Licensed psychologist providing telehealth across Maryland and participating PSYPACT states.

What can I expect in my first therapy session?
Your first appointment will be an initial evaluation. During this time we will review information relevant to your history, discuss what is bringing you to therapy now, and talk about your goals for treatment.

Just as important, this first meeting gives us a chance to get to know each other and determine whether the fit feels right. Together we will begin developing a plan for how to move forward.

How often will we meet?
Many clients begin therapy meeting weekly, though the frequency can vary depending on your needs and goals. Over time we may adjust the schedule as things progress.

Are you currently accepting new clients?
Yes. I am currently accepting new clients, and appointments are typically available within one to two weeks depending on scheduling availability.

What are your office hours?
Appointments are offered Monday through Thursday. All sessions are conducted via secure telehealth.
 
What are your fees?

• Initial evaluation (approximately 50 minutes): $200
• Individual therapy session (45 minutes): $150
• Individual therapy session (60 minutes): $200

Payment is required at the time of service. All major credit cards are accepted.

Do you accept insurance?
Some insurance plans are accepted. For other plans, services may be considered out-of-network, and you may be able to request reimbursement from your insurance provider.

Because insurance plans vary, it is important to review your individual benefits with your insurance company.

What is a Good Faith Estimate?
Under law, health care providers are required to provide patients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance for their care a “Good Faith Estimate” of the anticipated costs of care for medical items and services. You have the right to request a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services provided.

This Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care treatment. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. The Good Faith Estimate only includes costs associated with anticipated treatment items and services and does not include ancillary services, late or no show fees, or costs incurred from other medical providers.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. You can also initiate a dispute resolution process with the US Department of Health and Services.

What if I need to cancel an appointment?
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours notice.

What if I’m not sure whether therapy is right for me?

It’s common to feel unsure before starting therapy. Many people reach out simply because something feels difficult to manage alone. The first session is an opportunity to talk through what’s going on and decidee together whether therapy feels like a good fit.
