FAQs
How do I get started?
1
The first step is reaching out for a free consultation. This is a 15–20 minute call where we can talk briefly about what's bringing you to therapy, answer any questions you have, confirm insurance options and get a feel for whether we'd be a good fit. There's no pressure, it's just a conversation.

What can I expect in the first session?
2
The first session is about getting to know each other. I'll ask questions about your medical and mental health history, symptoms, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. You don't need to have it all figured out before we meet—we'll find our way into it together. It's also a chance for you to get a feel for how I work and decide if this feels like the right space for you.
How long are sessions, and how often will we meet?
Sessions are 50 minutes.
Most clients start by meeting weekly, which helps build momentum early on. As things shift, we'll talk about what frequency makes sense for where you are.
Do you accept insurance?

What is your cancellation policy?
I am currently in-network with BCBS, Aetna, Cigna,and UHC insurances. If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill—a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
I'd recommend calling your insurance provider ahead of time to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits.
I ask that you cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before your session. Late cancellations or no-shows within that window are charged fees between $100-$200 dollars.
This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. If you are late for a session, you may lose some of that session time. Please remember to cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance. If you are more than 15 minutes late to a session we are not able to charge you insurance for that session and you may be charged the full self-pay fee for that session.
