Question 1

Accepted Answer

My office is at 1555 W Sunset Blvd, Suite C, Los Angeles, CA 90026.

The closest intersection is Sunset Blvd and Echo Park Ave. The entrance to my office is to the left of Gogosha Optique and Hey Hey tea shop.

Question 2

Do you have parking?

Accepted Answer

There is metered parking on Sunset and non-metered parking on nearby side streets. There are also metered lots south of Sunset between Echo Park Ave and Lemoyne Street.

Question 3

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

I am not in-network with any insurance companies. Please see my Rates & Insurance page for more information

Question 4

Why don’t you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

Insurance companies restrict how we work in therapy by limiting the number of sessions we can have, covering some mental health diagnoses but not others, or changing the types of benefits they provide.

Therapists are at their best when they are free to do what actually works for their patients instead of what an insurance company thinks.

Question 5

How often do I come to therapy?

Accepted Answer

I work with people on at least a weekly basis. Some people prefer to come in more than once a week. When appointments happen less than once a week, therapy is not as effective because I don’t get to hear from you frequently enough to be able to truly help you. Instead, we are often playing catch up. You may end up spending much of the session updating me but never really get into the emotional material that you are coming to therapy to address.

Question 6

How long are therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

Individual sessions are 50 minutes and couples and friendship/dyad sessions are typically 60 minutes.

Question 7

How long will it take?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, I don’t have a straightforward answer. I provide long term therapy without an expiration date. Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them and the length of time therapy can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on many factors such as your comfort level, attachment style, commitment to therapy, honesty with yourself and with me, unpredictable life events and changes, and the factors that are driving you to seek therapy in the first place.
