Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! I provide individual, couples/relationship, and family therapy to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. This includes straight/heterosexual people and cisgender people (people whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth).

We’ll discuss what prompted you to seek therapy, background information, and what you hope for our work together.

Yes. I am legally and ethically bound to maintain confidentiality. There are a few exceptions which I’ll explain to you in detail if we work together. For instance, if I have reason to think someone is at risk of significantly hurting themself or someone else, then as a mandated reporter I have to tell the appropriate and relevant people to ensure safety.

For the foreseeable future, I am only providing teletherapy.

Yes. To ensure confidentiality and ease of care, I use a platform that is HIPAA-compliant, free, and easy to use.

Yes. If therapy costs are prohibitive, I hope you’ll ask me about sliding scale options.

I am not in network with any insurance companies but depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to receive partial reimbursement for therapy. To find out your benefits, you can call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask questions such as:

1. Do I have out of network benefits for outpatient mental health care?

2. Is there a limit as to how many sessions I can attend?

3. How much will I be reimbursed?

4. Do I have a deductible?

I can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

No but I can refer you to a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner if needed.
