HOW IT WORKS
The process of therapy can be truly transformative. I provide my clients with the structure and space to explore their lives in a safe, compassionate, and nurturing environment.
-
Where you’ve been
We’ll start by exploring you and your past in order to get a clear understanding of what the issues are and what past experiences have contributed to your current situation.
-
Where you are now
Once we have a clear understanding of how you got here, we’ll work on accepting the here and now. Only then can we begin the adventure of creating lasting change.
-
Where you want to go
Now that we understand your past and can make sense of your present, we’ll work to create a more connected, hopeful and meaningful future. Let’s begin the journey, together.

*In order to bill an insurance company, I would need to diagnose my clients with a mental illness. This is contrary to my own belief system about therapy; I see it as a terrific sign of strength and good health that one is ready and willing to ask for help. While some of my clients certainly do suffer from mental illness (and in those cases, I work in tandem with other health care providers, including psychiatrists) the majority of clients I see are experiencing trouble in their relationships. And anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows that there are times when it gets hard. Furthermore, I do not want other parties, such as those from insurance companies, to have access to your private information or to dictate the type of treatment you need.
Payment is collected at the end of every session via, cash, check, or credit card (including HSA cards). I do not accept insurance* as a form of payment but am happy to provide documentation (called a Superbill) for you to submit to your insurance company if you’d like to seek reimbursement.
No surprises/Good faith estimate
In accordance with the No Surprises Act that went into effect January 1, 2022, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
