Frequently Asked Questions

I believe that everyone deserves to be heard without judgment and to focus on their needs and growth. Therapy can be enlightening, challenging and life-changing, and I encourage you to take that first step. I look forward to joining you on this journey.

Teletherapy, also known as telehealth or telemedicine, is therapy delivered through virtual and secure live video conferencing. Teletherapy offers greater convenience and accessibility than in-person sessions, and many clients find the experience to be comparable. Remote sessions can ease barriers to traditional therapy such as busy schedules, childcare, transportation/parking, and inclement weather as you are able to engage in sessions from your own home or other private locations.

Many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of teletherapy. Most insurance policies cover teletherapy as they would an in-person session.

I exclusively use secure and HIPAA compliant virtual platforms for teletherapy. Just like in-person sessions, therapists are required to protect the confidentiality of their clients.

No, I only see clients via teletherapy. If you’re uncertain about teletherapy, reach out to discuss your options, try a test call, or receive outside referrals.

I am in-network with Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO, Aetna, and United Healthcare. For all other insurance providers, I am considered out-of-network, and you will be responsible for the full cost of the sessions. If you wish to use your benefits but I am not in-network with your insurance, I can provide the invoices you need to submit for reimbursement.

For in-network insurance coverage, the cost per session (copays, coinsurance, deductible) is determined by your insurance policy. If you are not going through insurance, or if you have out-of-network insurance, the cost is $150 - $175 for a 50-minute session. I accept all major credit cards, checks, ACH bank transfers, Zelle, and health savings accounts.

Appointments canceled less than 24 hours before your scheduled appointment will result in a $50 fee that is not covered by insurance. The cancellation fee will be waived in the case of an emergency.
