Simplifying Your Journey to Better Mental Health

All sessions are conducted online through a HIPAA-compliant video platform. You’ll receive a secure link after scheduling your appointment.

During the consultation, you can share what’s bringing you to therapy, ask any questions, and get a sense of whether we’re the right fit for each other. If it feels like a match, we’ll schedule your first session. If not, I’ll provide you with referrals and resources to help you find the support you’re looking for.

The first therapy session is called an intake appointment. Before your session, you’ll complete some paperwork through an online portal, including medical history and consent forms. During the intake, we’ll discuss your concerns, explore therapy options, and develop a collaborative plan to help you meet your goals. If you’re not sure what your goals are, that’s okay—we’ll figure it out together. We can continue to revisit your goals, and modify the treatment plan together as needed.

Finding the right therapist is about more than credentials—it’s about connection. In our first few sessions, notice how you feel: Do you feel comfortable and supported? It’s okay if it takes time to decide. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll gladly help you find someone who is. Your comfort and progress are my priority.

The length of therapy depends on your goals and symptoms. Some people benefit from short-term, goal-oriented sessions, while others prefer ongoing support. Together, we’ll determine a schedule that works for you.

I am out of network with all commercial insurance plans. Many plans offer reimbursement for therapy services, depending on your out-of-network benefits. You are welcome to contact your insurance company to verify your benefits. Some helpful questions to ask about your coverage (for both in-network and out of network coverage) includes:

1. Coverage for out-of-network behavioral health services

2. Out-of-network deductible and reimbursement rate

3. Steps for submitting claims

It is entirely up to you whether you would like to utilize your out of network benefits. If you choose to use out of network benefits, I can provide a monthly Super Bill for you to use to submit the claim. To simplify the process of accessing out of network benefits, I partner with Mentaya- a company that submits insurance claims on your behalf and can get you reimbursed 50-80% for therapy using “out of network benefits.” To see if you qualify you can just enter the info from your insurance card in their calculator using THIS link.

Mentaya have a team of support and insurance specialists who can dig in to any question you have and they are really responsive. Just email support@mentaya.com with any questions.

Using Mentaya for reimbursement is entirely optional, and it won't affect your therapy service quality or availability. Imdo not benefit from your choice to use Mentaya. My goal is to support your well-being.

Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee. Please notify me as soon as possible if you need to reschedule.

You can reschedule directly through the patient portal or contact me via phone or secure message.

Generally we start with weekly sessions for the first few appointments to ensure you have a good foundation of tools, then adjust as needed. Some people benefit from a few targeted sessions, others continue with weekly or bi-monthly therapy. Once symptoms are stable, we can move to monthly, check-in as needed, or develop a plan that aligns with your needs. We can continue to assess and modify as needed.
