A consultation is a great chance for us to get to know one another and see if we are good working match. You can come prepare with questions, or we can speak more organically about what you’re hoping to accomplish and looking for in a therapist. I will likely have questions for you too.
If you want tips on what to ask, you can find some suggestions in my blog.

Individual therapy is generally 45 minutes.
There is no formula for sessions. I don’t operate through the lens of creating and sticking to rigid goals, as the process of therapy is slow and non-linear. However, if you require structure, I encourage you to mention that to me and I can create more of that in our sessions.
Relationship therapy is 55 minutes.This process is a little more structured. The first session is all of us together and this is where I gain insight on your history within the relationship. The next few sessions will be just me and one of you so I can get a solid idea of family history and dynamics. Then we all join back together for sessions and begin with talking about attachment styles. Occasionally, I will meet individually with each person for a process check in. I do this to ensure everyone is on the same page and can speak candidly. Please note: I do not keep secrets from partners, and encourage everyone to be honest and candid in session so we can work through the really hard things.

I require a consultation, no charge, to ensure we are a good fit. If we both decide to move forward, we will discuss availability and you will get access to my client portal.

I do. When someone is able to pay full fee, they are able to make it so I can offer a limited number of sliding scale spots to those who need it. Feel free to ask about my sliding scale offer.
-
I do not charge late cancellations, and this includes for the day of for individual sessions. The only time I charge a cancellation fee is if you do not inform me that you cannot make it. A no show/no call fee is $100.
Late/same day cancellation of Relationship therapy sessions will be charged $175/session.

I am currently paneled with Cigna and Carelon insurances. This is subject to change. In the ever changing world and with the rise of AI, insurance is becoming more rigid and invasive than ever. As a therapist that believes in the power of process and absolute privacy, I am happy to work with you to make your are affordable and accessible. If cost is something that is a barrier, please reach out and we can discuss options like superbills, or sliding scale for those who may meet the criteria.
If you plan to use insurance, billing will be done through Headway. IN which case, you will receive a link to upload your insurance information and create an account on this platform, but our sessions will still occur on Simple Practice.
-
I use Simple Practice to host all sessions. It is a HIPPA compliant platform.
-
I do not use AI as any part of my practice. I will never record sessions, or use AI for documentation. My clients’ safety and privacy is most important to me.
