Frequently Asked Questions:
What kinds of clients are you accepting right now?
At the time of my writing this, I have openings for individual adult clients only. I will update my website when this changes.
My preference is to hold space for under-served populations that I have extensive experience working with or with whom I share life-experience: people of color, queer people, and polyamorists/nonmonogamists/relationship anarchists/etc., BDSM/Kink practitioners, trans/gender-queer/nonbinary/agender/gender non-conforming people, and sex workers.
What hours do you keep?
I see clients on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and my hours range from 12pm-11pm.
Are you offering remote sessions during the Covid-19 pandemic?
Yes. In fact, during the pandemic, all of my sessions are happening remotely, by video conferencing. I will not be seeing clients in person until the danger posed by the pandemic has abated and it is safe to meet in person again. I will update this website when that happens.
Is therapy by video actually helpful?
While my clients and I would always prefer to meet in person, we have found that we still do powerful, meaningful, and deeply supportive work together when we meet by video.
Are you able to meet with people who are not located in or near Oakland, California?
I am happy to work with people who are located anywhere in the state of California, however far that may be from my office location.
Are you able to meet with people who are not located in the state of California?
Unfortunately, no. My LMFT license does not permit me to work with people who live outside of the state of California.
Do you have any lower fee slots available?
At the time of my writing this, all of my lower fee slots are taken. I will update my website when this changes.
Are you available to provide clinical supervision (for therapists who are not currently licensed)?
No. At present, I am not available to provide clinical supervision.
Are you available to provide clinical consultation (for therapists who are licensed)?
Depending on the need, I may be able to provide short-term clinical consultation on topics I have particular experience with and knowledge of.
Can I see you for appointments that are less frequent than once a week (every other week, once a month, as needed, etc.)?
No. I see clients on a weekly basis. Sometimes it is possible to have sessions more frequently than once a week. I do not see clients less frequently than once a week.
Can I just pop in for one session to get help with a specific situation?
If you are a therapist looking for clinical consultation, that may be possible. If you are an individual client looking for support for yourself, I will not be a good fit for your needs, because my practice is oriented to longer term work.
I cannot afford your fee. Can my insurance pay for therapy?
While I am not in-network with any insurance providers, many of my clients receive some reimbursement from their insurance companies to help cover the cost of therapy. If your insurance provider reimburses for therapy with an out-of-network provider, it is likely that they will reimburse you for sessions with me. Contact your insurance provider to find out.
