Frequently Asked Questions

The first step is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We will discuss what is bringing you in, what you are hoping for, and any questions about my approach, availability, fees, or scheduling.

There is no pressure to commit. The consultation simply gives us a chance to determine whether working together feels like a good fit and, if so, plan the next step.

In the first session, we will discuss what brings you in, the challenges you are currently experiencing, relevant background information, and what you hope to gain from therapy or coaching.

We will begin identifying your goals and building a foundation for our work together. You do not need to tell your entire story at once. The process will move at a pace that feels thoughtful, collaborative, and supportive.

Begin by scheduling a free 15-minute consultation through the In Tune Wellness consultation page. We will discuss what you are looking for, determine whether therapy or coaching is the appropriate service, and review current scheduling options.

It is completely normal to feel uncertain. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you have never worked with a therapist before or have had a difficult experience in the past.

A consultation can help you learn more without committing to ongoing sessions. If we begin working together, we will move at your pace and discuss any concerns you have about the process.

Therapy is a licensed mental health service that can include assessment, diagnosis, emotional healing, trauma work, and treatment for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, body image, grief, relationships, and burnout.

Coaching is a non-clinical, future-focused service centered on specific professional, leadership, career, or creative goals. Coaching may involve strategic decision-making, communication, accountability, career direction, leadership development, and sustainable professional growth.

Therapy is available to clients located in California. Coaching is available more broadly. During your consultation, we can discuss which service is appropriate for your needs.

Therapy may be the better fit when your concerns involve mental health symptoms, emotional distress, trauma, relationships, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, grief, identity, or patterns affecting multiple areas of your life.

Coaching may be appropriate when you are generally functioning well and want focused support with leadership, professional communication, career decisions, accountability, creative direction, or another clearly defined future-oriented goal.

If you are uncertain, we can discuss your needs during the consultation and determine which service is most appropriate.

Most therapy clients begin with weekly sessions. Meeting consistently helps us build momentum, establish trust, and work more effectively toward your goals.

Session frequency may change over time depending on your clinical needs, progress, schedule, creative projects, career demands, or personal circumstances. We will discuss a rhythm that feels both supportive and sustainable.

Standard therapy and coaching sessions are typically 50 minutes. Longer sessions may be available when clinically appropriate or when additional time would better support the work.

Yes. I offer secure virtual therapy to clients located throughout California. Online therapy can be especially useful for clients with busy schedules, frequent travel, demanding careers, caregiving responsibilities, or limited access to a specialized therapist in their local area.

Yes. I offer a limited number of in-person therapy sessions at my office in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. Availability is limited, so please mention your preference for in-person therapy during your consultation.

Coaching is available virtually to clients throughout the United States and internationally, subject to the laws and requirements that apply in the client’s location.

Coaching is not psychotherapy and does not include mental health diagnosis or treatment. It is designed around defined career, leadership, creative, or professional-development goals.

I specialize in therapy for musicians, artists, performers, creative professionals, managers, entertainment executives, touring professionals, and people working throughout the music and entertainment industries.

Clinical areas of focus include anxiety, ADHD, eating disorders and body image, burnout, depression, perfectionism, career transitions, new parenthood, grief, relationships, identity, self-worth, and the emotional demands of high-pressure careers.

I also provide executive, leadership, and career coaching for professionals seeking greater clarity, stronger boundaries, improved communication, and more sustainable ways of working.

Yes. A central focus of my practice is supporting musicians, artists, managers, executives, touring professionals, creative leaders, and other people working behind the scenes in music and entertainment.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than a decade working throughout the music and entertainment industry in artist management, record label marketing, live events, and touring. This firsthand industry experience informs my understanding of performance pressure, public visibility, irregular schedules, emotional labor, blurred boundaries, burnout, career uncertainty, and the difficulty of switching off.

My approach is collaborative, integrative, trauma-informed, and tailored to the individual. Depending on your goals and needs, I may draw from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), the Trauma Resiliency Model, relational therapy, mindfulness, parts work, and nervous system regulation strategies.

We may combine practical tools for managing current challenges with deeper exploration of the patterns, relationships, and experiences contributing to them.

Yes. I provide eating disorder and body image therapy for teens and adults in California. I have experience working in Partial Hospitalization Program and Intensive Outpatient Program levels of eating disorder care.

My work is informed by Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating principles and may include collaboration with dietitians, physicians, psychiatrists, and other members of a client’s treatment team when appropriate.

Yes. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, emotional overwhelm, and difficulty sustaining boundaries in demanding personal or professional environments.

Treatment is individualized and may combine practical tools with deeper work around patterns, relationships, identity, and nervous system responses. You can learn more about anxiety therapy, ADHD therapy, burnout support, and perfectionism therapy.

Yes. I support people navigating job loss, career pivots, leadership changes, creative identity shifts, burnout, and uncertainty about what comes next. Depending on your needs, this work may take place through therapy or through focused career and leadership coaching.

Yes. I work with executives, managers, founders, creative leaders, and entertainment professionals who want support with leadership pressure, communication, boundaries, burnout, career decisions, and more sustainable ways of working.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance companies directly.

If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual plan, deductible, allowed amount, and coverage requirements.

Before beginning therapy, consider asking your insurer whether your plan includes out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits, whether you have a deductible, and what percentage of the allowed amount may be reimbursed.

Coaching is generally not a reimbursable health insurance service because it is not psychotherapy or medical treatment. Coaching clients are responsible for the full session fee.

Fees are discussed during the complimentary consultation so you have a clear understanding of the cost before deciding whether to move forward. The consultation also gives us an opportunity to determine whether therapy or coaching is the appropriate service for your needs.

In some circumstances, reduced-fee arrangements or third-party grant resources may be available. Availability and eligibility vary, and we can discuss possible options during the consultation.

Many clients are able to use HSA or FSA funds for psychotherapy. Eligibility can vary by plan, so please confirm coverage with your account administrator. Coaching may not qualify as an eligible medical expense.

I ask for at least 24 hours' notice when cancelling or rescheduling a session. Late cancellations and missed sessions may be charged the full session fee, as outlined in the service agreement completed before we begin working together.

Yes. Therapy is confidential, with limited exceptions required by law. These exceptions and the ways your information is protected are reviewed in the informed-consent paperwork and can be discussed before or during your first session.

Coaching also includes privacy expectations described in the coaching agreement, but coaching is not psychotherapy and may be governed by different legal and professional standards.

There is no single timeline that fits everyone. The length of therapy depends on your goals, the concerns bringing you in, the level of support you need, and how the work develops over time. We will revisit your goals and progress together so the process remains intentional and useful.
