Please note these prices are out of pocket expenses if your insurance does not cover, you are not using insurance, or self-pay.

What Happens When You Reach Out:

1) First, we’ll schedule a free consultation via email or phone – whichever you prefer! During this free consultation, I’ll follow your lead, asking questions about what brings you to therapy, and whether it feels like we’re a good fit for working together.

2) If we decide that we are a good fit, we’ll schedule your first session, also called an intake appointment. I will send you some documents ahead of time that help me get to know you better and provide some important information for insurance and our treatment plan.

3) During our first session, we’ll meet so I can learn more about what brings you to therapy in your own words. We’ll also discuss scheduling, treatment planning, the forms you completed. This will also be a great chance for you to ask any and all questions you have about me and the therapy process.

Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and discuss your goals for therapy. We'll explore your concerns, background, and any specific challenges you're facing. I'll provide an overview of how therapy works and answer any questions you may have. It's a collaborative process, and your comfort is a priority. By the end of the session, we aim to establish a foundation for our work together and discuss a plan tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.

I provide individual therapy sessions in person and through telehealth.

Typical sessions are 45-60 minutes.

If conjoint sessions are needed this can be discussed in a session and/or I can provide you a referral.

The duration of therapy varies for each individual and depends on your unique goals and needs. Some clients find relief and achieve their objectives in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. The pace of therapy is a collaborative decision, and we'll regularly assess progress together. Ultimately, the goal is to provide the support you need for as long as you find it beneficial, empowering you to navigate life with increased resilience and well-being.

A Good Faith Estimate is an estimate of the anticipated costs of mental health services, including fees for therapy sessions. It provides transparency about the potential financial commitment associated with therapy. My aim is to ensure clear communication regarding fees and any potential additional costs, helping you make informed decisions about your mental health care. If you have further questions or need clarification on the estimate, feel free to discuss it during our sessions.
