Frequently Asked Questions

.

How do I use out-of-network insurance benefits?

Many plans have out-of-network (OON) benefits. Please check your summary of benefits or contact your insurance provider to ask how much your plan reimburses for OON therapy sessions. You can also use this tool for more information (NPI 1093381626). Please email me if you have any questions.

What happens during an initial consultation call?

We'll talk about what you want to work on in therapy and answer specific questions about my approach. We'll also talk about scheduling, insurance, and what sessions are like. This helps to see if what I offer is a good fit for what you are looking for.

3

What's your therapy style and approach?

I use a relational approach that values the importance of building trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship. This helps me see and work with your unique set of challenges, strengths, and priorities. I tailor my approach to the person and hold a deep sense of curiosity to who you are.

4

Can I get a letter or documentation from you?

I do not offer evaluations for accommodations such as FMLA, disability, or eligibility for Emotional Support Animal. You can work with your primary care physician to determine appropriate referrals for your needs.

5

Do you use artificial intelligence (AI) in your practice?

The security of your private health information is one of my top priorities to ensure. I do not audio or video record in my practice. I also do not use AI for record-keeping, blog posts, or preparations for sessions.
