What should a new client know about working with you?
Every patient is unique, and your treatment requires an individualized approach. I will always work with you, and share decision-making in the treatment process!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My typical process is first establishing a clear diagnosis through patient exam and history, reviewing what previous treatments may have worked/not worked for that patient, and if indicated starting the patient on an empirical medication management treatment that is based on the current evidence-based guidelines. Depending on the severity of the condition being treated, I recommend following up routinely to monitor the patients response to treatment and adjusting as needed. Additionally, I order bloodwork for certain medications that require monitoring. I never ask my patients to follow up more often than they have to. If you are a stable patient, there is no reason you have to follow up every 1-2 months!

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $140 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $100 for 30 minutes
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
I am credentialed with nearly every health insurance in Pennsylvania, but I am currently a cash only private practice at this time. I will be accepting all insurances in the near future! All major credit/debit cards are accepted as payment. Payments must be paid in full my the time of evaluation.
