FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTionS
-
No, I am not in-network with any insurance company. Payments are made on the day of each session. For clients who wish to seek reimbursement on their own, I provide a “superbill” you can submit to your insurance and any reimbursement will go directly to you.
If you’re not sure about your coverage, here are some questions you can ask your insurance company:
Do I have benefits for out-of-network mental health services?
Does my plan offer coverage for virtual mental health or teletherapy services?
Does my plan offer coverage for couples/family therapy? (CPT codes: 90847-95, 90846-95)
What is my deductible for outpatient mental health services? How much of my deductible has been met this year?
What is my out-of-network coinsurance for outpatient mental health visits?
Does my plan require a referral from an in-network provider or a primary care physician in order to see a provider who is out-of-network?
How do I submit claims for out-of-network reimbursement?

Appointments are available Monday-Thursday from 5 AM to 10 AM EST.

Weekly, to start. I’ve found that in the beginning, weekly meetings are best as I get to know you and to support momentum in the work we’re doing. When things start to feel more solid, we’ll shift to meeting every other week and go from there.
For more ease and consistency in scheduling, each client has their own slot so that we can meet on the same day/time. This helps you fit our meetings into your routine and avoid the hassle of competing for appointments.
-
Yes, it totally can be!! Until 2020, I never planned on offering therapy online, but since then I have been surprised to find that it can be just as effective as meeting with clients in-person.
That being said, online therapy may not be the best option for everyone. We can talk through your concerns and decide whether you’d like to try.
-
As long as partners can be physically together during meetings, and as long as I can see both of your faces and hear both of your voices. Emotion is contagious, even through a screen, and I’m experienced in getting the data I need on a virtual platform!
As with anything, there are cases where this may not be the best option. Let’s talk through any concerns and determine if it’s a fit for your needs.
-
To be honest, it varies. I know this is a frustrating answer for some, but it depends on the person/couple.
My goal with each client is to work myself out of a job. I love to help people learn new skills and build on what they already have so that therapy eventually feels irrelevant!
-
Yes! The foundation of my education and work as a Marriage and Family Therapist is "systemic," meaning that I am trained to consider a client not only based on their individual experiences, but also from a social and relational perspective!
Our relationships have a huge influence on who we are, how we see ourselves, and how we experience the world. So when I work with an individual client, I always consider the relationships in their life.
-
Yes, it can! While some of us do experience ourselves as less emotional and maybe more "logical," emotions are a biological reality for humans!
We are all constantly sending (and receiving) emotional signals in relationships, whether we know it or not. We can work together to discover your signals (even if they’re not so obvious) and unscramble the message.

In addition to my Virginia license, I am authorized to provide services via telehealth in South Carolina (out-of-state credential #844; see registration list here)
Each state has different requirements and standards for out-of-state clinicians. So when you fill out the contact form, let me know what state you’re wondering about - there’s a chance they allow out-of-state licenses to see clients there.
I am also considering obtaining licensure in surrounding areas (Looking at you, D.C. and North Carolina!)
Good Faith Estimate/The “no surprises” ACT
-
Effective January 1, 2022, a ruling went into effect called the “No Surprises Act,” which requires mental health practitioners to provide a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) about out-of-network care to any patient who is uninsured or who is insured but does not plan to use their insurance benefits to pay for health care items and/ or services.
The Good Faith Estimate works to show the cost of items and services that are reasonably expected for your mental health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment.
You are entitled to receive this “Good Faith Estimate” of what the charges could be for psychotherapy services provided to you. While it is not possible for a psychotherapist to know, in advance, how many psychotherapy sessions may be necessary or appropriate for a given person upon the initiation of psychotherapy, this form provides an estimate of the cost of services provided. Your total cost of services will depend upon the number of psychotherapy sessions you attend, your individual circumstances, and the type and amount of services that are provided to you. This estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to obtain any services from the provider(s) listed, nor does it include any services rendered to you that are not identified here.
