The first session will focus on doing an assessment, getting to know you, and building rapport. The first session is also a good chance for you to see if my style is a good fit for your needs.

My private pay rate is $135. If you would like to use insurance, I am in network with multiple insurances (see the insurance section) and the amount you will pay will depend on your insurance type and plan. I will run an insurance verification prior to starting therapy so you will know what your cost will be ahead of time.

My preference is to start with weekly therapy sessions so that we can really start to make progress on your issues. However, I am flexible with this as I realize many people have financial and time restrictions.

My policy is that you give me at least 24 hours notice prior to a scheduled session if you need to cancel or it will incur a fee. However, if I am able to get you in sometime during the same week, I am glad to reschedule you for another day to avoid the fee.

The pace of therapy and the changes you will make all depend on you and what you have going on in your life. As a result, predicting the length of therapy isn’t really possible. The average length of therapy is around 6 months though, but if varies for everyone.
