Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
I am a full cash pay therapist who does not accept any insurance. This allows me to keep your care truly private, flexible, and tailored to your needs instead of an insurance company’s rules. Insurance often requires a mental health diagnosis, limits the number or type of sessions, and can request access to your records, which can compromise both privacy and clinical choice. By working outside of insurance, we’re able to collaborate on your goals without pressure to fit your experience into rigid categories or time frames, and we can decide together what pace, frequency, and approach are most supportive for you.
I can provide you with a receipt of service (Superbill) to submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network 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)
Group Rates:

If cost is an issue, please reach out to me as I do offer some reduced-rate spots.
Why should I choose you when there are many cheaper options?
When you choose me as your provider, you are choosing to support a locally owned and operated small business. In contrast, a growing number of therapy practices across the country are now owned or heavily financed by private equity groups, whose primary obligation is often to investors and profit margins. This can influence decisions around session length, caseload size, staffing levels, and the types of services offered—factors that can affect the quality of care. As an independently owned practice, I have the freedom to prioritize long-term relationships, individualized treatment, and ethical decision-making over short-term financial targets, allowing therapy to stay focused on what truly matters: meaningful, sustainable healing and growth for you.
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 when 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.
