FAQs
Do You Offer online therapy?
Yes, I do. In fact, I’ve converted my therapy practice to all online therapy for residents of Maryland and Delaware. We meet through a HIPAA compliant online portal.
Where are you located?
I no longer have a brick and mortar space. We’ll meet virtually through my online portal.
Do you take insurance?
I'm an out of network provider so I don't take insurance. You can contact your insurance company to find out if they reimburse for out-of-network, mental health services. I do accept flexible spending, or health savings credit cards.
How much do your services cost?
I charge $250 for the first hour long session and $185 for our ongoing 45 minute sessions.
I accept Cash, Checks or Credit Cards, including FSA and HSA cards.
Financial concerns? I'm also affiliated with Open Path Psychotherapy Collective, a nonprofit leader in helping people access affordable, high quality psychotherapy services.
What goes on in counseling?
We talk, laugh, cry, celebrate victories and process troubled experiences. A lot of what happens depends on you and what your goals are. I'll be present with you in each session, listening, supporting, providing insight, and encouraging you as you progress through your journey.
I believe that all of our wounded parts deserve to, and can heal.
How often do we meet?
This depends on both of our schedules! Initially, I recommend once per week. It helps the therapy work progress more quickly.
Do you tell my doctors or family what goes on in therapy?
Only if you want me to. If there are concerns that you feel should be communicated directly to your physician or family I'm happy to do it, but I'll only share what you want me to. There are some exceptions/limitations on what information is shared and with whom, and we will discuss that in greater detail when you begin therapy.
Do I have to lie on a couch and talk the whole time?
You can lie on your own couch if you want, but I like being able to see you face!
You'll probably do most of the talking, but I won’t sit silently. I'll provide support, education, encouragement, and humor when appropriate. I might also guide you in a meditation from time to time if you're game!
Are you going to try to tell me what to do or how to think?
Nope, I'll work with you towards better understand your parts that might make it hard to navigate a problem. You know how you feel and you’ll be the guide.
How does therapy help?
What a great question! Therapy can help you to manage your stress and anxiety in healthier ways. It provides a safe, non-judgmental space to listen to and heal your wounded parts. We might also explore alternative grounding and relaxation strategies.
Do you see couples? Or children?
No I don’t, but I have amazing colleagues who do! I do individual therapy for adults. If you need couple's or children's therapy you can contact me for possible referrals!
If you're ready to make some changes, to live your life with more purpose, to feel more connected to your Self energy and to others I'm ready to work with you!
