Client Information
Office Location
My practice office is located at 115 West Arrellaga Street, in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara and easily accessible from Ventura County to North Santa Barbara County. The office is wheelchair accessible and ample parking is available on the street.
Most of my work, since the COVID crisis, continues to be online or phone.
Fees and Payment
My standard fee is $250 per session. I can accept payment by check, Zelle, PayPal or Venmo.
As of April 2021, I no longer accept insurance. I can provide you with a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance company.
I require 24 hours notice of cancellation, or you may be billed for the missed appointment.
