The 15-20 minute consultation gives us an opportunity to decide if we want to begin working together. During that time, we can briefly discuss your current challenges, answer any questions you may have about the process, and see if we’re the right fit for each other.

Hey, I get it, life happens, and sometimes things come up that are unavoidable.
If you need to cancel your session, I ask that you provide me with at least 24 hours’ notice. Any cancellation within 24 hours of our scheduled session is subject to being charged the full session fee.

My fee for a standard 50-minute individual therapy session is $185. I also offer extended sessions and 3-hour EMDR intensives for clients who may benefit from additional time.
I am not currently accepting new insurance clients. New clients are accepted on a private-pay basis.
If I am not contracted with your insurance plan and you have out-of-network mental health benefits, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Coverage and reimbursement vary by plan, so I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to learn about your specific out-of-network benefits.
HSA and FSA cards are also accepted.

This is a tricky one to answer, but it’s one that federal law requires me to do if you plan to pay privately or are using your out-of-network insurance benefits. The “No Surprises Act” requires that I provide in writing a “Good Faith Estimate” of a year’s worth of service prior to our first session.
This is not easy because, before working together, I have no idea how much therapy may be needed. So, it is possible that the Good Faith Estimate you receive will be higher than what it will actually cost since I have to estimate for a year. However, some people end up needing more frequent visits and want to book more than one session per week. And others drop down to biweekly sessions once things have stabilized.
As you can see, it is not an easy exercise. That said, your Good Faith Estimate will be calculated based on my hourly rate for one weekly session for 52 weeks.

I try to make the beginning of therapy feel as comfortable as possible. I don't expect to understand your entire life story in 50 minutes, and there's no pressure to tell me everything at once. We'll spend the first few sessions getting to know you, what brings you to therapy, what's happening in your life now, and the experiences that may have shaped the patterns you're struggling with. We can move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I'll probably jot down more notes in the beginning because I don't want you to have to tell me the same things over and over. As I get to know you, you'll see me doing that less.
Ongoing sessions are typically 50 minutes. We may have an overall direction for our work, but therapy also needs room for real life. Sometimes something happens between sessions that feels more important than what we had planned to work on—and that's okay. It's your time, and we'll decide together what feels most useful to focus on that day.
My style is relational, conversational, and collaborative. I'm warm, direct when it's helpful, and I tend to weave in humor when it feels appropriate. I don't follow a rigid agenda or assign homework just for the sake of assigning homework. Depending on what we're working on, I may introduce specific practices, skills, or exercises that support the work we're doing together.
What I will ask is that you become curious about yourself outside of our sessions—notice your patterns, pay attention to what comes up, and practice the things we're working on in therapy. That's where much of the change happens: when you leave the therapy room, return to your actual life, and begin practicing new ways of responding, relating, and showing up.
