You can schedule a free 15 minute consultation or initial therapy session by:

Scheduling an appointment with me in the Get Started section or by filling out the contact form in the Contact Section.

Once you schedule an appointment, I will email you opening paperwork for you to complete before your first session. You will also get a link to your Client Portal to complete intake paperwork.

You will need to spend a few minutes downloading the “Telehealth” app that is used for HIPAA compliant video use.

I will then go over the intake paperwork including confidentiality, informed consent, cancellation policy and answer any questions you might have.

The rest of the session will be spent discussing potential goals, gathering further background information so that your therapist can work on forming a treatment plan to address your needs.

Numerous studies have found that telehealth therapy can produce clinical outcomes similar to those achieved in traditional in-person therapy. Conditions treated include depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use disorders.

Research also consistently reports high levels of client satisfaction with telehealth therapy, especially given the convenience and accessibility of remote sessions.

Overall, studies suggest that telehealth therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy for various mental health concerns.

A superbill is a summary or receipt of services provided monthly to submit to your health insurance plan for potential reimbursement for out of network coverage.

You can check your coverage by calling the number on the back of your health insurance card and ask if your insurance company will reimburse therapy services provided by out of network providers.

Late cancellation is considered not notifying me 24 hours or less from the appointment of the cancelation. If this is the case, you will be charged the full session fee.

We will not charge in cases of emergency.

No showing (not contacting your therapist at least 2 hours before your appointment) will result in being charged the full session fee.

The No Surprises Act was designed to protect consumers from receiving unexpected medical bills from out of network providers. Under the provisions of this act, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers must give their clients who do not have insurance or who are not using their insurance, an estimate of the bill for their treatment:

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.

If you received a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Please be sure to save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate.
