What can I expect during my first session?

During your first session, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other! I’ll ask about your current concerns, your background, and what you hope to achieve in therapy. This helps me understand your needs so we can create a plan together. It’s a chance for you to ask any questions about the process too!

How long is each therapy session?

Each individual session typically lasts 50 minutes and each group session typically lasts 75 min. We’ll work together to make the most of that time, focusing on your goals and concerns.

How many therapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your individual needs and goals. Some people benefit from just a few sessions, while others may want longer-term support. We’ll regularly assess your progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Do you accept insurance?

While I don’t directly accept insurance, I can provide you with a super bill after each session, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. This allows you to take advantage of any out-of-network benefits your plan offers.

What are the benefits to Out-of-Network care?

Choosing to work with a therapist outside of your insurance network can feel like a big decision—but it often comes with meaningful benefits that support deeper, more individualized care.

• More Privacy & Confidentiality
  Your personal information stays between you and your therapist. Out-of-network care means less paperwork and fewer details shared with insurance companies.

• Freedom & Flexibility
  You have more say in your therapy—how often we meet, how long we work together, and what we focus on aren’t dictated by insurance limitations.

• Focused, Personalized Support
  Without insurance constraints, therapy can move at your pace, tailored to your unique needs and goals—whether you’re navigating eating concerns, trauma, or body image struggles.

What are the benefits to a superbill?

Maximize Your Benefits: Many insurance plans offer partial or full reimbursement for therapy services. A super bill allows you to take advantage of this coverage.

• Easy Submission: The super bill includes all the necessary information your insurance company needs, such as diagnosis codes and session details, making the reimbursement process simpler for you.

• Flexibility: Whether you're working with an out-of-network insurance plan or just prefer to submit claims yourself, the super bill gives you the flexibility to access the benefits that are available to you.

• Save on Costs: By submitting the super bill, you may reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for therapy, helping to make mental health care more affordable.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or facing life challenges, therapy can be a helpful space to explore your thoughts and feelings. It’s normal to feel unsure at first, but taking that first step can bring new insights and support. If you’re ever uncertain, we can discuss whether therapy is the right fit for your current needs.

What should I do if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Life happens! If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged in full for the session. This allows me to offer your spot to someone else who may need it.

Will my sessions be confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a top priority! What we discuss in sessions stays between us, with a few important exceptions. I’ll review the confidentiality policy with you at the beginning of our work together.

How do I prepare for therapy?

No need to worry about “preparing” for therapy- come exactly as you are! Just bring your thoughts, feelings, and any questions you may have. It’s helpful to reflect on what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve, but there’s no right or wrong way to start.

What types of therapy approaches do you use?

I offer a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs, including (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Feminist and Trauma-Informed Care, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Internal Family Systems therapy and Person- Centered Therapy). We’ll work together to find the best approach for you!
