Frequently Asked Questions
How long may I expect to be in therapy?
There is no definitive answer to this question. Though it's safe to say more than a session or two is necessary to make any headway on what brings someone in, some folks find a few sessions are sufficient, while others choose to continue long-term.
Often folks choose to continue to work with me through challenges as they arise, while others choose to meet on a consistent basis in order to dive deeper into overarching patterns and unpack the greater impact. There isn't necessarily a correct answer, but we can collaborate together to help you make the ultimate choice for yourself.
Why don't you accept my insurance?
I have been credentialed with insurance panels in the past in an effort to make therapy more affordable and accessible, but I found that all too often my clients were still getting billed for higher than expected rates due to the variance of coverage of mental health benefits across insurance plans.
Given the unpredictability of insurance coverage, I've chosen to charge out of pocket to avoid any surprise bills landing in your mailbox. This also allows me to offer more individualized care to each of my clients.
What if I can't afford your rate?
Don't let my rate discourage you from contacting me!
I have partnered with Mentaya to help clients use their out-of-network benefits, and recommend using the tool on my home page to see if your plan qualifies for reimbursement.

If reimbursement isn't in your plan, I can also help you find a therapist who may be able to accommodate your financial situation.
