  • I do not accept insurance plans, but I am able to offer superbills for out of network reimbursement, and I am able to accept payment via HSA. I offer a free 30 minute consultation so we can decide whether we are a good fit for each other.

  • I view the first three sessions as an opportunity for us to get to know each other. After that, you can decide if working with me feels right, and I can assess if I’m the best fit for your needs. If either of us feels it’s not the right match, I’ll gladly provide at least one referral based on what I’ve learned about you.

  • Consistency is key for the therapeutic process, so I prefer to have regular weekly appointments with all clients. Your session time is reserved for you for as long as you need treatment, and that time slot is not given to anyone else until our work together is completed. Therefore, if you are unable to attend our regularly scheduled session, you can reschedule the appointment for a new time during the same week or the week before or after, which allows for a three-week window to reschedule a missed session. If you choose not to reschedule or we cannot find a day/time that is mutually available for a reschedule, you will be charged the full fee for the missed session. Fees are waived for two absences per year for vacations or emergencies.

  • Unless you give me specific written consent to disclose information, all client/patient information is confidential. I may, and sometimes must, break confidentiality under the following circumstances: 

    • If you present an imminent threat of harm to yourself or others.

    • When there is an indication of abuse of a child, dependent adult or elderly adult.

    • If you become gravely disabled.

    • If information is required by a court subpoena or court order.
