Schedule a 15 minute complimentary call to see if we are a good fit for each other. During the first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and talking about what brought you here. We will then create a preliminary goal for treatment together. This may change as we continue to learn more.

With children, I typically meet with caregivers alone to explore their concerns and to gather more information. I also spend some time observing interactions between the child and the caregiver. Once I meet with your child, we can revisit our assessment and treatment goals, as I value the child’s voice in the process.

A comprehensive evaluation of a child’s mental health may include the following: child’s developmental history, temperament, relationships with friends and family, medical history, interests, strengths, and history of prior treatment. It is also important for me to get a picture of the child’s current life situation—for example, a recent change in schools, an illness in the family, or another change that affects the child’s daily life.

Sessions are typically 60 minutes and will take place on weekly or bi-weekly schedule, depending on your needs. Couples, family, or initial intake appointments may be 75 minutes.

The length of treatment will vary per individual. I have worked with individuals who found success in few sessions, while others that took much longer.

All sessions are confidential with the following exceptions: where there is a reasonable suspicion of child abuse in your household/in your care or elder/ dependent adult abuse; where there is a reasonable suspicion that you may present a danger of violence to others; where there is a reasonable suspicion that you are likely to harm yourself unless protective measures are taken.

Therapy is an investment – both emotionally and financially. To provide you with a clinically compassionate space, without influence from insurance companies, which often stipulate what type and the length of treatment clients receive (also requiring a diagnosis), I am not affiliated with any particular insurance panel.

However, I can provide you a monthly super-bill that you can submit to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Please consult with your insurance company regarding your out-of-network mental health coverage as each plan has its own rules and restrictions.

I understand that life happens and things come up. Please provide me with at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or change your appointment. You will be charged your full session fee if you do not cancel at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment time.

Your appointment time is reserved for you, so as soon as you arrive, we will begin the session and use whatever time is left.

Due to Covid-19, I am currently offering online/telehealth sessions only.

With young children, I need the caregivers to be my eyes, ears and hands while we work together. Incorporation of coaching has been very helpful with virtual sessions. I will also interact directly with your child through the computer screen.
