What should a new client know about working with you?

"Our first 1-2 sessions will be focused on gathering information as part of the intake process. This is an important part of the therapeutic process because it allows us to get a feel of what it will be for us to work together. As we move forward, I will tailor our approach based on the insights and goals we established in our initial meeting. Our sessions will provide a dedicated space for you to share your thoughts, emotions, and concerns. As we progress, we'll delve into the core issues that may be causing challenges in your life. After we've worked together for a while, you can expect to see a shift in your overall well-being. Our collaborative work will guide you toward a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you. "

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.
