Have Questions?

1Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes! I offer virtual sessions based on your preference and convenience. I request that you have a private space for your session and that you limit outside distractions as much as possible.
2What are the available payment options?
I am an in-network provider with Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Oscar and Oxford insurance plans. I can also accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards. If you have out-of-network coverage through your insurance plan, I can provide you with the documentation needed for reimbursement. Sliding scale payment options are available for those who qualify based on income and household size. My private pay rate for individual therapy is $135 per session, and $150 per session for relationship therapy.

Ready To Get Started?
Schedule a Free Consultation

Schedule a Free
Consultation

The first step towards treatment is a 15-minute phone or virtual consultation in which you tell me about what brings you to seek counseling and what your primary concerns are. I answer any questions you have, and we determine if it would be a good fit. It is helpful if you fill out my intake questionnaire prior to the consultation, which will be sent to you via email when you book your appointment.

Flexible Treatment
Options

Your treatment is designed around you. Between flexible scheduling and flexible payment options, we'll work to reduce as many impediments to treatment as possible.

Ongoing
Support

Change takes time! My goal is to provide you with the support and tools you need to manage life's challenges in a healthy way. It is important to me to develop trust and a positive therapeutic relationship. Together, we will work on identifying problem areas, goals, and then developing a treatment plan for therapy.
