Transparent information about fees, insurance, and what to expect when you start.
Session Fees

Insurance
I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. I provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance carrier for potential reimbursement. Please contact your insurance provider for details about your out-of-network mental health benefits.
Cancellation Policy
I require 24 hours' notice for cancellations. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice are charged at the full session rate. This policy exists to protect time that has been held specifically for you and your partner.
Getting Started
The first step is a free 30-minute phone consultation. You describe what's going on; I ask a few questions; we determine whether working together makes sense. From there we begin with joint sessions — you, your partner, and me. Sessions can take place in my office in San Leandro, via video with both of you at the same location, or with each of you joining from a separate screen. Individual sessions with each partner are not a standard part of my process, though I'm happy to arrange them if requested. I expect both partners to feel genuinely understood and to have a clear picture of the relational dynamic within the first two sessions.
Common Questions About Starting
I typically have availability within one to two weeks. The free consultation call can usually happen within a few days of your inquiry. If you have a scheduling constraint or a particular urgency, please mention that when you contact me.
Yes, via secure video platform for California residents. You can join together from a shared location, or each of you can join from a separate screen — whichever works for your circumstances. Many couples use a combination of in-person and video sessions over the course of the work.
RLT moves quickly relative to most approaches. The core relational dynamic typically becomes clear within two to three sessions, and most couples feel meaningful movement within three to six. Once the direction is well defined, couples have real choices about how to continue — weekly sessions for ongoing support, less frequent sessions as a checkpoint, or stepping back when they have the skills they need and returning as needed. Duration ranges from around eight sessions to multiple years. After the assessment phase I'll give you a clear picture of what I see and what I think the work involves.
