Frequently Asked Questions

Your intake forms must be completed at least 24 hours before we meet. After reviewing your forms, we'll take some time to understand what brings you to therapy. The first few sessions will be focused on getting to know more about you and your history so that we can determine your goals for working together.

Before your session, take time to set up your laptop/ smartphone/ tablet. Make sure your device has a working camera, microphone and reliable internet access. Start session in a safe and private space where you feel comfortable. I also recommend clients keeping a pen and paper handy for their own notes during session.

Individual therapy sessions are typically scheduled at the same time weekly for 53 minutes.

If you are not yet a client, please e-mail to ask about services and future openings. If you are a current client, you may use your portal to message me. That is the preferred method of communication for privacy and HIPAA compliance. I do not provide emergency services. Email should never be used to seek emergency mental health support during a crisis as your message may not be immediately received. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please dial 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. You may also contact the 24 hour Maryland Helpline at 211, press 1 or text your zip code to 898-211.

$215 for Initial Evaluation (60 minutes) $175 for Individual Psychotherapy (53 minutes)

Currently, I am a fee-for-service provider. Although I am out of network with insurance companies, my services do qualify for patient reimbursement. Session fees are collected directly from you, however I am able to provide a superbill (statement of services) for you to apply for reimbursement with your insurance company. Please contact your insurance company to determine your outpatient mental health benefits before your first appointment. Questions to Ask Your Insurance Company Does my plan offer out-of-network mental health benefits? Are telehealth appointments covered? If I have an annual deductible, has it been met for this year? When does my plan's calendar year start? What percentage does the insurance pay per visit for out-of-network therapy services? For assistance with reimbursements, check out Mentaya

Fees are due at the time of service. Cash, credit cards, health and flexible spending cards are accepted for payment.

If you do not show up for your scheduled session and you have not provided at least 48 hours notice, you will be charged the full cost of your missed session. Please note that your session time is reserved for you only and cannot be filled by a waitlist client without proper notice.
