What should a new client know about working with you?

A therapist that is actively engaged. I want to understand how you go to your present difficulties and how to move forward with self confidence, purpose and direction. I like my patients to feel safe in the therapeutic space and know that their experiences in life have shaped them but they have the power to make changes that will be healthier for themselves. I do challenge my patients and make them aware of what patterns or thinking style or relational choices are feeding their difficulties. I want my clients to feel empowered to make choices and changes in their lives versus feeling like helpless victims.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
