FAQ
Are you accepting new clients?
Yes. I have some availability, as of April 2025. This is subject to change at any time. I do keep a waitlist for when I do not have availability, and I could add you to this if I am not immediately available.
What are your fees?
Will my health insurance cover therapy?
My private pay fee for a 50-minute session is $225.
You can find more information on the Fees and Insurance page.
​
Medicare covers 80% and your secondary insurance or supplemental plan covers the other 20% through June 30, 2025. Starting July 1, 2025, I will be accepting private pay only.
Some insurances allow you to see a therapist out of their network and require documentation from your therapist called a "Superbill." I am able to provide a "Superbill" for you to submit to your insurance in order for you to get reimbursed, if your plan allows that. ​
How long will I be in psychotherapy?
How do I know if you are a good fit for me?
Finding the right therapist is so important! Contact me to schedule a time for a 20-minute consultation for free in order to help you make this decision. If we decide to work together, then we will continually be assessing to make sure you are getting your needs met.
How can you help me if I'm a caregiver?
How long someone is in therapy varies from person to person, depending on their needs and goals. Many people start feeling better within 3 to 6 months. We will regularly revisit your specific goals to see if we are meeting them, and make adjustments as needed.
I offer psychotherapy to family members who are feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or struggling with the emotional challenges of caregiving.
In addition to ongoing therapy, I also offer short-term, solution-focused support for caregivers and families who need guidance navigating the healthcare system, exploring care options, or making decisions about a loved one's care. With over 15 years of experience as a medical social worker in hospital and home health settings, I bring practical expertise in discharge planning, chronic illness management, and advance care planning. I can also help facilitate those difficult but important conversations about end-of-life care.
How do I schedule an appointment?
What are your hours?
My hours are 9 am - 5 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and 1 pm - 5 pm on Thursdays for Spring 2025. ​
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give me a 24-hour notice if you need to cancel a scheduled appointment. You will be responsible for the whole amount of the session. This can be paid through Zelle or Venmo.
There are many reasons a client no longer wants to attend therapy and "termination" from therapy is a normal and expected process that comes ideally when you've reached your goals and developed more tools to help you cope in life.
Sometimes, however, a client feels therapy is not working or may have negative feelings toward the therapeutic process or even the therapist. This is normal. You are entrusting your most sacred aspects of your life to your therapist. Sometimes it is uncomfortable or you wish your therapist would respond in a different manner than they do. As your therapist, I would love the opportunity to help work through whatever the barrier is and make sure that I am providing what you need. I welcome you to share what is on your mind.
You have the right to terminate therapy at any time you no longer wish to attend. Although you have the option of not showing up, I believe bringing up the idea of wanting to end therapy in a session is most helpful in the long run. I promise you I will not invalidate your feelings. I welcome the opportunity for feedback as well.
