FAQ

  • What kind of therapy do you practice?

    I practice Integrative Psychotherapy, which combines elements from different therapeutic approaches and treatment modalities. This allows me to create a customized treatment plan specifically tailored to your needs—rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all approach.

    At the core of my practice is psychodynamic therapy, a deep, insight-oriented treatment that helps uncover the underlying causes of symptoms that may be outside your conscious awareness. In addition, I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Sensorimotor Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to support emotional regulation, body awareness, and personal growth.

    All of my work is grounded in a trauma-informed perspective, recognizing the profound impact trauma can have on your mental health and overall well-being.

  • What are sessions like?

    My integrative approach to therapy allows me to draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, creating a customized session space that meets your unique needs and concerns. And yes, I do talk—therapy is a collaborative process!

    In our sessions, we’ll create a safe space to explore how you’re feeling, what’s been happening in your life, and how you've been coping. This is an opportunity for you to get to know yourself better, while I provide active listening, ask insightful questions, and use my specialized training to support you in achieving your personal goals. Together, we'll work towards emotional healing, growth, and deeper self-awareness.

  • How much does it cost?

    50 minute sessions are $220.

    Financing, OON insurance and sliding scale options are available if needed. Please send me a message to hear more.

  • Why don't you take insurance?

    I believe therapy should be centered around your individual needs and autonomy. Unfortunately, working with insurance often creates numerous barriers that can restrict the freedom, safety, and flexibility of your treatment.

    By working outside of insurance regulations, I can offer a more attuned, trauma-informed therapy process—one that is free from institutional constraints. This allows us to develop a truly personalized treatment plan, where the focus is on your healing journey, not insurance protocols or limitations.

  • I keep hearing about 'out of network' benefits. What does that mean?

    Many insurance companies, including Cigna, United Healthcare, Aetna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, offer out-of-network (OON) benefits for clinicians like myself who are not directly contracted with them. If your plan includes out-of-network coverage, you can pay the full session fee upfront, and I will provide you with all the necessary paperwork, or Superbills, to submit to your insurance provider.

    Once you submit the Superbill, your insurance company will process the claim and send you a reimbursement check for the percentage of the session they cover. I’m happy to assist you in determining if your insurance plan provides OON benefits, but please note that coverage eligibility is ultimately between you and your insurance provider

  • How do I figure out my Out of Network benefits?

    To understand your out-of-network therapy coverage, call your insurance company’s Member Services line and ask the following questions:

    - Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health or behavioral health coverage?

    - What is my out-of-network deductible for mental health services?

    - What is my out-of-network coinsurance for outpatient mental health?

    - Is there a limit to the number of mental health therapy sessions my plan will cover?

    - Do I need a referral from an in-network provider to see someone out-of-network?

    - How do I submit claim forms for insurance reimbursement for therapy?

    Navigating insurance benefits can be tricky, but I’m happy to help you through the process!

  • Do you offer a sliding scale?

    I offer sliding scale therapy based on financial need and individual circumstances. If the standard fee is a barrier to starting therapy, we can discuss flexible payment options that work for your situation. My goal is to make therapy accessible to as many people as possible, and I’m happy to find a solution that fits your budget.

  • How do I know if we'll be a fit?

    Before making any commitments, I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation over the phone. This session is a chance to discuss the challenges that have you seeking support, learn more about my therapy practice, and explore how I can work with you to achieve your goals.

    During this consultation, we’ll talk about the details of my therapy approach and determine if we’re a good fit. If everything feels aligned, we can discuss therapy fees and logistics. If, for any reason, we don't feel like it’s the right fit for either of us, that’s perfectly okay! I’m happy to refer you to a trusted therapist colleague who might be a better match for your needs
