I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a science-backed approach that helps you notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Together, we'll identify what truly matters to you and take concrete steps toward a richer, more purposeful life — even when challenges are still present.

Along with ACT, I practice cultural humility, honoring your intersecting identities and how they shape your mental-health experience.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the 2021 No Surprises Act (effective 1/1/2022), health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services, including psychotherapy. 

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services.

• Make sure your health care providers gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service. You can also ask for your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

• Make sure to save a copy or take a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or send a text message to 415-439-0518.
