    Can we talk before I come in?
    - I am happy to offer an initial telephone consultation at no cost prior to setting up an appointment. During the conversation we can discuss why you’re seeking therapy and whether therapy is the right choice (fit) for you. Please note this conversation is a brief informal consultation lasting 15 minutes or so. If you decide you would like to come in we can schedule an appointment.

    Is therapy confidential?
    - Therapists are bound by confidentiality, which means unless you are a danger to yourself or others, or have knowledge of abuse of a child, what is said in my office stays in my office.

    Does my insurance cover therapy?
    - Some insurances cover psychotherapy, but I do not accept insurance. However, if your insurance offers out of network coverage benefits, I will provide you with documentation needed for you to obtain reimbursement.

    Concerns about payment should not prevent you from seeking help. If you are concerned about cost, please contact me and I will work with you to develop a payment plan that is comfortable for you.

    I do accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
