Frequently Asked Questions
Q1:What kind of clients do you work with?
Most clients on my caseload are high-functioning individuals with underlying symptoms of depression, trauma, PTSD, grief/loss, or anxiety — people who can still work and engage day to day, yet struggle with deeper meaning or getting over the past. Specialties include childhood trauma, sexual trauma, PTSD, relational conflict, low self-esteem, young adults, work stress for medical professionals, LGBTQ+ issues, substance abuse, depression, and grief/loss.
Q2:Do you offer in-person and telehealth?
Yes. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions Monday through Friday; Thursdays are telehealth only. Please give one to two days’ notice if you need to switch format.
Q3:What are your rates?
Sessions are $180 per 50 minutes. A complimentary 15-minute consultation is available.
Q4:Do you take insurance?
I am not in-network with insurance plans. Working outside insurance allows confidential, individualized, depth-oriented therapy without medical-necessity restrictions. Superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement upon request.
