Thank you for your interest in my practice. I hope that this page provides answers to some of your questions, as you explore the possibility of us working together.

Services Offered

I provide outpatient psychotherapy for individual adults in my Tenleytown office, or via tele-therapy. In the event that you are out of town or sick, phone or tele-therapy sessions are available.

Initial Appointment

Initial assessment takes place during the first appointment, which is a 45 minute session. This appointment is used to learn more about you as a person, some of the challenges that led you to make an appointment, your intended goals, and to determine the best course of care.

Scheduling the initial appointment takes place via email or phone conversations between us. Once a mutually agreeable time has been identified, payment for the appointment via Zelle is required to confirm the appointment in my schedule.

Once the appointment is confirmed, you will receive a welcome email, with a link to forms you can fill out and submit online through my HIPAA compliant portal.

Rates and Insurance

A standard 45 minute psychotherapy session fee is $250.

If you have out-of-network benefits, a portion of my fee should be eligible for reimbursement by your insurance company. I am not an in-network provider for any insurance company, but individual psychotherapy visits are covered under the Mental Health Parity Act (2008). Check your insurance policy for detailed information about what is covered, and at what rate.

Once a person becomes an established patient, invoices are sent at the beginning of the month, with payment for sessions in the previous month due upon receipt.

Late Cancellation or Missed Appointments

Although I make every effort to reschedule appointments when things come up, the full session fee will be charged for missed appointments not cancelled 48 hours in advance of the appointment.

Social Media Policy

In order to maintain your confidentiality and our respective privacy, I do not interact with current or former patients on social networking websites.

Confidentiality and Release of Information

Legal and ethical standards require me to maintain confidentiality. Should we decide together that communication with another provider would be useful, you will be asked to sign a release of information for each individual or practice that states what information is to be shared, and for what purpose.

Notice of Privacy Policies

Once your initial appointment is confirmed, a copy of my privacy policy will be made available for your signature. For more information about healthcare privacy, see: https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/index.html

Scheduling an Appointment

Contact me by email or telephone to inquire about scheduling an initial appointment. If you have been referred by a friend or another practitioner, please let me know who so I may thank them for the referral.
