Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer teletherapy?

Yes, I currently offer teletherapy. I recommend confirming how your insurance plan covers teletherapy sessions prior to making an appointment, as plan coverage may vary.

What are your fees?

My fees are $130 per individual session and $165 per couples session. If you are using one of the insurances that I accept, you may have a lower copay, depending on your plan.

What insurance plans do you accept?

I am currently accepting Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and United Healthcare. I am also contracted with Alliance Work Partners, an employee assistance program.

What can I do if you do not accept my insurance?

If I do not take your insurance, you have the option to pay the full fee out-of-pocket and then check if your insurance company will reimburse you for out-of-network providers. I will be happy to provide you with statements/invoices that many insurance companies require.

What type of payment do you accept?

I accept credit cards, checks, cash, and most HSA plans. I do require clients to have an up to date credit card on file to reserve appointment times.

How long will I be in therapy?

Length of therapy can vary depending on your specific needs and circumstances. Some people come to therapy with a specific issue or concern, and brief solution-focused therapy may be the right fit. Other times, people come to therapy to explore deeper issues and might engage in therapy for several months or even years. Typically, I initially see the majority of my clients once a week, with some eventually transitioning to once every two weeks or even once a month for a mental “tune up”.

How long are the sessions?

Each session typically lasts between 50 minutes and an hour.

What if I need to reschedule?

If you are unable to attend an appointment, please let me know via text, phone, or e-mail with at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid the late cancellation/no-show fee. This courtesy allows me to attempt to schedule another session during that time slot. Please be aware that insurance policies do not cover missed sessions, meaning that the entire cancellation fee (not just your copay) must be paid out of pocket. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours prior to your session, unless such cancellation is due to emergency or illness, you will be billed a $50 cancellation fee.

Where is your office located?

My office is located at 115 Kohlers Crossing, Suite 330. The office is located in Building #3, and there is ample parking and a small waiting area inside.

What should I do when I arrive?

Please park in the parking area surrounding the building. Once you enter, there is a small waiting area. Please have a seat and I will come find you at our scheduled appointment time.

What are your hours?

My typical office hours are between 9am - 6pm, Monday - Friday. If there are extenuating circumstances that prevent you from being available during those hours, please let me know and we can discuss other possible options.

Is there anything I should do prior to my first session?

To make your initial session go as smoothly as possible, please do the following:

  1. (If you are using insurance) E-mail me a copy of your insurance card, full name, and date of birth prior to your first session so that I can verify your benefits and help to determine your copay or coinsurance.

  2. Go to the “Patient Forms” section on my website and review, print, and sign the Informed Consent Form, Notice of Privacy Practices, and the Cancellation Policy to bring with you for your first session. I will review this paperwork with you and answer any questions that you might have.
