Frequently Asked Questions

How much do sessions cost?

My fees are generally set at $200/therapy or coaching session and between $250-$300/couples therapy session. I accept check or debit/credit cards. I currently am offering a few sliding scale spots available for queer, trans, and BIPOC folks unable to pay my full fee. If you are interested in utilizing sliding scale, please reach out to learn more.

I am not in-network with any insurance companies at this time. Please see the insurance statement below and check with your provider to see if you have "out-of-network" benefits if you are seeking insurance reimbursement.

Using Out-of-network benefits: Clinical Services may be covered in part or in full by your health insurance plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking your provider these questions:

  • Do I have "out-of-network" mental health insurance benefits?

  • What is my deductible and has it been met?

  • What is my "co-insurance"?

  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

  • What is the coverage amount per session?

  • Is approval required from my primary care doctor?

  • In instances where out-of-network benefits are covered, you will be responsible for payment at the time of service and your insurance will reimburse your expenses.

Benefits to Paying out of Pocket:

Insurance companies mandate a diagnosis, oversee your health records, and may seek access to your information while in therapy. They also may limit your coverage to a set number of therapy sessions per year, regardless of what you're going through. When considering the implications of using insurance, paying out-of-pocket is a better fit for some.

Do you offer in person sessions?

At this time, I do not provide in person sessions. All our meetings are held remotely over Zoom.

How often do we meet?

For therapy clients, I typically meet with clients weekly, as consistency is key in effective therapy outcomes. Some of my clients will move to meeting every other week, typically after a year of weekly, consistent work together.

For gender coaching, we will determine what amount of sessions feels most appropriate for you given your specific goals and interests.

What does culturally responsive therapy mean?

As a culturally responsive therapist, I respond to and center your cultural identities as we explore you unique, lived experience in therapy together. I define culture as any group with shared beliefs and experience. This can include someone’s ethnicity, racial identity, gender or sexual identity, income level, disability, body size, etc.

I approach each person’s experience with a sense of cultural humility, or a knowledge that I am not an expert in anyone’s cultural background or community experience, even if we happen to share a cultural identity.

What are the next steps if I’m interested in working together?
