Scope of Services

I offer both clinical and non-clinical services:

Psychotherapy is offered to individuals, couples, & families located in California under my associate licensure, supervised by Dr. Sean Tobin, PsyD #33387. These services are provided through The Catholic Therapy Center. I hold dual registration as an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, #18799, & Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, #153353 in California.

Inner Healing Guidance, Workshops, and Courses are non-clinical offerings for adults seeking embodied, faith-informed support outside of psychotherapy. These services are available globally to individuals located outside California and do not constitute treatment of a mental health diagnoses.

Confidentiality & Privacy

While I respect and maintain the privacy of all my clients and participants, only psychotherapy services are governed by HIPAA and clinical confidentiality laws. Guidance sessions and other non-clinical services are not protected by HIPAA, but will still be held in appropriate ethical confidentiality.

Please refrain from sharing confidential information through contact forms or email. If you are in crisis, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Disclaimer on Guidance Services

Inner healing guidance, group classes, workshops, and other non-clinical offerings are not a replacement for professional therapy, diagnosis, or treatment of mental health conditions. Participation in these services does not establish a therapist-client relationship.

If you are experiencing significant mental health concerns, I recommend seeking support from another licensed mental health professional in your state if you are outside California.

My session fees start at $175 per 50 minute session. I offer a limited number of reduced-fee spots to make my offerings more accessible while maintaining a sustainable practice. Please reach out to me to discuss eligibility and availability. Payments must be made in full at or after the time of service.

While I am not contracted with any insurance companies, I will provide you with a billing statement upon request that you can submit to your insurance company. Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully.

Cancellation Policy

Appointments must be canceled or rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Late cancellations, late rescheduling, or missed sessions may be charged the full session fee unless due to an emergency.

Secure telehealth sessions are available to therapy and coaching clients through my video office platform. Clients are responsible for ensuring they have a secure, private location for sessions. Telehealth has inherent risks, including potential technology disruptions.
