Frequently Asked Questions

  • My fee reflects the physical and energetic exchange necessary for me to sustain this work and to remain resourced. My rates vary depending on the service you’re looking for and is prorated for longer sessions. Please contact me directly to inquire about fees.

  • I am committed to making psychotherapy accessible to all. I have a limited number of slots for those who need sliding scale. Please contact me directly to inquire about those fees.

  • While I am not on any insurance panels at this time, I can provide copies of monthly invoices for you to submit to your insurance carriers for out-of-network reimbursement. Please check with your health insurance provider to learn about your coverage and reimbursements rates. You may also want to ask about your deductible before you are able to receive a reimbursement.

    Please be advised that working with insurance providers can lead to a non-clinical third party to dictate the duration and type of treatment you need in order for reimbursement. In most cases, insurance providers also require a mental health diagnosis for reimbursement which we would be required to submit and may have consequence as it stays on your medical records. Working without insurance ensures greater privacy and provides you with more decision over your own treatment.

  • I offer both. I have an office located in Berkeley. For Telehealth, I use Simple Practice’s HIPAA compliant conferencing platform for virtual sessions.

  • I offer therapy in both English and Mandarin.

  • Sessions are typically 1-2x per week. I encourage most clients to keep a weekly cadence, especially at the start of therapy as we’re getting to know each other.
    That said, there are exceptions. We can talk about your particular situation and needs during our first session.

  • You’ve already taken a monumental first step simply by landing here. If you find yourself resonating with what I’ve shared here and are interested in further exploring what it would be like to work together, I welcome you to reach out to book a session.
