Do you accept insurance?
I currently do not take insurance, however, I can supply a Superbill for potential reimbursement sent directly to you from your insurance policy.
Many insurance policies provide some form of “out of network coverage” which permits you to choose your preferred provider. In those cases, you would pay me in full at the time of service and then submit a claim with the insurance company for partial reimbursement. I can provide you with a Super Bill of services rendered. Step 1: Determine if you have out of network mental health coverage by checking with your insurance carrier. Step 2: Review your coverage carefully, call your representative, and find the answers to the following questions: Do I have out of network mental health benefits? How much does my insurance reimburse for an out-of-network provider? Are services from a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (License # 202605) reimbursed under my out of network mental health benefits? Step 3: If you are satisfied with your reimbursement rate, I will render a diagnoses to include in the paperwork to submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement. This is called a Super Bill which I provide for you. Why don't you take insurance?
1) You must be DIAGNOSED with a mental disorder

what is a consult all about?
A consultation is a time set aside for you to be able to meet your therapist in person and have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. This is also a time for you to express your presenting issue and what changes you would like to see. You will not be forced to discuss anything you don't wish to. You do not need to make the decision to continue with therapy at the end of the consult; you may go home and think about it. This time is for us to discover if we'll be a good fit. There is no paperwork during the consult. The consultation lasts a maximum of 30 minutes and is free.
Step 1: Decide to take the free leap towards the life you imagined. Step 2: Contact me via email or phone and schedule the consultation with me. Step 3: Show up and I will guide us from there. Do you offer a sliding scale?
I do not offer sliding scale services at this time but can assist in helping you find a therapist that does.

what is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy ("talk therapy") is an effective process for healing. It involves your willingness and openness to share your worries, concerns, and fears with me so that, together, we can explore the areas of your life giving you pain or frustration. We meet weekly in my office, a safe and confidential space for you to be yourself. During our sessions, I will ask questions, make assessments as needed, give a different perspective on matters, and offer accurate mirroring. You will share the presenting issue that brought you in and I will ask what you want out of therapy. We will work towards your personal goals and may discover a whole new set of goals along the way.
