Are you affiliated with any insurance companies?
I am a provider for Wellspring EAP. Otherwise, I’m out-of-network (OON). However, if you'd like to submit your session to your insurance company I can provide the appropriate paperwork.
How am I billed?
I accept cash, check or credit cards which is due at the time of your session, unless we make other arrangements. I also use IVY PAY that accepts credit cards and HSA accounts.
What is your cancelation policy?
I require a minimum of 24-hours’ notice but prefer 48-hours’ notice. If you cancel the day of your appointment, you will be charged your full fee.
How often ‘should’ we meet?
Most people meet with me for 60 to 75 minutes, once a week. Sometimes there will be a situation that needs more care and we will meet twice a week. Each person’s needs are different. I work with people both short-term and long-term and I will make my suggestions based on the information you present but it is always up to you to determine how often we meet and how long you choose to continue counseling sessions.
What models of therapy do you use in counseling?
Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I am most comfortable as a person-centered humanistic therapist with a transpersonal belief system. My approach is wholistic and sees the processes of each person as unique. I offer a Jungian (depth psychology) based philosophy which means I follow your seen and unseen patterns, dreams, and underlying issues that are often something you might not be unaware of. We will work together, learn, share and find new ways to approach life.
