While I do not accept insurance, the majority of my clients do receive reimbursement from their insurance companies by submitting claims and identifying me as an out-of-network provider. See “how do I get reimbursed for therapy sessions?” for more information.
-
I am currently seeing clients virtually through secure video platforms with limited in-person Walk and Talk availability. I do plan on offering in-office sessions in the future, so please let me know if that is something you would like to be kept in the loop about.
My business hours are Monday-Thursday from 11 AM-7 PM.
-
Fees vary depending on the type and length of service. Current rates are available upon request.
Please feel free to inquire about sliding scale availability! Limited sliding scale spots available.
Superbills are also available to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
-
Most sessions last 50 minutes, though this is something we can decide on collaboratively. Some folks benefit from longer sessions, especially when engaging in EMDR or couples work.
-
That depends on your goals and what you’d like to work through. Some clients come for short-term support around specific challenges, while others choose longer-term therapy to deepen self-awareness and healing. Even after our work is done, my door will be open to you should you wish to resume again in the future. We’ll collaborate to find what works best for you.
-
Don’t let this stop you from reaching out! Many states and countries have reciprocity laws enabling us to meet for a limited number of sessions while you are away. People who travel need support too— we will figure out how to coordinate your care together.

I have had the great honor of supporting many individuals and couples through some of their darkest times. They have shared with me that my warmth, empathy, deep listening, and valuable insights have stood out to them and made all the difference. Folks also tell me that they value my sense of humor and how “real” I am. I don’t shy away from hard topics, and welcome anything you have to share. Conversations about sex, politics, religion, death, and all things that feel taboo to discuss in day-to-day life are welcome. I am proud to say that the people I serve, more often than not, get results!
-
No person is the same, and as a result, no therapeutic approach should be either. Your treatment plan will be catered specifically to you. My approach combines an exploration of your past with tools to navigate the present.
For the therapy nerds: I am fully trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, and I incorporate Existential, Relational, Psychodynamic, Attachment-focused, and Mindfulness approaches in my work. For couples, I utilize an Emotionally Focused (EFT) approach.

Simply, I will send you a superbill (receipt with a diagnostic code on it— receiving reimbursement from insurance requires you to have a diagnosis on file) for you to submit to your insurance provider. To determine how much you will be reimbursed/if your plan accepts superbills:
Please call your insurance company and check with one of their representatives about your individual insurance plan to see about their reimbursement policies. In many cases, reimbursement depends on the diagnosis code as well as the billing or CPT code. For insurance inquiries, the CPT codes we use most often are:
90791 - Diagnostic Evaluation
90834 - Psychotherapy, 45-50 minutes
90837 - Psychotherapy, 60 minutes and above
All fees are payable at the time of the evaluation. Upon request, I will provide a super bill with all the pertinent information (CPT codes, diagnosis code, Tax ID number, NPI number, etc.) needed for you to submit a claim. I will not directly bill your insurance company. You are responsible for all billing and collection of reimbursements from your insurance company. Keep in mind, a diagnosis is necessary to receive reimbursement from your insurance company.
Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. When you call your insurance company, check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
Do I have mental health benefits?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
Do I have a separate deductible for out of network mental health support?
How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network licensed marriage and family therapist provider?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
