Let’s work through the difficult issues together.

Individual Counseling

At some point in our lives we all need support. My goal is to guide you as we work through the issues together. The therapy room is a place to slow down, put away the distractions and focus on what’s important to you. It doesn’t have to be weekly, it doesn’t have to be long term. Therapy is truly ‘your time’ to contemplate, to have meaningful conversation, and to hopefully find a greater sense of peace in your life.

Family Counseling

Working with the family is often the most effective way to create change. It is helpful for dealing with difficult transitions, grief or family conflict. Coming together as a family can be quite powerful and offers a unique opportunity to have important discussions with all parties present.

Consulting/Coaching

Coaching can be helpful for working on a specific problem and coming up with solutions to move forward. It can be short term, long term or ongoing and can be helpful with creating a plan for complex issues, at home, at work or on creating balance between the two. Common topics discussed are work-life balance issues, relationship issues, career development, career transitions.

 FAQs

  • $225 per 50-minute session.

  • Although I do not accept insurance, services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

    • Do I have mental health insurance benefits?

    • What is my deductible and has it been met?

    • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

    • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

    • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

  • Cash, checks, and major credit cards are accepted.

  • If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

    Under the law, healthcare providers need to give clients 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 your healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

    You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. The Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your healthcare needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate is created.

    The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during the course of care. You could be charged more if special circumstances occur. In non-emergency circumstances, you will be provided with an updated Good Faith Estimate for any new expected charges.

    If you are billed for more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill under federal law. Specifically, if you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

    You may contact the healthcare provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available.

    You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date of the original bill.

    There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on the Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the healthcare provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.

    To learn more or to get a form to start the dispute resolution process, go to www.cms.gov/nosuprises or call HHS’ toll free number: 1-877-696-6775.

    Make sure to keep a copy of your Good Faith Estimate in a safe place or take pictures of it. You may need it if you are billed a higher amount.
