Due to precautions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, I am only providing Telehealth (online, video chat therapy) at this time.
Nope! A few minutes before our scheduled appointment you will receive an email with our session video link. All you need is a stable internet connection and a device (phone, tablet, computer) with a mic and camera.

I operate as an out-of-network provider and do not directly accept insurance. However, I understand that some individuals may have Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) that can be used to cover therapy fees..
If you have out-of-network coverage on your insurance plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. I can provide you with a billing statement, commonly known as a "superbill," which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement as an out-of-network provider.
Please note that all fees are due upfront, regardless of whether your insurance approves or denies your claim. It is your responsibility to verify your plan's coverage and understand their reimbursement process. You will be solely responsible for submitting the superbill for reimbursement. If you require a superbill, please let me know in advance so that I can prepare the necessary information.
It's important to be aware that using insurance for therapy requires the diagnosis of a mental illness, as it follows the insurance company's billing requirements. I understand that some individuals prefer not to involve insurance due to privacy concerns. If you have any questions or concerns about this matter, we can discuss it together to ensure you can make an informed decision that aligns with your needs and preferences.
I understand that financial considerations can be a significant factor in seeking therapy. I offer a limited number of sliding scale slots in my practice; however, these slots tend to fill up quickly.
The process of finding a therapist can sometimes feel overwhelming, but it's important to find a provider who can create a safe and supportive space, meet your unique needs, and approach your treatment in a way that feels beneficial to you.
A consultation call serves as an opportunity for both of us to determine if we would be a good fit for working together. During this call, we can discuss the basics of what you're looking to address, share more about my approach as a clinician, and explore practical details such as scheduling and fees.
