FAQ
Where is your office located?
I’m providing sessions via telehealth. So, my office is your living room!
When are you available?
I currently have availability on weekday afternoons.
How long are our sessions?
Where should I be during my virtual therapy session?
For us to have a session, you need to be in a private, quiet, stationary place, where you can be fully present and attentive to our conversation.
Even if you feel comfortable having a family member hear your sessions, I need to ensure that no one else can listen to us unless we’ve discussed having someone else join us.
Do you take insurance?
I am an “out-of-network” provider, meaning I do not work with your insurance company directly. Still, I’m happy to provide you with a monthly “superbill” for submission to your insurance company for reimbursement.
I realize this can be a financial burden for some, but I decided not to accept insurance for several reasons.
First, insurance companies limit the length and duration of our work together.
Second, insurance companies also require that I give you a specific diagnosis and document the “medical necessity” of treatment. This requirement means that I must share a lot of information about you that isn’t any of their business.
Finally, I’ve also found that every hour I spend submitting insurance claims and arguing with insurance companies is an hour that I’m not providing therapy and support to my clients.

Who are your clients?
Are our sessions private?
Your privacy is paramount. Therefore, all telehealth sessions occur on a secure, encrypted platform. I take every precaution to maintain your privacy.
There are three situations where I must break confidentiality as required by law. They include the following: if you are planning to hurt yourself or someone else or if a child is in danger. In these situations, I must contact the authorities and do everything possible to keep you and everyone else safe.
I don’t have trauma; do I still need therapy?
People come to therapy for a wide variety of reasons. If there’s something in your life that you’re not happy with, whether it’s big or small, I’d love to support you in addressing it.
Will I have homework between sessions?
Like with anything else in life, the more we practice what we learn in therapy, the better we get at it. Homework is often helpful for discussing goals you’d like to accomplish in between sessions. This homework could be anything from discussing a difficult topic with your partner to applying for jobs or cleaning your kitchen.
We’ll decide on your goal together, and if you find you cannot accomplish it, we’ll discuss the barriers and let them inform our decisions about what goals to set going forward. I won’t judge or send you to detention if you don’t do your homework!
