Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
Due to the constraints insurance companies place on session limits, diagnoses, and treatment, I do not take insurance. Additionally, I believe in prioritizing confidentiality and therefore I do not support sharing Protected Health Information with third parties. However, I can provide you with a receipt of service (Superbill) to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. If cost is an issue, please reach out to me as I do offer some reduced-rate spots.
How much do you charge?
Individual Rates:
$125 / 50 minutes
$200 / 80 minutes
Relational Rates:
$150 / 50 minutes
$240 / 80 minutes (recommended)
Group Rates:
$35 / 90 minutes

What should I expect in a consultation?
A consultation is a 20-minute video call that allows us to see if we’d be a good fit. Expect to describe why you’re seeking therapy briefly, your previous experiences with therapy, and what challenges you currently need help working through. I will describe to you my ways of working, my theoretical orientation, and how I show up as a therapist. We will discuss rate, scheduling, etc.
How long should I expect to be in therapy?
Highly depends! I believe most people do not see noticeable changes until the six-month to one-year period. Often, the beginning weeks of therapy are a time where I am learning about you, and you’re learning to trust me.
Should I do individual therapy or couples therapy?
Again, depends. It is my general opinion that couples work is often the most effective. If you are being told/made to feel you are the “problem,” it makes sense that you might be seeking individual therapy. However, no issues exist in a vacuum. By being in a relationship, we agree to the joys and challenges of partnership. It is because of this that I believe couples work can offer that most profound level of change; it allows everyone involved to take responsibility for the role they play in the dynamic.
