Do you take insurance? How much do you charge?
I am in the process of becoming paneled with Blue Cross Blue Shield and expect to be taking this insurance plan by February 2026.
I also do accept private pay clients who would like to not go through insurance as well. My fees are:
Individual Therapy: $180/50 minute session
Couples Therapy: $220/50 minute session
For insurance other than BCBS, I can provide a Superbill for possible reimbursement if you have out of network benefits.

What are some ways I could afford paying out of pocket?
Please note that come February 2026, I will not be able to provide Superbills for BCBS once I am a paneled provider.
Many private insurance companies, as part of your policy, have “Out of Network Benefits.” I use a telehealth platform that also automatically creates what is called a “SuperBill” which serves as a receipt for our sessions that you submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. I’ve had clients be able to be reimbursed anywhere from 60-80% of session cost depending on their policy. I highly recommend calling your insurance company and asking about these benefits, in addition if there is an “Out of Network Deductible” to meet before you are eligible for reimbursement. Please do not hesitate to ask questions about this!

How long does a session last? Do you meet in person or virtually?
I meet with both individuals and couples for 55 minute sessions.
I currently meet with clients virtually with some availability to be seen in person as well. I use a secure platform that handles all aspects of the logistics of our work including sending links, reminders, and handling paperwork and billing as well.

How do we get started? What is the process of setting up an initial session?
As someone who loves clear steps, I appreciate this question!
Send an inquiry via my website or Psychology Today profile with your name, email, and a few brief sentences on what you are looking for. If I have spots, I will get back to you within 3 business days.
I will reach out to you with some basic information and send some intake paperwork prior to an intake session where we will review paperwork and spend time discussing the work we can do together. After this, if we agree we are a good fit, we continue from there.

Would we be a good fit?
Another great question! And it may take a couple of sessions to know!
Generally, if you align with any of my specialities or identities that typically see, that is a good start! After this, clients should know that I come ready to work in session and I will bring warmth, compassion, humor, and clarity. I also appreciate that if this is your first time seeing a therapist, we may spend a session or two discussing how we “do” therapy!
My hope is that if someone close to you were to ask, “so what are you doing in therapy?”, you will be able to consistently given an answer about what we are working on.
