How do I find the right therapist?
Finding a therapist who is the right for you is essential in getting the most you can out of therapy. I encourage you to schedule an initial meeting in order to have the opportunity to see how it feels to work together and how therapy might help you with your concerns. Interacting in person is usually the best way to get a sense of whether it's a "good fit" or not.
What is your fee? Do You Take Insurance?
Please contact me to hear information about my current fee. I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots and if you need a reduced fee to work together on a consistent basis, I encourage you to let me know.
I do not accept any insurance plans directly, but if your insurance covers out of network providers, I can give you an invoice which you may submit to insurance to receive some direct reimbursement. If your insurance does not cover out of network providers, you may be able to use pre-tax savings (a “flex spending” plan) offered by some employers for reimbursement of individual therapy costs.

This information will help guide me in a considering a plan and direction for therapy.
