Fees & Services

Therapy Services Offered

I provide individual therapy for adults struggling with:

• Trauma and PTSD

• Anxiety, panic, and worry

• Childhood or relational trauma

• Religious trauma

• Negative self-talk and self-worth issues

Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), I help clients move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to living with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.

Therapy sessions are available in person in Temecula, CA, and online throughout California via secure telehealth.

Session Fees

• Initial Intake Session (75 minutes): $225

• Ongoing Therapy Sessions (50 minutes): $175

• Extended Sessions (90 minutes): $265
  (Often requested for EMDR reprocessing work.)

• Although I don’t offer a sliding scale, I may be able to offer a reduced fee in certain circumstances. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your needs.

Insurance

I am considered an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. The one exception is Cigna/Evernorth. However, I can provide a superbill upon request, which you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Please contact your insurer to verify your out-of-network benefits.

Good Faith Estimate (GFE)

In compliance with the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of therapy services. This estimate will be provided before your first session and is available upon request at any time.

Payment

Payment is due at the time of service and can be made by:

• Credit or debit card

• HSA/FSA card

• Venmo or Zelle (upon request)
