Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take insurance?

I do not take insurance, credit/debit only. At the time of your appointment, you may choose to pay with the credit card you have on file or with another credit card. Payment is due at the beginning of service. I also accept HSA/FSA cards with a MasterCard/Visa logo.

*Your insurance company may partially reimburse you if utilizing an out-of-network provider. I am able to provide you with what’s called a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. I do not file or submit any of the documents for you and you will still be required to pay for your session at the time of service. I would suggest you call your insurance provider prior to your first session to better understand if this is an option for you.

What if I can’t afford sessions?

I encourage you to schedule a 15-minute consultation to chat about your circumstances. There may be ways we can work out something that you can afford or find other resources to help.

How long will it take for me to feel better?

Unfortunately, I don’t have a perfect answer, as this is something so unique to each individual. I can tell you that therapy is sort of like a mental gym— if you want to achieve certain health benefits from exercising, you wouldn’t go just once or twice and expect to achieve those changes. Mental health is a journey just like physical and spiritual health and I encourage you to give it a shot and see what benefits you find.

Can I even get better?

I think sometimes we are afraid that we are too broken, too scarred, and there’s no hope for us, but that’s just the fear and the doubt talking; you are not too broken or too scarred. Remember, this journey is not about perfection, it’s about progress toward a life you want. The act of connecting with a counselor can be immensely helpful in feeling supported, accepted, and encouraged, which is a beautiful start to healing.

Where are you located?

I am currently seeing clients virtually only. If you’re hesitant about this option, I strongly encourage you to give it a try—it’s a little weird at first, but before you know it, it feels pretty normal. There is substantial research to support that online counseling is just as effective as in-person sessions. Additionally, virtual sessions allow for flexibility in scheduling without the added stress of traffic or getting off of work early, etc.
