I offer both online and in person therapy sessions. Many clients choose a hybrid approach that fits their schedule and preferences. Online sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.

Yes. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can get a feel for how I work and ask any questions before scheduling a first session. There’s no obligation — just a chance to see if we’re a good fit.

I do not accept insurance or Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). However, I can provide a superbill upon request for clients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance provider.

My fee is $165 per 50-minute session for both individuals and couples. This is often referred to as a “therapeutic hour.” I do not offer different rates based on session type or relationship status.

• When insurance pays the bill, insurance dictates the type of treatment you receive. When you pay for services directly, you and your therapist choose that treatment that is best for you.
• Insurance pays out more for some types of treatment over others, which means a therapists could become bias and choose higher paying treatments even when they are not the most effective for you.
• You are limited to how often you can see your therapist. Typically, you are limited to once a week for a set number of weeks, even of more frequent visits might benefit you more.
• A “diagnosis” must be made by the therapist and added to your medical record.
• Many insurance companies still require you to pay a co-pay and/or meet a deductible before they start paying for your therapy.

At first may appear as if paying out-of-pocket is more expensive than using insurence, but when you consider the total treatment plan it is very possible that you will pay LESS in the long run. Patients seen by a cash-based provider get better faster which means they need less visits than those seen through insurance.

You and me, that’s it! When you use insurance to pay for mental health, your records are open to a third party for review. If you want maximum confidentiality for your mental health records, then using a cash-based therapist is a must!
