  • $175.00 (50 minute individual session)

    $200.00 (50 minute couples session)

  • Prior to your first session, I’ll ask you to input a credit card to keep on file in my secure payment system. I accept all major credit cards. At the end of each session, your card will be charged.

  • I accept Concern First Responder EAP for individual therapy only, which allows for up to two sets of sessions. Please note that after these two sets, I will not accept any further sessions through Concern. Ongoing therapy individual therapy will be my private pay rate of $175 per session. Please note I do not accept Concern EAP for couples work. If you have out-of-network benefits through your insurance, you may be able to submit a superbill for reimbursement after the Concern sessions end.

    I do not bill insurance directly, and I am considered an out-of-network provider. My session rate is $175 per hour. If you have out-of-network benefits, you will need to contact your insurance company to find out how to submit a superbill for possible reimbursement. I will provide a superbill at the end of each month for you to submit to your insurance. All payments are due at the time of service.

    The first step is setting up a free 15-minute consult with me to see if we are a good fit.

  • I am currently see older teens, adults and couples.

  • Yes - Please remember to cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance of your next scheduled appointment. You will be responsible for the entire fee if you provide less than 24 hours notice for a cancelation. This is necessary because the time we both have is valuable and your spot is held exclusively for you. If you’re late to a session, you will lose some of your session time. That said, I do understand that life happens and emergencies will occur. I will always try to accommodate you as best as I can in an emergency.

  • I provide both in person and telehealth sessions. I find both equally effective.

  • At this time I do not offer a sliding scale fee.

  • For licensed mental health professionals, confidentiality is protected by state laws and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). That being said, there are certain situations or circumstances that are not protected by confidentiality laws. One of the most common scenarios is when a client is threating to hurt himself/herself or others, in which case a therapist must notify the person in danger or notify someone who can keep the client safe. A therapist may also be required to break client confidentiality if they believe a child, elder or disabled person is being abused. As a mandated reporter, they have a legal duty to report their suspicions to authorities.

  • Every person is unique, as are their needs in therapy. We will work together to decide what feels right for you and how I can best help you get the most out of our time together, whether that be weekly or every other week, 6 weeks, or 6 months.

Good Faith Estimate Notice

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health care will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for any healthcare-related services, including psychotherapy services. 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
