+ Do you see clients in-person?

I am no longer seeing clients in person at this time. All sessions are provided via a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform.

+ What is telehealth?

Telehealth means meeting virtually by secure video. You'll need a reliable internet connection and a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera. I use a HIPAA-compliant platform for sessions, so you can meet with me from wherever you feel most comfortable.

+ What are your fees?

My standard fee is $200 for a 55-minute session. I also offer three-hour intensives for $700. I reserve a limited number of appointments at reduced rates, and you can read more about those options below.

+ Do you offer sliding scale?

I do. I reserve a limited number of appointments at reduced rates for both 55-minute sessions and three-hour intensives. Availability varies, so you're welcome to ask about current openings.

55-minute sessions: sliding from $175 down to $150

3-hour intensives: sliding from $600 down to $500

+ Do you accept insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. I recommend checking with your insurance company before beginning therapy to understand your benefits.

+ What is a three-hour intensive?

An intensive gives us more uninterrupted time to focus on something that needs more room than a typical session allows. They can be useful when you want to work more deeply on a particular issue or when you simply don't want to spend weeks circling around something. We'll talk beforehand about whether an intensive makes sense for you.

+ What do I need for my initial appointment?

Once your appointment is scheduled, I'll send you an invitation to my secure client portal where you'll complete your intake paperwork. Please complete the paperwork before our first appointment so I have a chance to review it beforehand.

+ How do I make my next appointment?

Most clients begin with weekly or biweekly sessions. We'll talk together about what frequency makes sense for you and your goals. If you decide to continue, we'll find a recurring appointment time that works for both of us.

+ How often will I need to go to therapy? And for how long?

How long we work together depends on what brings you in, what you're hoping to change, and what we discover along the way. Some people work with me for a few months, while others stay for years. We'll talk about when it feels like the work is coming to an end rather than working toward an arbitrary timeline.

+ Is therapy confidential?

Yes. What you share with me is private, with a few exceptions required by law. We will review those exceptions in your informed consent before we begin.

I also carry confidentiality into the community. If I see you somewhere outside of therapy, I won't approach you or acknowledge you first. This isn't because I don't want to say hello; I don't want to put you in a position where you have to explain how you know me. If you say hello first, I'll happily say hello back.

+ Are there things you don't treat?

I want to be upfront about where I'm a good fit and where I'm not. I don't provide couples or family therapy, and I currently work with adults 18 and older. I also don't specialize in legal or court-related evaluations, including custody evaluations or providing expert testimony.
