Services

15-min phone consultation:

Research shows that the relationship between a therapist and client is the most important factor in successful therapy. Before scheduling a session, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so that we can determine if we’d be a good fit. This is an opportunity for us to explore what you’d like to work on in therapy and for you to ask me any questions you may have.

60-min Virtual Intake Session:

All new clients start with a 60-minute intake session where we continue to explore what has brought you to therapy, gather information about your history, and start to create treatment goals.

45-50-min Virtual Therapy Session:

After an intake session, individual therapy will focus on reaching your treatment goals by building awareness of your current patterns (thoughts, feelings, and behaviors) and how they developed, as well as exploring healthier and more adaptive ways of interacting with yourself and the world.

Private Pay/Out-of-Network

If not using insurance session costs are:

$160 for Intake Session

$150 for Therapy Sessions

I am also able to provide Superbills for anyone with out-of-network benefits. Out-of-network benefits allow people to be partially reimbursed by their insurance provider for services they have already paid for. I can provide questions to ask your insurance company if you’d like to explore this option.

Good Faith Estimate

Clients not using insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges during treatment. Therapy length is different for every client and we will collaborate throughout your treatment to determine how many sessions you may need to to receive the greatest benefit based on your presenting concerns.

In-Network Insurance

I am an in-network provider with Aetna insurance in Virginia and Ohio. Session cost and copays vary by plan. I always recommend that you confirm with Aetna that I am in-network with your specific plan.

I currently use Alma to manage insurance billing. Once we schedule an intake, you will be sent an email to create an account on Alma where you enter your insurance and payment information.

Why Choose Private Pay or Out-of-Network?

  • Complete Privacy & Confidentiality: When you use health insurance, insurance companies require a formal mental health diagnosis that becomes a permanent part of your medical record. They can also audit our session notes to review the intimate details of your life. Private pay keeps your information entirely between us.

  • You Control Your Care: Insurance companies often dictate how many sessions you are allowed, how long they can be, and what type of therapy we can use. Paying out-of-pocket means your treatment plan is dictated solely by what you need, not what a corporate entity approves.

  • No Mandatory Labels: You shouldn't have to be labeled with a mental health disorder just to seek personal growth, navigate a difficult life transition, or work through relationship challenges. Private pay allows us to focus on your well-being without forcing a diagnosis.

  • Access to the Right Fit: Connecting with your therapist and having access to the right treatment for you is essential to your experience and growth. Private pay allows you access to a greater pool of therapists so that you can find one that will have the skills, expertise, and personality that best meet your needs.


By operating outside of the restrictions of insurance networks, we are completely free to determine the pace, frequency, and focus of your therapy. This allows us to focus entirely on your healing and growth on your own terms.
