Insurance
I am an out-of-network provider. Many folks have generous out-of-network coverage for psychotherapy, and I provide documentation when requested to access those benefits. The best way to find your coverage is to call the number on the back of your insurance card.
How to Book
If you’re a new client, please visit my Book page to schedule a free consultation. Returning clients can schedule through my Online Portal.
Consultations are usually about 15 minutes in length and relatively informal- just a way for us to get to know each other and determine if we’d be a good fit.
Sliding Scale
It’s so important to me that high-quality therapy is accessible to all. To that end, I maintain a limited number of sliding-scale spots. I am also happy to provide referrals to lower cost treatment centers in the community.
Cancellation Policy
I offer free cancellations up to 24 hours in advance of your appointment time. Once within that 24 hour window, I will make every effort to reschedule you within the week if possible.
No Surprises Act
You are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of total costs, which is determined by multiplying the session fee by the likely number of sessions you may need in the next 12 months. This is simply an estimate- you may always end treatment at any time.

Frequency
As a policy, I ask new clients to begin on a weekly basis at the same time each week. While we may decide together to change the frequency of sessions, weekly is typically most effective for initiating treatment.
Length of Treatment
It is difficult, if not impossible, to give a blanket statement for how long treatment will take. Some clients find that they get what they need after just a few sessions, and some prefer support indefinitely. It is your choice how long to stay in therapy, and something we discuss regularly.
My preferred treatment modality, AEDP, has found that at least 16 weekly sessions yields positive effects that last over a year after the end of treatment, so I often use that as a benchmark when planning treatment.
Ending Treatment
In my practice, I prefer to begin with the end in mind, so in intake sessions we discuss your goals, how to assess them, and a reasonable timeline to achieve them. While life sometimes takes twists and turns, we are always working toward supporting your clarity about what you need- and when you’ve gotten it!
