Sessions typically last 50 to 55 minutes, which is the standard duration for individual therapy. Longer sessions can be arranged in advance as needed.

The standard session fee is $250. Fees for longer sessions are calculated on a pro-rata basis using the standard session rate. Credit cards are kept on file, and payment is charged on the day of the session.

I am an Out of Network provider with health insurance. Full session fees are required at the time of service. A "superbill" (receipt) can be provided for reimbursement from your insurance company if applicable. The insurance company determines the reimbursement amount, if any, based on your plan and requires a mental health diagnosis. If your health insurance company contributes to the cost of your therapy, they also have the right to audit your records. You will need to contact your insurance company if you have questions about your plan or reimbursement possibilities.

You can schedule sessions through my client portal or by contacting me via email or phone. Free 15 to 20-minute consultations are available; please reach out to me directly for scheduling.

Yes, all sessions are conducted virtually via Telehealth by SimplePractice. A unique link is sent to you with the appointment reminder prior to each session.

There is an app available by the same name, Telehealth by SimplePractice, that can be used if using a smartphone or tablet/iPad for sessions.

No, at this time all therapy sessions are conducted online.

The “client portal” is Simple Practice, a HIPAA compliant Electronic Health Records system. I use Simple Practice for scheduling, client records, secure client chat, payments and intake questionnaires and forms. Prior to the first session, you’ll receive and complete intake forms and other necessary documents via the client portal. There is an app named SimplePractice Client Portal mobile app available on the App Store or Google Play for ease of access to scheduling, secure chat and billing information.

Sessions are client-centered and tailored to your unique needs. We'll engage in deep exploration of your struggles, emotions, and thoughts, utilizing various therapeutic techniques and modalities to promote growth and self-awareness.

My approach is holistic, integrating body, mind, heart and true nature. I draw from modalities such as Humanistic, and Transpersonal Psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and The Gottman Method.

Cancellations or rescheduled appointments require at least 24 hours' notice to avoid the full session fee. Missed or rescheduled appointments without 24 hours' notice are charged the full session fee.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining 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 (“private pay”) an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

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

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800.985.3059.
