to Ask.
Can't find yours? Send me a note or book a free consultation.
Do you take insurance?
I'm a private-pay practice and don't bill insurance directly, but I provide superbills you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement if your plan offers it. This keeps your care private and fully in your hands.
What is a superbill?
It's an itemized receipt of our sessions that you submit to your insurance company to request out-of-network reimbursement. Whether (and how much) you're reimbursed depends on your specific plan.
How long and how often are sessions?
Sessions are typically 50 minutes (60 for your first intake), usually weekly to start. We'll find the rhythm that fits your needs and your life.
Do you work with children and teens?
Yes — kids 8 and up, teens, and their parents. I create a warm, trusting space for young people and partner closely with families.
Do you see couples?
Yes. I offer couples and premarital counseling using the research-based Gottman Method.
I've never been to therapy before. Is that okay?
Completely. Many of my clients are first-timers. There's nothing you need to prepare — just come as you are, and we'll take it one gentle step at a time.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. What you share stays between us, within the standard legal and ethical limits (like safety), which I'll review with you clearly before we begin.
How do I get started?
Book a free 15-minute consultation. We'll talk about what's going on, you can ask anything, and we'll see if we're a good fit — no pressure at all.
