Frequently Asked Questions

I accept both insurance and private pay clients.

Insurance will typically cover mental health counseling.  Most plans require clients to pay a copay at each visit. Co-pays vary depending on individual plans.  Your benefits may be subject to a deductible. If you have questions about your insurance benefits, I am happy to assist with contacting your insurance company.  It can be helpful for you to contact your insurance company to learn the details of your plan.

Please contact me for information on private pay rates.

It takes an incredible amount of courage to reach out for help when you need support. I hope to make things as comfortable and relaxing for you as possible. During the first session, we will discuss your hopes for counseling and explore your goals. Sessions are 55 minutes long. There will be some basic paperwork to complete before the first session. The paperwork can either be emailed to you or will be available at the first session, whatever is most convenient for you. It can be helpful to write down any questions you have to bring to the first session.

Most people start by coming to therapy once a week, although some choose to come twice a month. Again, this is completely up to you and we will discuss frequency at your first appointment.

The therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist is the heart of the healing process. To help determine if I might be the right therapist for you. I offer free 15-minute consultation by phone or in-person. I want your experience with me to be a positive one.
