Fees and Insurance
Please call to obtain my current fee. I do have a limited number of slots for lower-fee clients. If appropriate, I will work with you to set a fee that is acceptable to us both.
I accept checks or cash; once we have established a treatment relationship I will also accept Venmo, google wallet, or PayPal payments. Payment is made at the time of the session. I am not on any insurance panels, but if you have a PPO (out-of-network provider plan) I will provide a statement for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement directly to you. Please call your insurance company to be sure it accepts out-of-network providers.

The First Session
Typically I prefer only a brief initial phone call to find out what you are looking for. In order to see if we will be a good match, it's important to meet face-to-face so you can have a direct experience of talking with me. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, and towards the end of the session we'll discuss your experience and whether it feels like a good fit between us. You can ask me any questions that have come up during the session. If we decide to work together, we'll arrange a time that's mutually convenient to meet at least once a week. In some cases, more frequent meetings can be helpful; we will decide together if more frequent meetings are indicated.
If for any reason you feel that I am not the right therapist for you, I will provide a referral to a competent clinician who I think would better meet your needs.
