancellation policy. This means that if you reach out to cancel or reschedule an appointment with fewer than 48 hours’ notice, you will likely be charged my full fee ($250) for the spot that was held for you, barring emergencies or truly exceptional circumstances.
For Alameda Alliance Clients: If you are using your Alameda Alliance benefits to see me for therapy, my 48-hour cancellation policy is exactly the same except that there is no cancellation fee. Rather there is a limit of three late cancellations or no shows per 12-month period. On the occasion of the fourth late cancellation or no show, we would likely have a conversation about referrals and whether therapy with me is the best fit for you.
No Surprises Act
As of January 1st, 2022, a legislative package called the No Surprises Act was passed which affects the medical and mental health worlds. It was designed to prevent people from receiving medical treatments mistakenly believing the treatments were covered by their insurance only to find out later that they were not when they receive a large, surprising bill in the mail. As a result of the No Surprises Act, you are entitled to receive a document called a Good Faith Estimate from me at the time that you become my client, and to request an additional Good Faith Estimate at any other time that we are working together.
Since there are no hidden fees in therapy, and the therapy relationship is based on transparency, your Good Faith Estimate will not contain any information that is different from what you will already know about therapy costs at the time that we decide to work together. (I.e., It will be very clear at the outset whether you will be using insurance out of network benefits or not, how much therapy costs, and how payment will work.) And your Good Faith Estimate is not intended to be a recommendation or a prediction of how long you will be in therapy. You are always free to terminate your therapy or to switch to a different practitioner at any time.
Additionally, at any point in our work together, based on what is happening in your life and what you are needing, you may increase to two sessions per week, or decrease to biweekly sessions. Also, if you experience financial difficulties at any time in our work together, we would talk about adjusting your fee within the range of what I can accommodate. Therefore, the estimate provided on your Good Faith Estimate may not end up being the real amount that you ultimately invest in therapy.
Should you decide to become my client, we would discuss all of this and ensure you feel very comfortable with all of the above information and with anything else you may like or need to know about therapy, payment, and what to expect.
