No, I do not accept insurance. I do provide superbills if you have out-of-network reimbursement. See instructions for that in the question below.

Step One: Call your insurance company. Their member services number should be on the back of your card.

Step Two: Ask if you have “out-of-network” benefits for mental health care. They may ask, “outpatient or inpatient?” Working with me is considered outpatient care.

Step Three: Find out if you have a deductible that must be met before coverage kicks in. If so, ask them how much you need to pay before your insurance begins to reimburse you for out-of-pocket fees.

Step Four: Ask how much your plan will reimburse you for outpatient mental health services. This percentage of the maximum allowed amount is the amount you would receive as reimbursement.

You are solely responsible to research and know if you will be reimbursed by your insurance.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a research-backed approach that helps couples identify and heal the negative patterns driving conflict and disconnection.

It focuses on creating emotional safety so partners can reconnect, feel understood, and build a stronger bond.

The Gottman Method is a proven approach to couples therapy that teaches partners how to communicate without escalating into conflict.

It focuses on practical tools for managing disagreements, strengthening friendship, and building lasting trust.

No. Intensives are available to married couples, long-term partners, co-parents, and those in committed relationships.

I'm so honored and humbled that you want to work with me. Please fill out the contact me form or send me an email and let me know what you are looking for.

We'll connect and see if we can get creative to help meet your needs. Although I primarily offer couples therapy, I do offer options for individual therapy and family therapy on a case-by-case basis.

Intensives
A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking to reserve your intensive. Please note that if you cancel within two weeks of your scheduled assessment, or do not attend your appointment, the full program fee will be charged to your card.

Workshops
Full payment is due upon booking to secure your spot. If you cancel more than two weeks before the workshop date, you will receive a full refund minus a 10% processing fee. Cancellations made within two weeks of the workshop will receive a credit (valid for one year) that can be applied to a future class. If a workshop is canceled by the host, you will receive a full refund.

I'll say it again, your time is valuable. If we are having to stop and go because kids need your attention (we're all parents here, it is a real thing, I totally get it) it does take away from the flow and can make it difficult to really hash out and have the tough conversations that you need to. And let's face it, many of the topics you need to talk about aren't for kid ears - they'll grow up soon enough. Coming in without children will be a great practice step in you reinvesting into your relationship, making time for each other.

That said, I understand some parents have extenuating circumstances. Please contact me and we can discuss your specific needs.

My workshops are not therapy. They are designed to provide education, tools, and guided practice that help you strengthen your relationship and family.

While I bring my background and expertise into each session, the focus is on practical skills and psychoeducation — not on conducting therapy.

Vegas rules: what happens in therapy, stays in therapy.

But for real ... Safety and privacy is very important to me. There are handful of times where there may be an exception to your confidentiality like:

• You may be a danger to yourself

• You may be a danger to someone else

• There are concerns of danger to children

• There are concerns of danger to a dependent or elder

• You decide to submit a superbill to insurance and they are requesting your records to verify if they will reimburse you

If any of these exceptions needs to happen, I do my very best to give you a heads up. And with insurance, you will always get a say if you want to continue and allow me to submit their requested info.

Another modified exception is my limited secrets policy with my parents. What this means, if one partner is holding on to a secret that has to do with why you are seeking care, I cannot hold onto that secret for you. It puts me in a co-conspirator seat, which is not fair to anyone in the room.

The short of it - you have a right to know upfront what the cost of treatment is. It is my duty to make sure you know!

Here's the legal gist:

Effective January 1, 2022, a ruling went into effect called the "No Surprises Act" which requires practitioners to provide a "Good Faith Estimate" about out-of-network care. The Good Faith Estimate works to show the cost of items and services that are reasonably expected for your healthcare needs for an item or service, a diagnosis, and a reason for therapy. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur and will be provided a new "Good Faith Estimate” should this occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill if you and your therapist have not previously talked about the change and you have not been given an updated good faith estimate.
