TIMES AND AVAILABILITY

To see what times I have open for session on those days click here.

I try to meet with anyone who reaches out for help.

There are, however, limits to the number of people I can actively work with at any given time. If I’m unable to work with you myself, chances are I can help you find a good fit. I also keep a waitlist.

INSURANCE

If you wish to use insurance, I will provide you with receipts coded to insurance industry specifications. You can submit these receipts to your insurance company for partial reimbursement. 

I am a Lyra network provider.  

I will be out of network for all other insurances.  

Anyone choosing to use insurance for therapy should be aware that all insurance companies require the therapist to provide a psychiatric diagnosis which will enter your medical record. Without a psychiatric diagnosis, insurance companies will not reimburse for psychotherapy services.

If you intend to use your insurance, please check your coverage carefully by asking your plan’s representative the following questions:

* Do I have mental health benefits?

* What is my annual deductible?

* How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?

* How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?

* What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

* Is prior authorization required from my primary care physician?
