Do I Take Insurance?
I do not accept insurance at this time.
If you would still like to work with your insurance, your insurance may provide some reimbursement.To help, I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
What Is My Cancellation Policy?
To cancel a scheduled Therapy session, a minimum of 24 hours in advance of your session is required. If prior and timely notification is not given, you will be charged the full session fee for the missed session.
Does what we talk about in therapy remain confidential?
It can be concerning feeling like things you say or do in therapy could "get out." So I want you to know that unless you are in danger or someone else is, your story is confidential and your time in the session is protected.
I highly respect your privacy and value your trust.
You can rest assured that you can talk about anything without fear of that information getting out.
If you have specific questions about how confidentiality works, you can ask during your during a free phone consultation or anytime during our work together.
How long will therapy take?
You might be asking about how long therapy will take because you are currently struggling and want relief fast.
If this is true for you, I want you to know that on average, my new clients start seeing small amounts of growth after the first few sessions.
By that point, they they feel a little more calm and hopeful that healing is possible
The total duration of therapy varies from client to client. Some of my clients find 8-16 weeks to be enough to gain insight into their relationship challenges. While other clients feel more supported by longer term therapy.
What can I expect during the first session?
Overall, you can think of the first session as a free-flowing conversation through which we start getting to know each other. I’ll invite you to share more about yourself and we can also talk about what’s worked or not worked for your mental health in the past.
Some questions that I like to ask during a first session include:
What’s present for you in your life right now?
Have you gone to therapy before? How did that go?
What goals would you like to reach by coming to therapy?
You can ask me questions as well. You might be curious about about why I'm a therapist or how I've helped other clients like you.
The most important part of a first session is to notice how you feel during and after the session. If you feel supported, seen, and at-ease with me, we can discuss if you’d like to meet again.
How can I get started?
I'm here to talk during a free phone consultation where you can tell me what's up and we can decide together how I can help.

A Good Faith Estimate Of Expected Charges
Under the law, as a health care provider, I will give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
This estimate is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and explains how much your Therapy services will cost. Here are a few key things you should know about your Good Faith Estimate:
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
You may ensure that I give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 3 business days before your Therapy services or item. You can also ask me for a Good Faith Estimate prior to scheduling.
If you receive a bill that is $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
It's recommended that you save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
For further information, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
The included "Good Faith Estimate" language is a modification of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services model notice.
