My Approach & Fees
At this time I do not accept insurance but I am an out of network (OON) healthcare provider for most insurance companies. I also accept HSA/FSA but do not work with Medicare or Medicaid.
My intake fee is $140 and weekly sessions are $120/ 53 minutes. I offer superbills for Out of Network claims that can be reimbursed by your insurance or be applied toward your deductible.
My therapeutic approach is relaxed, collaborative and integrative. Not only has my professional training prepared me to work with clients in various stages of their life, but my own life has offered countless experiences that I use to understand and empathize with my clients’ challenges.
I blend a variety of evidence-based approaches to customize treatment plans for my clients. My therapeutic approach is always rooted in the psychodynamic framework. But I weave in CBT, mindfulness and EMDR as the need arises.
Mindfulness also informs my work and I often educate my clients about the benefits of mindfulness in reducing stress, panic, anxiety and intense emotions.
Since my foundational training is in psychodynamic theory and techniques, I work from the object relations/ attachment theory perspective. To support my depth work, I seek continuous education/ consultation/ supervision specific to these theories.

What to Expect and Fee Structure
Good outcomes are the result of a good therapeutic fit. During the first three sessions we will get to know one another and determine if we have a good “fit” to accomplish your goals. I typically see clients weekly or two times per week because I find this consistency to be most beneficial for my clients. It’s important to relax into therapy, understanding that progress will not be visible immediately and having patience with the process. I view therapy as a rewarding commitment and investment in the Self, with lifetime benefits.
I do not work with insurance companies but I take HSA/FSA. I do not accept Medicaid/Medicare. I also offer superbills, which allows my clients the most flexibility in managing their mental health, without constraints dictated by insurance company policies.
I set my fee at $120 per hourly session (53 minutes). The first session (intake) is 53 minutes at a rate of $140.
Let’s see if we are the good fit.
It’s not easy to take the first step. But isn’t it more painful to remain in the same place? I’ll be here when you are ready for a change and we will walk this journey together.
