Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only work with families and couples?
Nope! I work with individuals as well. Even when I am treating a family, I end up working with individual family members & units as part of treatment.
The throughline of my work with clients is that they care deeply about their relationships and feel their connections with others can be better. We can work on achieving this goal in a variety of different ways, ranging from having a parent or individual come to therapy on their own to an entire family across generations working with me.
If you resonate with me as a therapist, I'd love to talk about working together.
Do you accept insurance?
I have a limited number of spots for individual clients with insurance that I see virtually through Headway on weekday mornings and afternoons. For clients that would like to come in person, I am able to provide superbills, which you may be able to submit to your insurance company for potential partial reimbursement depending on your policy. Some families may be able to receive up to 60-80% back for therapy after meeting their out-of-network deductible, though this is not guaranteed.
What is your rate?
I charge $225 for 50-minute family/couples/individual sessions. Group therapy costs $50 per group.
Your initial investment in therapy will be high (not only in terms of your financial resources, but also your time and emotional energy). This is not something I take lightly. Working with a cash pay therapist who charges a premium rate means that your provider is able to see less clients, allowing greater focus & sharp attention to you. This also means that your therapist is able to dedicate time to advanced training and development to offer a more efficient and effective experience.
How long can I expect to be in therapy with you?
Though it ranges vastly based on circumstances, I generally work with families, couples, & individuals weekly for about six months before we reach stabilization. The goal is that you go from weekly therapy to seeing me on an "as needed" basis as things arise.
I love working with clients but come from the mindset of "I want to work myself out of a job," because the goal is for you to be thriving without needing to see me every week.
Do you just work with families of teens?
Nope, I work with families who have kids of all ages, even families with adult children. Most of my experience has been working with teens and adults. If you have a younger child that ends up needing individual support that is not within my wheelhouse, I will refer them to a provider in my network who has more experience and training.
Why not just treat the teen? Why the whole family?
I could work with your teen individually for the next ten years to cope with stress in the family. This would be a lucrative business strategy. I did not become a therapist to manage the downstream effects of problems. I became a therapist to resolve them. If your teen is struggling with an issue that is independent of the family or their relationship with you, individual therapy is indicated. But if the challenges facing your teen involve or impact the family as a whole, the most effective way to work through them is to have everyone’s involvement.
