You might be wondering...
Yes. I offer secure video sessions for clients throughout the United States. Online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for most concerns, and many clients prefer the convenience of meeting from home.
It depends on your goals and what you’re working through. Some people find relief in just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term work. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy is moving at the right pace for you.
I am an out-of-network provider. I provide superbills (detailed receipts) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many PPO plans offer out-of-network benefits.
The first session is about getting to know each other. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, your history, and your goals. It’s also a chance for you to see if you feel comfortable working with me.
