After completing the contact form, I will reach out to you about setting up an appointment. If you prefer to first briefly discuss what you hope to get out of therapy or discuss any questions you have, we can first schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation.

In almost every situation therapy is 100% confidential and anything that you tell me will stay in our sessions, unless you’ve given me explicit permission to talk to someone else (such as a family member or psychiatrist).

For your own safety, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, If you’re having thoughts of hurting yourself or someone else, and can’t commit to safety, I may need to work with a family member, close friend, or doctor to get you the support that you need.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means you are responsible for the full payment at the time of each session. However, your insurance provider may reimburse or partially reimburse you for your sessions, often after your deductible has been met for the year. If requested, I will provide you with a superbill (receipt) in order for you to submit a claim for reimbursement. Before your first appointment, please contact your insurance provider directly to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

Some helpful questions are:

-Do I have a deductible? If so, how much has been met so far?

-How much will be covered per session?

-Do I need authorization?

-Is there a limit to the number of sessions per year?

-How do I submit receipts for reimbursement?

I work with adults, adolescents, and couples from all walks of life who are wanting to improve their self-esteem and quality of life, better manage stress, and overall feel healthier, happier, and more grounded. Many of my clients come to me for help managing a specific issue, whereas others come to me with a general goal of feeling healthier, happier, less stressed or overwhelmed, and more productive.

Additionally, I also work with adults who are diagnosed with and/or suspect they are struggling with a mental health diagnosis.

I have experience treating a range of diagnoses and concerns, including Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and other trauma-related disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Schizophrenia and other psychotic spectrum disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and personality disorders. I’m also happy to discuss referrals to a psychiatrist for medication evaluation or management, if requested.

Individual and couples sessions are 50 minutes.

I accept credit card, cash, Venmo, and check. No matter how you wish to pay, a valid credit card on file is required. Payments are made after each session.

Due to COVID-19, at this time my practice is fully virtual. I use a HIPAA-compliant platform that was designed for psychotherapy called doxy.me to conduct sessions. It is important that you are able to take sessions in a confidential setting. If seeking reimbursement from your insurance provider, please contact your provider to ensure telehealth sessions are covered.

Clients are charged the full session fee for any session missed or not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance. Please note, these fees cannot be reimbursed by insurance. If you are able to reschedule within the same week at a convenient time for both of us, your fee may be waived.
