I accept Cigna and Wellfleet insurances. Keep in mind that most insurance panels will reimburse you for out of network benefits and I can help you with this.
My fees range from $225-$300 per session. I do reserve some sliding scale slots which depend on your financial situation and my availability. Again, keep in mind that most insurance panels will reimburse you for out of network benefits.
Fess can be submitted using Chase Quick Pay or Zelle.
If you need to reschedule an appointment, please do so within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment time to avoid paying the full session fee. No-show appointments will also result in a full session fee.
Whether you're thinking about meeting with me for the first time or are already a client, I can be reached by phone and email. I offer a free 10 minute phone consultation so we can talk about your needs and you can ask questions. If you're unsure about your next step, please contact me and we can talk about what might be best for you.
There are many reasons for seeking therapy and the most common thread is that there is something unsettling in your life. Therapy with me will enable you to talk things out in a safe, trusted and non-judgmental place so you can face your challenges and begin the change process. Or perhaps you're unsure if you are even ready for therapy and that is equally important so let's talk about any ambivalence you may have towards therapy and change. Know that I will start wherever you are.
During our time together, I will be helping you to explore areas in your life in order to allow for new and different experiences and ideas. Our journey together will be a secure place for you to share, feel, reveal and discuss. Confidentiality is always one of my highest priorities to ensure a trusting relationship. ​Individual sessions are 45 minutes and family sessions are 50 minutes.
At our first session, we will talk about your reasons for coming to therapy and what areas in your life you would like to see changed and improved. Goals can be defined and prioritized here, too.
While in person sessions are recommended, I also offer tele-therapy. Home or community visits are also available and will depend on scheduling and location. If you prefer tele-therapy, it will be most beneficial for us to meet in person for the first session.
Everything that we discuss is strictly confidential and will not be disclosed even after treatment ends unless you sign an informed consent form. However, I am obligated to break confidentiality if there is suspected abuse or neglect of another person and/or if there is a reason to suspect that you are in imminent danger of harming yourself or another person.
There may be times when medication can provide added benefits in conjunction with our talk therapy. We can explore this alternative together to decide if it may be right for you. If so, you can talk with your medical provider or I can refer you to a psychiatrist who will perform a full assessment then make recommendations for you. Always remember that it's your choice whether you want to take medication or not.
Thank you for contacting me; I will get back to you as soon as possible.
