Frequently Asked Questions

Reach out for a free consultation. We can talk through what you are experiencing and see if we might be a good fit for working together. If not, I can provide you with referrals for someone that may be better suited to your needs.

The fees are $150 for individual sessions and $160 for family sessions. I don’t currently take insurance, but I can provide clients with a superbill which can allow them to seek reimbursement from their insurance company.

Investing in your mental health is always worthwhile. However, I understand that this is not always possible due to a wide range of circumstances. We would have an open discussion about this and come to a mutually acceptable solution. That might be looking at sliding scale fees based on income, or it could be me providing you with referrals for other clinicians.

Both. Currently I do not have an office space, so in person meetings take place at a park or at mutually agreed upon locations in the community. Some popular options are walk and talk sessions in a park, or meeting in a study room in the library. If these options don’t work for you I am happy to see clients online from the comfort of their own homes.

First sessions can feel very different from regular sessions. The first few sessions are about getting to know each other and building a relationship. You are free to share whatever you would like to share, or I might ask you some questions to learn more about your background.
-
This is totally normal. Many people have a hard time figuring out what to say and what they want to work on. This is one of the skills we can work on in therapy. I will ask questions to help you think more about what you want to talk about and work on. I’m here to help.

Home visits are negotiable but are not available for the first few sessions. It is important that we develop a relationship, and both feel safe with that arrangement first. This is something we would discuss openly after 3-4 sessions.
