Frequently Asked Questions
-
Choosing to begin therapy can feel like a difficult decision, but it can also be an empowering first step toward change. I encourage you to reach out for a brief consultation to see if therapy feels right for you and whether I might be the right therapist for you. If it seems like we’re a good fit, we can schedule an initial appointment. If I think another therapist may be better suited to your needs, I’ll gladly provide referrals.

There is no predetermined length of time for therapy. Some people begin to feel relief after just a few sessions, while continued exploration may lead to deeper growth and change. Some people come to therapy to work through a specific issue, while others value having a consistent space for reflection and ongoing support.
Sessions are 50 minutes long, and we typically begin by meeting once a week. Regular, consistent sessions tend to support the therapeutic process most effectively. I also offer more frequent sessions for clients who need additional support or want to do deeper work.

My fee is $200 per 50-minute individual therapy session.
I reserve a limited number of reduced-fee slots for clients in need. If I’m unable to accommodate your needs, I’m happy to provide referrals for lower-fee therapy.

I am not an in-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about your out-of-network benefits and whether services provided by an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist are eligible for reimbursement.

I have a firm 48-hour cancellation policy. Please provide at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged the full session fee.

I offer online therapy via telehealth to make sessions convenient and accessible. Sessions take place by live video and are much like in-person therapy, but from the privacy and comfort of your own space. I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to protect your privacy and confidentiality.
