Frequently Asked Questions

I require 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations. If you cancel within that window, the full session fee will be charged unless you are able to reschedule within the same working week. This policy helps ensure availability for all clients and supports consistency in care.

I do not accept insurance directly, but I can provide a receipt called a superbill. You may submit this to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement, depending on your specific plan and coverage.

Before starting therapy, you may want to contact your insurance company and ask:

• Do I have coverage for therapy services?

• Does my plan include out-of-network mental health benefits?

• What is the reimbursement rate for an LCSW provider?

• Do I have an annual deductible, and how much has already been met?

You may also be able to use funds from a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for psychotherapy. Please check with your employer or HR department to confirm eligibility.

I am trained in a variety of counseling approaches to support individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD or CPTSD. Therapy is tailored to each client’s needs, goals, and pace. You are welcome to explore my individual therapy and modalities page to learn more about the approaches I use.

Therapy may be helpful if you feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in recurring patterns, disconnected from yourself or others, or impacted by past experiences. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many clients seek support for personal growth, emotional clarity, and healthier relationships.

The first session is a space to begin building safety and understanding. We will talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to work on, and any questions you may have. There is no pressure to share more than feels comfortable.

Most clients begin with weekly sessions to establish consistency and support. Over time, session frequency may shift based on your goals, progress, and availability. We will decide together what feels most supportive.

Yes. Therapy can help explore how early experiences and relational patterns continue to shape emotional responses, beliefs, and behaviors today. Developing awareness of these patterns often creates space for greater self-compassion and change.

The length of therapy varies. Some clients benefit from short-term work focused on specific concerns, while others engage in longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns. We will regularly check in to ensure therapy continues to meet your needs.

Yes. Confidentiality is a foundational part of therapy. Information shared in sessions remains private, with a few legal and ethical exceptions that will be reviewed during your first appointment.
