  • Description text goes hereWe don’t participate with any insurance companies, but many clients are able to receive partial reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits. To learn what your plan covers, call the number on your card and ask: - Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits? - What’s covered for individual therapy (CPT 90834), couples or family therapy (CPT 90847), or group ther- Is there a deductible I need to meet? - What’s the maximum allowable reimbursement per session? I’ll provide a monthly statement ('superbill') with the required information to submit for reimbursement. Full payment is due at the time of service.

  • Yes — CBT and DBT are two of the most thoroughly studied therapies available, with strong evidence supporting their effectiveness for:

    • Depression

    • Generalized anxiety

    • PTSD

    • Social anxiety and other phobias

    • Relationship difficulties

    • Emotion dysregulation and BPD

  • - Evidence-Based: Backed by hundreds of research studies.

    - Focused: Oriented toward change — not just talking.

    - Efficient: Often shorter-term than traditional therapies.

    - Cost-Effective: Tools and skills that reduce relapse and support independence.

    - Enduring: What you learn stays with you long after therapy ends.

  • It depends on your goals. Some clients work with me for just a few months to focus on a specific issue; others stay longer to do deeper or more comprehensive work. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy continues to be helpful and aligned with what you want.

  • That’s totally normal. Most people don’t come in with a map — that’s what we figure out together.

    In our consultation and early sessions, we’ll clarify what’s going on, what’s getting in the way, and what kind of structure, support, or skills might help. You don’t need to know the right acronym. You just need to know what you’re hoping for — and I’ll guide the process from there.

  • The best first step is a free 20-minute phone consultation. It’s a chance to ask questions, share what’s on your mind, and see if working together feels like a good fit.
