Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Online sessions (also called telehealth or virtual sessions) are a great fit for many people. The benefits of having therapy online are numerous. For some, it's the only option - and therapy is only effective if it happens!

• You may feel safer in your own environment.
• If you struggle with social anxiety, you may find that you feel more comfortable online.
• With permission, your environment can become part of the therapeutic process (e.g. support with meals and other activities of daily living, assessing mood and functioning via your living space, etc.).
• No time spent on the road or sitting in traffic!

I recommend that you consider whether you have a private space for sessions where you can talk freely, and whether you have a reliable internet connection.

Don't forget, if you find that online therapy isn't your jam, it's ok. I'm happy to try and help you find a better fit.

Standard 50-min sessions are $220.

I am not in-network with any insurance companies; however, if you have a policy, you may be entitled to "out-of-network" benefits. If desired, I can provide a monthly superbill* for you to submit for potential reimbursement. Potential reimbursement is between you and your insurance carrier and requires a diagnosis on record

I believe quality therapy should be a right, not a privilege. To help make that a reality, I reserve a limited number of reduced-fee slots for clients who might not otherwise be able to access therapy. No proof of income is required.

If you're able to pay my full fee, I encourage you to do so, as it helps sustain these reduced-fee options and makes therapy accessible to more people.

I charge your full session fee for missed sessions (no-shows) and any cancellations with less than 24-hour notice.

I aim to be flexible, so if we are able to reschedule within the same calendar working week (Mon. - Thurs.), I will not charge for the canceled session.

I use a secure credit card processing system for mental health providers called Ivy Pay. There's nothing for you to download and you only need to enter your card information once. I'll help you get set up at the end of your first session. It only takes a minute or two and unless you need to update your card in the future, you don't have to worry about it again!

Sessions take place over a secure video-conferencing platform called SimplePractice. If you're using a smart phone, you do need to download the app, otherwise, the platform is browser-based. About 10 minutes before each appointment, you'll be emailed a unique URL for the session.

Yes. I am able to provide effective treatment for more generalized mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, etc. During your free consultation call, I'll ask you to share a bit about what you're dealing with and if it's something I don't have much experience with, I'll let you know.

Seems random, doesn't it? I started my private practice in the Los Angeles area where I lived for many years. Recently I relocated to Vermont and obtained my license here. I still love my Californians though, so I'm maintaining a current license there as well.

I schedule sessions between 10:00a and 5:00p (eastern time), Monday through Thursday.
