Nope. You can reach out directly — no doctor's referral required.

Yes — secure video sessions are available for clients throughout California. Many of my clients prefer telehealth for the flexibility it offers.
-
I ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and no-shows may be charged a $150 fee.
I understand there are situations beyond your control. If something comes up, I'm willing to reschedule within the same week at no extra charge if an agreeable time is available.
Life happens — especially when you're managing a health condition or caring for family. Please just reach out as soon as you can, and we'll work it out together.
