Hi! I’m Em.
LICENSED MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPIST

Many of my clients come to me seeking change or understanding (or both!). I believe that we as people are capable of infinite variations of ourselves; some we choose, and many we don’t. My goal as your therapist is to collaborate with you to find your best self in this moment and find ways to better align and connect with your values.
Whether I am your 50th therapist or your first, I cannot wait to meet who you are today and see where you go next!

Both!
I am available to meet in person and am located in Tustin, California less than a half-mile from the 5 and the 55.
If you are interested in virtual therapy, as I am licensed in CA, you will need to be within the state of California at the time of our session. (It is not necessary to be a resident. College students welcome!)
I utilize a HIPAA-compliant platform to conduct our sessions.

I use an app called Ivy Pay, a payment app created specifically for therapists that is secure, HIPAA-compliant, and does not require an account.
Ivy Pay can be connected to any credit card or FSA card.

I am not in-network with insurance. However, I am able to provide a super bill for services which you are able to submit to your insurance company on your own for reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits.
It is your responsibility to reach out to your insurance company and explore your out-of-network benefits and if you are eligible for reimbursement. I cannot guarantee reimbursement of services.
Here are some helpful questions to ask your insurance provider:
• Does my plan include out-of-network coverage for mental health?
• Is there an annual deductible for out-of-network mental health benefits? If so, how much of my deductible have I met?
• Is there a limit on the number of sessions my plan will cover per year? If yes, How many?
• Is there a limit on out-of-pocket expenses per year?
• What is my co-insurance percentage for mental health services?
• Does my plan require pre-authorization for psychotherapy?
• Does my plan require a referral for psychotherapy?

I reserve part of my caseload for individuals needing a reduced rate.
This can be discussed during our initial consultation call.
