Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, I accept clients who have the following insurance providers: AETNA, Optum, and UnitedHealthcare. I also accept out-of-pocket payments.

What areas of mental health do you specialize in?

My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress/burnout management, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma and recovery, women's issues and faith-based therapy.

How does online therapy work?

Online therapy, or telehealth, allows you to attend therapy sessions from the comfort of your home using a secure video platform. It provides convenience and flexibility while maintaining the same level of care as in-person sessions.

Is telehealth therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Research shows that telehealth therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many mental health issues. My approach is tailored to ensure you receive high-quality care remotely.

How do you ensure client privacy and confidentiality in online sessions?

I use secure, HIPAA-compliant video platforms and follow strict ethical guidelines to protect your privacy and confidentiality during online sessions.

How long are therapy sessions?

Sessions are 50 minutes long and are booked on a weekly basis. 

How often should we have sessions? 

I recommend that my clients see me weekly regardless of their current emotional state or life stressors. 

How long should I attend therapy and when will I see results?

Therapy is not something that only should be utilized in a crisis. Instead reoccurring therapy can be preventative and helps my client's proactively prepare for unforeseen challenges while increasing their insight.
