Frequently Asked Questions

  • In an effort to provide the best care possible, I have chosen not to contract with commercial insurance companies and operate as a self-pay provider. This ensures I am able to tailor your treatment plan and sessions to your unique needs and circumstances.

    While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay your co-insurance for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our phone consultation, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be.

    If you prefer to handle the reimbursement process on your own, I offer statements that you can submit to your insurance company each month.

  • It’s simple and convenient! Following your phone consultation I’ll send you paperwork to complete through my secure online system. You’ll also receive a link by email to join our virtual sessions.


    I recommend finding a quiet, private location where you’ll be comfortable for the duration of our session. If you share space with others, you may prefer to wear headphones or place a white noise machine near the door.

  • The first couple of appointments are all about getting to know each other. In our first session I’ll ask you lots of questions about what life is like for you now, your history, relationships, and goals for therapy. We’ll also begin to collaborate on a plan on how we’ll move forward in the process.
