Are you accepting new clients?

Yes, I currently have openings for both in-person and virtual sessions. My latest appointment slot starts at 5:30 pm. If you have specific scheduling needs, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate you. I’m also happy to provide a note for your employer if needed.

What can I expect from therapy?

Our first session is a chance for us to get acquainted, and for me to understand your concerns. I will ask about your history to better understand how these issues have impacted you. At the end of this session, we’ll discuss whether we’re a good fit for working together. If I believe you would be better served by another therapist, I will gladly offer referrals and additional resources. Even if I’m not the right fit, I will help you find someone who is.

After our first session, therapy will begin with me inviting you to share whatever is on your mind. I believe that all thoughts, feelings, and experiences are important, and there is no topic too big or small. I listen deeply and intuitively, attuning to what feels most relevant in the moment, allowing the work to unfold naturally at your pace.

How long are sessions and how frequently do we meet?

Sessions are 50 minutes long. To build trust and connection, I recommend weekly sessions at the start. However, I understand that therapy is an investment, and I’m happy to work with you based on your needs. Many clients find that weekly or bi-weekly sessions work best. Consistency is key for getting the most out of therapy.

What is your cancellation policy?

Because your therapy time is reserved just for you, I require 24 hours’ notice for cancellations to avoid being charged the full session fee. I understand that emergencies and illness happen, and I am flexible in those cases.

What are your rates? Do you accept insurance?

My rate is $150 per 50-minute session. I offer a sliding scale option for clients who need financial flexibility, but wish to attend therapy regularly. Please don’t hesitate to discuss this with me if needed.

I am an out-of-network provider, meaning I do not bill insurance directly. However, I can provide you with a superbill (a receipt with a diagnosis and service code) to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Most PPO plans offer out-of-network coverage for therapy. To avoid any surprises, I recommend contacting your insurance company ahead of time to verify your benefits and reimbursement options.

What questions should I ask my insurance company before starting therapy?

• Do I have out-of-network coverage for mental health services? Is telehealth covered, or does it have to be in-person? (You may need my NPI number: 1487034229).

• What is my yearly deductible? Has it been met? If not, how much is left to meet it?

• What reimbursement will I receive for CPT codes 90834 and 90847? (CPT codes describe the type of therapy service provided).

• How do I submit a superbill? Is there a portal, or do I need to mail or fax it?

• Is there a time limit for submitting a superbill for reimbursement?

What is a good faith estimate?

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
