How do you conduct sessions?

I am strictly virtual and most sessions (unless I am traveling) will be conducted from my home. 100% private with no distractions other than a couple of cats. Hopefully you will be in a space where you feel comfortable sharing and can feel secure and private, but other than those caveats, no other requirements.

Do you do couples work?

No, couples work is, IMO, very much a speciality and takes special training. I work with individuals as they navigate relationships, but will occasionally have a partner join a session or two if the individual I’m working with has a specific issue they would like to communicate with a third party present.

Do you take my insurance?

No, but I don’t take anyone’s insurance, so nothing personal. Insurance companies make it really difficult for us - it’s causing other therapists to turn away from therapy. I like it here and want to stay, so I opted out.

How much will this cost me?

My session rate is $150. I use Thrizer to assist clients in understanding and accessing their out-of-network benefits, most folks are able to get some percentage of reimbursement and it’s often better than you think. I am happy to send you a Thrizer link so that you can check for yourself, regardless of whether or not you decide to work with me.

Is there a strict timeline of how often we would meet?

In general, no. But if there is a harder period, stronger emotional state, life disruption, etc. I’ll suggest more frequent sessions. Except for these circumstances, you and I will decide on a cadence that is most appropriate for your needs.

What happens when I feel better?

When you feel that you are in a place that doesn’t require ongoing therapy, then we discuss and make a plan, knowing that I will be available for you to return on a consistent basis, or if you just need a quick tune-up.
