Frequently Asked Questions

Initial intake session: $210

Individual therapy session (50 min): $175

I accept electronic payments in the form of credit cards , debit cards or HSA/FSA cards.

I am currently only offering therapy via online video sessions or by phone.

My practice is considered an out-of-network provider with all insurance companies. This means that I don't bill insurance and the full amount is due at the time of each session. 

Insurance companies will sometimes reimburse you for some or all of the cost of your session. I will be happy to provide you with a statement you can use to request reimbursement. Please check your specific coverage regarding out-of-network therapy.

There are a variety of reasons why a person may choose to see an out-of-network provider.  Three examples include:

1. Individualized treatment
Insurance companies often control how often clients can be seen, limit the number of sessions, and require therapists to prove that treatment is necessary. They may also require that certain types of therapy be implemented before they cover the cost. As an out-of-network provider, we can work together to decide which type of therapy is best for you and create a personalized treatment plan without insurance restrictions.

2. Quicker access to services.
Out-of-network providers often have shorter waitlists since they don’t accept insurance, allowing you to be seen faster and with greater flexibility.

3. Enhanced privacy
When visiting an in-network provider with insurance, you need a mental health diagnosis for coverage. Insurance companies may also ask therapists for treatment plans and progress notes. However, by choosing an out-of-network provider like me, you can avoid having your mental health diagnosis and treatment details included in your permanent health record.

Life experiences that overwhelm your ability to cope can leave deep emotional scars, impacting your relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. I base my approach on gaining a deep understanding of how these experiences influence your life and the way you behave.

Together we will work to:

1. Identify mental patterns and behaviors that hold you back

2. Learn skills to manage unwanted emotions

3. Heal from past and present pain

4. Learn ways to manage the change

If you decide to schedule a free 20 minute consultation, we will connect on a video call where you can share what brings you to therapy and a bit about yourself. You'll also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. Afterward, we’ll talk about the next steps if we decide we’re a good fit.

I return emails, calls, and texts at my earliest convenience, typically Monday-Friday. If you are having a counseling emergency, call 911 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.
