Frequently Asked Questions
RATES
55-minute individual or relationship session - $150
Fee is due at time of service. I keep a debit or credit card on file using a HIPAA-compliant program called Ivy Pay to make payments as hassle-free for clients as possible. I offer an 85-minute session length to accommodate the need for more time during family or couples sessions. Generally, sessions run 55 minutes.
In order to make therapy more accessible to folks, I offer a select number of sliding scale spots. Sliding scale fee starts at $90 for a 55-minute session. I understand that money can be a sensitive topic of conversation; please feel free to reach out if you have questions about fees or sliding scale options.

GETTING STARTED
Send me a message from the Contact page or leave me a voicemail. I will contact you during my next office day to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. During the conversation, we will discuss what you would like to work on, and if we could be a good fit. If we both decide to proceed, we will schedule an initial in-person session at my office. Before the appointment, I will send you an invitation to a HIPAA-compliant online portal where you complete and sign the electronic intake documents.

VIDEO THERAPY
Video sessions are available for some clients after we have met several times in-person and established a relationship. I use a HIPAA compliant program to keep our video sessions confidential. Please bring this up during session if you would like to know more.

INSURANCE
I am not currently paneled with any insurance companies, however I am able to provide you with an invoice (superbill) to send into your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement. I suggest that you call your insurance carrier to verify out of network coverage.
You will need to ask your insurance provider the following:

You will need to ask your insurance provider the following:
- Does my plan cover out of network providers?
- What is my out of network deductible and have I met it yet this year?
- Will you cover services by an LMFT?
- What is the out-of-network reimbursement rate for billing 90837?
DURATION AND FREQUENCY OF THERAPY
Unless there is prior arrangement, all client sessions will take place weekly at a consistent weekday and time. Biweekly sessions are available after we have worked together for at least a few months and have established a trusting, therapeutic relationship. All of these decisions will be made together during session as a part of treatment.
The length of our time working together depends on many factors: Your goals for treatment, other factors in your life that may impact our work, possible new areas for growth that you may discover as we work together, etc. I have worked with clients for as little as a few months, to as long as several years. We will check in throughout our time working together to assess progress made and discuss when ending therapy is beneficial to you.
