Getting Started

Choosing to get started with mental health treatment can be a big step, and in some cases can be quite anxiety-provoking. I want to make the process as straightforward as possible. Please call 650-204-1116 and leave a message requesting a callback if you are interested in becoming a patient. We will talk briefly (around 15 minutes) to determine whether my practice is likely to be a good fit for your needs. If so, we will schedule an initial consultation.

In the meantime, please review my notice of privacy practices. 

In addition, please note that I am an out-of-network provider. That means patients pay me directly and then can apply for reimbursement from their insurance company using a document called a "superbill" that I can provide. If you plan to apply for reimbursement through your insurance company, please contact them directly to ask about what costs your plan will cover. Unfortunately I will not be able to provide an estimate of how much (if anything) your insurance company will cover because that is dictated by their policies and procedures. Please see the FAQ page  for more details.

I offer telehealth and in-person visits. In-person visits occur at 825 San Antonio Road in Palo Alto, Suite #105:
