frequently asked questions

  • Submit a contact inquiry. From there, we’ll set up a free 15-minute phone consultation where we will discuss if I will be a good fit for you based on your treatment goals and current symptoms.

  • I do not participate in any insurance panels. At your request, I can provide you with a superbill to be submitted to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. If you are interested in learning about your out-of-network benefits, call your insurance directly and ask them:

    • Do I have out-of-network benefits for counseling/mental health services?

    • What is my out-of-network deductible?

    • What is the out-of-network reimbursement rate for a 90834 CPT code?

    • How do I submit a claim for reimbursement?

    Alternatively, you can consider using a company such as Mentaya which will help you receive out-of-network insurance reimbursement. I accept Debit/Credit/HSA cards and Zelle.

    In an effort to make high-quality, evidence based therapy more accessible, I provide a limited number of reduced fee spots for clients specifically referred to me through certain professional organizations.

  • All of my sessions are conducted virtually via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform (Zoom). This provides added convenience and flexibility when clinically indicated. Current research shows that there is no significant difference in treatment outcomes when comparing in-person to teletherapy.

  • The first session is a 1.5 hour evaluation where I will gather information on your history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. I want to ensure that we have adequate time to get to know each other and engage in thorough assessment. Once the intake is complete, you are provided with feedback on the results of the assessment and we discuss my recommendations for your tailored treatment plan.

    Following this intake, we will have a commitment period (usually 4 sessions) to make sure we, and our therapy, are a good fit.

  • I work across the lifespan starting with teenagers (13+). I typically do not work with severe substance-use concerns, severe eating disorders, legally-mandated therapy, or cases involving custody concerns. I am also unable to provide expert testimony for legal purposes or treatment specifically for workers comp. If you are unsure if my services would be right for you, please contact me to set up a 15-minute consultation call.

  • Please notify me 48 hours in advance if you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment. A missed appointment or failure to provide notification within this 48 hour time period will result in being fully charged for the scheduled session.

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.

    In my practice, Good Faith Estimates are provided upon scheduling an intake appointment and upon request.

    For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services or call or call 800-985-3059
