In the initial few sessions, I will want to learn about your history, interests, strengths, and the reasons you are seeking therapy. From there, we will establish your therapeutic goals, expectations, and a schedule.

Everyone comes to therapy for different reasons; therefore, sessions are going to look different for everyone. From the first session on, I offer consistency, compassion, empathy, safety, affirmation, and healing. You should expect to be heard, validated, and challenged while also recognizing that therapy is difficult, emotional, and life-altering.

​

As you start your therapeutic journey, I encourage you to attend a free 20-minute consultation to get to know me and experience how I work first-hand.

A superbill is a document you can submit to your insurance company to cover the cost of therapy sessions.

Please note that reimbursements are not guaranteed, and the process typically takes 2-4 weeks to complete.

Superbills will include a formal diagnosis from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, and dates of service.

​

Additionally, many insurance companies may not cover couples counseling under a superbill, so I encourage you to talk to your insurance provider to explore coverage options for couples counseling.

Sessions last 50 or 90 minutes, depending on your specific needs. I offer both weekly and bi-weekly services to best support your long and short-term goals, however we can adjust how frequently we meet, or I may recommend different timelines based on your goals.

When it comes to how many weeks, months, or years therapy lasts, that is entirely up to you. Most of my clients reach their goals within 3 to 6 months, but some have been working with me for years.

​

You are not obligated to continue therapy if you feel it is not working for you or you have achieved your desired goals.

A “Good Faith Estimate” is an explanation of how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

​

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

I do not accept any insurance plans at this time. However, I can provide a superbill at the end of each month to potentially help cover the costs of therapy services. See "What is a Superbill?" if you have additional questions.
