Frequently Asked Questions

I do not accept insurance, but I can provide you with superbills to submit to your insurance company if your plan covers out-of-network providers. Please note that out-of-network mental health services are not always covered, and you will need to check with your insurance to find out how much they will reimburse you.

By working outside of insurance, I find I am able to offer more personalized care, flexibility, and confidentiality. Many insurance companies require a diagnosis for reimbursement and can restrict the number of sessions or the type of counseling you receive.

Individual Therapy (50-75 minute sessions): $250- $375

​Couples Therapy (50-75 minute sessions): $300 - $450

Appointments are typically scheduled on a weekly basis and are usually 50 minutes long. Longer, more frequent, or fewer sessions are an option if we determine that to be appropriate.

If you must cancel or reschedule your appointment, I ask that you provide at least 24-hour notice or your appointment will be charged in full. This is necessary because a time commitment is held exclusively for you. Also, you are responsible for coming to your session on time; if you are late, your appointment will still end on time.  

In therapy, I won't tell you what to do, but I will help you find and make decisions for yourself. Therapy is a joint effort, and progress can vary depending on a number of factors. You will have personal discussions that may uncover uncomfortable emotions like anger, guilt, or sadness, but the benefits of therapy can far outweigh any discomfort encountered In the process. You may experience less emotional distress, improved relationships, and specific problem solving. I can't guarantee these benefits, of course, but it is my desire to help you attain your personal goals.

Therapy is tailored to each individual, and the number of sessions you attend depends on your personal needs. In our first session, we identify goals, then evaluate progress throughout treatment. Once you reach your goals, we'll discuss your decision to continue or end treatment. Some wish to continue to explore other issues and further personal growth. Others choose to reduce the frequency of sessions or end therapy altogether. You can decide what works for you.

Growth and change are difficult for everyone, and you won’t be a new person overnight. You may see some immediate changes in your response to daily stressors and then eventually see long-term growth. For example, you may notice an improvement in mood, start feeling more connected to family and friends, or notice you’re not stressed by an event that might have overwhelmed you in the past. Evaluating your progress will be an ongoing part of therapy.

Yes, but only my professional profiles. Confidentiality is an important aspect of the therapeutic relationship and could be compromised by activity on social networking sites. I welcome you to follow my professional sites but request that you do not follow my personal ones. For continuity of confidentiality, I will not follow yours either.
