Frequently Asked Questions
-
I am an in-network provider with Lyra EAP.
At this time, I am not in-network with any other insurance companies. If you have a different insurance plan that offers out-of-network benefits, I can provide you with a monthly statement (often called a "superbill") for you to submit for potential reimbursement.
Please contact your insurance provider directly to understand your specific out-of-network benefits and reimbursement rates.

My fee is $250 for a 50-minute session. Many clients prefer to pay for therapy themselves to ensure complete privacy and freedom from a mental health diagnosis on their record. I believe it's important for you to have all the information you need to make an informed decision, so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I'm happy to walk you through the process.
-
I accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and payments from Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). Payment is collected at the time of your session.
Before we begin, we'll review a clear breakdown of all costs and billing procedures so there are no surprises.

Scheduling is simple! You can reach out via the contact page.

A 15 to 30-minute consultation is a chance for us to connect, discuss your needs and goals, and answer any questions you may have about therapy. This is also an opportunity for me to learn more about what brings you to therapy and to help you decide if we are the right fit. It's a no-obligation way to learn more about how I can help you find the support and guidance you deserve.
-
I understand that life happens. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, I ask that you notify us at least 48 hours in advance to avoid a late cancellation fee. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before your scheduled session may incur a charge for the full session. I appreciate your understanding and consideration, as this policy helps to accommodate other clients in need of services.

During your first session, I will typically ask you about your background, current concerns, and goals for therapy. It’s an opportunity to get to know each other and establish a comfortable, trusting relationship. I will also explain the therapeutic process and discuss any confidentiality policies. Your first session is the beginning of your healing journey, and there’s no need to feel rushed—take your time to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.
-
Telehealth means we can have our therapy sessions from anywhere you feel comfortable. Using a secure video platform, you get the same support as an in-person session without the commute.
This gives you the flexibility to fit therapy into your life, whether you're at home or on the go. All sessions are conducted on a HIPAA-compliant platform, so your privacy and confidentiality are always protected.
-
If you are running late, please let me know as soon as you can. I will do my best to hold your session, but it may be shortened to ensure that I can start on time for my next client. If you miss your session entirely, the cancellation policy will apply.
-
Feeling nervous about starting therapy is completely normal. It’s a big step, and many people feel unsure or apprehensive at first.
My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. We'll go at your pace, and you are always welcome to share any concerns or questions you have. My role is to guide you through this process and help you feel as comfortable as possible.
-
Therapy can be a great option if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or are struggling with emotions, relationships, or past experiences. It provides a safe, supportive space for you to explore what's on your mind and develop practical strategies for a better sense of well-being.
If you're not sure if therapy is right for you, a free consultation is a great way to explore how it might fit your needs.

Therapy can absolutely help with depression, anxiety, and trauma. It provides a supportive space to address the negative thoughts and emotions that can feel overwhelming.
Specialized methods like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and other evidence-based approaches can help you process difficult experiences, develop healthier coping skills, and find a sense of control. Therapy is a journey toward healing, and it can give you the tools you need to move forward with strength.
-
Yes, therapy is highly effective, especially with a commitment to the process. While healing takes time, research shows that therapy can lead to meaningful, lasting change. By working with a trained therapist, you can learn new coping skills, gain insights, and make positive changes in your life.
