Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
I accept some insurance plans. Please inquire for details and verification of benefits. However, if I am out of network, I can provide you with a receipt of service (Superbill) to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Note, not all insurance companies are willing to reimburse for mental health services.
How much do you charge?
Individual Rates:
$140 / 50 minutes
$224 / 80 minutes
Relational Rates:
$165 / 50 minutes
$264 / 80 minutes (recommended)

If cost is an issue, please reach out to me as I do offer some reduced-rate spots.
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.
