Frequently Asked Questions

How much do sessions cost?

My fee for a standard 50-minute session is $200. I am committed to making therapy accessible and offer sliding scale spots for those demonstrating financial need.

Can I use my insurance to pay for sessions?

I am an out-of-network provider, meaning I cannot bill your insurance directly. However, I can provide you with a “Superbill” monthly for potential reimbursement.

What's a Superbill and how do I know if my insurance company will reimburse our sessions?

A "Superbill" is a detailed receipt for you to submit to your health insurance. Reimbursement varies by policy, so contact your provider to verify out-of-network benefits. Key questions to ask include:

  • "What are my out-of-network benefits for behavioral health?"

  • "Is pre-authorization required?"

  • "Is there a co-payment involved?"

  • "Do I have to meet a certain deductible before receiving any reimbursement?"

What can I expect in therapy?

Therapy is a collaborative process focused on fostering understanding, healing, and personal growth. We'll work together to explore challenges, build resilience, and create positive change. It's a safe space where your experiences are honored, and you are met with compassion and support.

How long will it take for me to feel better?

Therapy is a unique journey, and the timeline varies. It's not a quick fix but an investment in yourself. Healing often involves building a therapeutic relationship, and progress occurs at your pace. Patience and commitment are key.

Why did you become a therapist?

My journey into therapy stems from a personal understanding of its transformative power. Experiencing the impact of therapy in my own life fueled a passion to support others in their healing. Lived experience has shaped my approach, emphasizing compassion and empathy.

How long are sessions?

Sessions are typically 50 minutes, providing a balance between depth and efficiency.

In person or virtual?

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions, providing flexibility to accommodate your preferences and needs.

What's your cancellation policy?

I understand life can be unpredictable. Please provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule to avoid a cancellation fee.

What modalities do you use?

My approach is integrative, combining psychodynamic insight with somatic therapies and EMDR. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance self-insight, understanding, and overall well-being.

How often will I see you?

I generally recommend starting with weekly sessions to build momentum and deepen the therapeutic process. As progress is made, we can adjust the frequency as needed.

Do I have to have an eating disorder to work with you?

Not at all. Everyone, regardless of specific challenges, can benefit from improving their body image and relationship with food. My practice is inclusive, embracing individuals at various points on their healing journey.
