Frequently asked questions.

  • My fee for 50-minute individual therapy is $175 per session. Family therapy is $200 per session. 2-hour breathwork sessions are $280 per session.

  • I believe that therapy should be accessible to everyone. For this reason, I reserve a limited number of reduced-fee weekly appointments (based on financial hardship). Please contact me to discuss further.

  • Like many other therapists in private practice, I do not bill insurance companies directly. If you have an insurance plan that includes coverage for out-of-network providers, I am happy to supply you with monthly invoices that you can submit for reimbursement (typically this covers a good percentage of my fee). Check with your plan directly to verify your coverage.

    You may be asked for the CPT code in order to verify the reimbursement rate; the CPT code for 50-minute individual sessions is 90834 and the CPT code for 60-minute individual sessions is 90837.

  • I see adolescents and teenagers ages 12+. The family therapy I provide focuses primarily on helping improve communication between family members by understanding and expressing needs in a way that can be heard.

  • I do not specialize in couples counseling, but often see individuals who are simultaneously engaged in couples counseling. I am happy to refer you to a local couple’s therapist from my network.

  • I typically see individual clients once per week for the first 3 months or so. Seeing each other on a weekly basis allows for us to build safety and trust, and for the work to move along at a good pace. The length of treatment depends on many circumstances, but I tend to give clients practical skills to support them immediately.

  • This is a very important question. I encourage you to consider logistical factors (office location, availability) as well as personal factors (my expertise, personality, and how you feel talking with me). Sometimes you have to be in a room with someone before you truly have a feel for the person. The first couple of face-to-face sessions can continue to inform your decision and we can talk about any ongoing concerns you may have.

    Being a good fit is important. When you’re ready, schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation.

  • I’ve loved hummingbirds since I was a child. My grandmother told me they bring blessings of love and joy and remind us to be playful. Throughout my life, hummingbirds have appeared when I’ve been in low, sad states with the message to be strong and resilient.

    Did you know that no other birds can fly like hummingbirds? They can fly forward, backward and even upside down! This one-of-a-kind uniqueness translates well as a symbol of my healing practice working with clients to help them honor and love their individuality and bring forth their unique purpose and gifts to share with the world.
