-
I provide a free 15-minute phone consultation, which is a chance for us to briefly discuss your concerns and goals. It allows you to ask questions, explore my approach, and see if we're a good fit for your therapeutic needs. This initial conversation sets the foundation for a comfortable and productive therapeutic relationship.
Our first 1-2 sessions will be focused on getting comfortable with therapy, exploring your current concerns and personal history in depth to gain a sense of where we will focus therapy.
Following those initial sessions, we will dive in and meet for weekly sessions.

My rate it $250 per session.
I have a limited number of sliding scale spots. Please feel free to reach out to inquire about this and see if you could be eligible based on your income and my availability.

I am an out of network provider, which means that I do not directly participate with any insurance plans. This means clients are responsible for paying my fee in full at the time of their session.
However, many individuals have out of network benefits through their insurances and can be reimbursed for psychotherapy services by as much as 40-70%, depending on the plan.
I will provide you with a receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Here are some questions that might be helpful to ask your insurance company to get a sense of your benefits and reimbursements:
Does my plan offer any out-of-network benefits for mental health?
Do I have a deductible? If yes, how much of it has already been met?
Are there any limitations on the number of sessions my plan covers for mental health?
How much will I get reimbursed per visit when I see an out-of-network mental health provider?
Do I need any type of prior approval or referral in order to get reimbursed?
-
A scheduled appointment means that the session time is reserved for you. If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours notice. If the cancellation occurs within 24 hours, you will be responsible for the full session fee.
