It depends on the person and their situation. I have worked with people who have resolved the issue they came in for within a few months and I have worked with people for several years. Many times, we will begin to resolve one issue and discover many more lurking below the surface.
I am not the kind of therapist that limits clients to a set number of sessions, nor am I the kind of therapist that strings people along after they are ready to terminate therapy. How long it takes is completely up to you and we can work together to determine what is best for you.
We will initially meet at the same day & time each week. If weekly appointments are challenging for family sessions due to completing schedules, we may meet at the same day and time every 2 weeks. Weekly scheduling is preferred at the onset of therapy due to the volume and intensity of work at the beginning. We may step down to bi-weekly or once monthly as goals are met and therapy progresses.
I have worked with many patients on and off over the years; I love seeing how much my clients have grown and helping them build off of earlier work when they need it.
Finding the right therapist can be tricky. You want someone who "gets it" and who also has the skills and expertise you need. You want someone you can feel comfortable with and trust. That takes time.
The easiest way to get there? Take a look around the site and then schedule your free 15 minute consultation with me.

You are not paying me for my time. You are paying me for results.
Investing your time and money in therapy means you are at a point in your life where you know you cannot continue the path you are on and you are ready to get to work to make some changes. It's a big step, and you and your loved ones are worth your investment.
My practice offers the following complimentary features for my clients:
- 24/7 Online scheduling
- HIPAA compliant individual messaging between sessions as needed

- Crisis scheduling as needed
- Additional appointment scheduling as warranted
- Provision of financial documentation for reimbursement, taxes, and record keeping
There are several ways your counseling fees may be covered or reimbursed, including HSA, HRA, or FSA accounts, reimbursement through your employer, and / or out of network benefits through your insurance. If you would like to use insurance, call the number on the back of your insurance card to verify out-of-network outpatient mental health teletherapy benefits.
I will automatically provide a document (known as a Superbill) to you each month outlining what services have been rendered and the amount you have paid for said services. This document may be used for fee coverage or reimbursement as noted above. You may also deduct your therapy payments from your taxes (see your tax preparer or accountant for details).
Professional counseling fees are set for the following services:
- Initial Intake, 60 minutes, $250
- Ongoing Sessions, 45-60 minutes, $220
- Extended Sessions & Family Therapy, 75 - 90 minutes, $330 (these sessions are not billed to insurance)
While I am In-Network with Evernorth/Cigna, your plan's terms and conditions will determine your specific coverage. If you would like to use insurance, call the number on the back of your insurance card to verify outpatient mental health teletherapy benefits.
I will never use AI to record or facilitate the process of documentation of our work together and have deactivated the ability for my clinical software to use AI Assist. Recording sessions using AI or any other recording device by clients or myself within my practice is strictly prohibited.
Some clients find it helpful to use AI between sessions to clarify, validate, and organize their thoughts. I encourage them to bring what they have found through the use of AI into session so that we may discuss and reflect.
