Therapy is a significant investment, emotionally as well as financially, but one that offers potentially life changing rewards. I’m happy to answer any questions about therapy, or my office policies. It’s important to me that you feel you’re in the right place.

Please call or email to schedule a free phone consultation.

Individual sessions are generally 50 minutes, on a weekly basis. I do work with individuals less frequently once we have worked together for a period of time. Therapy is most effective if we are able to meet consistently.

Most couples sessions are 75 minutes. I see couples weekly or every other week, depending on a variety of factors—what I think is clinically advised while taking into account the cost, scheduling, or other considerations.

I try to return all calls within 24 hours. You are welcome to use my cell phone anytime. If there is something of a timely nature, please call or text rather than email. I will assume it is all right for me to leave confidential messages on your phone unless you tell me otherwise.

Please be aware that my email is not encrypted, and that confidentiality with email can be easily compromised. For this reason I suggest using email only for scheduling and logistics.

I am not on any insurance panels, though I can write a statement for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. I would be considered an out-of-network provider. I can also write statements (which do not require a diagnosis) for Health Savings Accounts or Flexible Spending Accounts.

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours prior to your appointment are charged at the full rate of the session.
