I'm available to meet with clients for virtual sessions during this time via phone or video call using Zoom, Skype or FaceTime. This is a great option for stay at home parents, commuters, and people who travel for work. Weekday and Sunday openings are available.
Fees & Payment
My full fee is $225 for individual sessions and $275 for family and couple’s sessions. Sessions are 55 minutes unless otherwise arranged, extended sessions are charged at a prorated basis. Rates may change, but as a client, you will be provided adequate notice of any increases in advance and we can work together to find a treatment plan that works within your limitations. Fees are payable by credit card, debit card, cash, check, FSA/HSA card or money order.
Insurance
Many clients are able to receive insurance reimbursement for our sessions if they have out-of-network coverage or a PPO plan. I can provide you with the paperwork necessary to submit to your insurance company. Please contact your insurance company directly to inquire about your eligibility. You can also use you FSA and HSA funds for psychotherapy since it is considered a medical service.

The information discussed in therapy is strictly confidential and will only be released with your written permission. There are exceptions to this policy: If you are a danger to yourself or someone else, or if there is some evidence of child or vulnerable adult abuse, I am legally mandated to report and to seek assistance from outside agencies.
