Questions about what it’s like to work together?

What are your rates?

Sessions are $225 for 45 min sessions.

Do you see couples?

I do not currently see couples. I am happy to refer anyone to a couples therapist if needed.

Do you see clients in-person, online or over the phone?

At this time, I exclusively offer Phone or Online Video Therapy.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you will be charged for the full rate of the session.

What happens during a free consultation?

We will talk on the phone for about 15 minutes so together we can explore if we are a great fit for one another.

Don’t stress because even if we are not, I am going to help you get connected to someone whom is right for what you need.

I’m going to lead us, so all you have to do is come open and ready to talk. By the end of that call, we will know whether I am the right person for you or if somebody else might be a better fit.

From there, I will help you get connected to someone else or we will get you on my schedule for an even more intensive assessment that will give us exactly the direction we need to go to get you fast relief.

How long do people stay in therapy?

It is most common to schedule regular sessions weekly for the first 8 - 12 weeks and then move to ever other week sessions.

Depending on your specific needs, our work together can be short-term (6-12 weeks), for a specific issue, or longer-term (14+ weeks), to deal with more difficult situations.

What is the difference between talking to you are my best friend?

A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, counseling is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing my business.” Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion, and you’ve been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person so you aren’t reminded of this difficult time in your life.

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.
