Have a question you’d like to ask? Check out the answers to the FAQs below, and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any additional questions.
How do I get started?
After you get in contact with me, we'll have a brief conversation about the concerns you are facing to see if I am the best fit. I will arrange your first appointment and provide information regarding intake forms, payment method, and the ease of online teletherapy. Most importantly, I will answer any additional questions you might have.
What will happen at my first appointment?
The first appointment is a chance to get acquainted and for me to share information. I will gather further details on what brings you to therapy and the goals you would like to achieve. I will also address confidentiality, appointment cancellation, and financial policies.
What does affirming therapy mean?
Affirming therapy does not operate from a deficit model. I meet you where you are. I emphasize your strengths, prioritize your needs, and focus on your challenges. I take your lived experience and center it as being intrinsically important to the therapeutic process. Go to my Services Page and scroll down to get more information about how I provide affirming therapy for each of my specializations.
What are my payment options?
My fee is $175 per session I and accept credit cards and debit cards. Using insurance can be crucial to obtaining therapy. Thus, I do provide superbills that help you to use your out-of-network insurance benefits.
