FAQs

The intake process is simple: we’ll start with a quick phone call, I’ll send you some forms to complete online, and then our first full session will focus on understanding your goals and what brings you to therapy. From there, we’ll set a schedule for ongoing sessions that works best for you.

After the initial intake appointment, therapy typically continues with regular sessions that are 45 minutes long. Most clients attend once per week, which provides steady progress and continuity. For those engaging in psychoanalytic work, we may decide together that more frequent weekly sessions are a better fit.

The frequency can always be adjusted over time to match your needs and goals.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I am not contracted with insurance companies. This allows more flexibility in care and allows you to find the right fit, rather than be limited to a therapist in your insurance network. If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement from your insurance company. I provide a monthly statement (called a superbill) that you can submit to your insurer. Many clients are pleasantly surprised to find that their plan covers part of the cost. I’m happy to guide you through the process of checking your benefits so you know what to expect.

I reserve your appointment time specifically for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed sessions without notice, will be charged the full session fee.

I understand that emergencies and unexpected events happen—please reach out as soon as possible if something urgent comes up.

Therapy is available through secure video sessions, so you can meet from the comfort of your own space. Telehealth makes it easier to fit therapy into your life—no commute, no waiting room—while still providing the same level of care and confidentiality as in-person sessions.
