Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Reach out to me–either send an email, give a call, or submit a response on the contact page. I will then follow up with you and we can schedule a 15-minute free consultation. This gives us a chance to see if it feels like a good connection. If so, I’ll send you the new client paperwork and we will schedule our first appointment. The first few appointments will be an opportunity to see if we are a good fit–the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of successful therapy.

Telehealth allows us to meet over a secure video platform that is confidential. You will need a computer or smartphone and a reliable Internet connection. It provides a lot of flexibility and enables us to meet wherever you're located in Virginia–at home, work, or even in a non-moving (important!) vehicle. It also saves on travel time and allows for less disruption of your busy schedule. Research has shown virtual therapy is equally as effective for most types of therapy as in-person sessions.

It’s a 15-minute free opportunity for us to chat and discuss what's bringing you to therapy. We'll use a secure video platform so that you get a chance to see how it feels to meet online. This is a chance to see if you like my approach and if I can help you on your journey.

I do not accept insurance for payment at this time. I understand that therapy can be expensive and that insurance can be very useful for covering the cost. I will provide you with a receipt or "superbill" every month so that you can submit this to insurance for reimbursement. I would recommend contacting your insurance carrier to see how much they will cover for an out-of-network mental health provider.
