What to Expect

Beginning therapy can be over whelming! You may be feeling anxious, unsure, hopeless, lost, angry, and desperate...or maybe hopeful, excited, motivated, and curious! Here's what you can expect:

First Appointment

The main focus is on getting to know one another, and creating a mutual understanding about the goals for our work together.

We will talk about your present concerns, the changes you want to see happen, and your history as it relates to the problem. The first appointment will last approximately one hour.

Regular Sessions

It is my expectation that clients be active participants in their treatment. I embrace the belief that I am responsible for the process, you are responsible for the outcome.

This means working hard between appointments and coming prepared to discuss your progress towards your stated goals.

When and how does treatment end?

From the outset of treatment, we will talk about how you will know when our work is at its end. When you have reached your goals, and feel better about your relationship or life we will have a conversation about where to go next. Some people refocus treatment on new goals, some decrease the frequency of appointments, while others step away from therapy.

Fee for services

$150 for a 1 hour session

As of 11/1/2023 I am no longer in network with any insurance plans.

For those without insurance, who do not wish to use insurance or for whom I am not in network with your plan:
- You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
