Therapy Services & Treatment Approaches

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take Insurance?

I am not paneled with any insurance plans.  I do provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance plan.  You may contact your insurance plan and ask how much they reimburse for billing code 90834 or 90837.  I offer telehealth services to clients with Concern and Lyra EAPs.

How much does therapy cost?

I currently charge $180 for a 45-50 minute session.

What can I expect during a therapy session?

Therapy can benefit anyone navigating acute challenges or seeking personal growth, especially if emotional issues, persistent worry, or recent life changes interfere with daily functioning. Common signs it may be time to seek support include ongoing sleep disruptions, trouble managing relationships, a lingering sense of emptiness, or losing interest in activities that once brought joy.
