I see clients virtually Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. I hold in-person office hours on Monday at Forward Counseling and Consulting.

I am paneled with insurance through Forward Counseling and Consulting. Some of the insurances I am able to accept are:

• GHC

• The Alliance

• Dean

• Medicare

I am anticipating being paneled with several more in the near future, including Quartz.

I accept credit, debit, and HSA/FSA via my HIPAA compliant EHR.

Payment is due at the time of service. For sessions to begin, I require clients to have a valid and up-to-date form of payment on file.

You can read all about my sliding scale process here.

I offer a limited number of sliding scale slots. Spots below $80 are currently full. For longer-term services, I have availability for sliding scale from $80 - $150 at this time.

Letters of readiness sessions are always available for sliding scale ranging from $40 - $150.

All sessions cancelled 24 or more hours in advance are honored. Any day-of or no-show cancellations are subject to a fee of the total session cost, whichever fee we’ve agreed upon. This automatically gets charged on the card held on file.

Ways that I work to mitigate this:

• Appointment reminders are sent to you ahead of time, which creates an opportunity to reschedule/cancel.

• Everyone gets 1 free missed appointment per year. You get to choose when it’s used.

• Exceptions may be made for death of a significant loved one, serious illness, or loss of financial resources.

Not necessarily! All virtual sessions are done with audio AND video, so we can both see and hear each other. To make it feel as much like the therapy office as possible, it is also required that we are both alone in a secure space where our exchange will not be heard by others. If you need help identifying your secure space, let me know.

Besides being alone, it is important that while in session we are in full focus. This means that both myself and my clients are not driving, running errands, cooking, cleaning, or multitasking. We are fully engaged in the process.

Yes, EMDR can be done virtually. With guidance, we can achieve the same effect with tapping on the body bilaterally. You can read more about EMDR here as well as how it works virtually.

I am newly trained in EMDR as of September 2024. In our consult we can talk about if this level of EMDR is right for you.

I am fortunate to have had much experience working with couples virtually. I find that it works best if the couple/group are together on the same camera, both in view. If they are not able to meet together, they are welcome to join from different places.

I do my best to attune to expressions and behaviors in both/all members joining the session. I work to make space for everyone as I watch the screen and look for opportunities to continue the exploration.

The cost of an individual session is $150. The cost of a relational session is $175. All sessions are 50 minutes.

Regardless of what we are doing, whether that’s a gender assessment and letter of readiness or EMDR, the cost of sessions is dependent on the number of people in the room.

Of course! All adults age 18+ as well as teens age 15 to 17 are welcome as long as their concerns and general experiences are within my scope of practice.

In our first session we will review some of the expectations for therapy, including important client rights information. This stuff can be a bit dull, but is essential to your process.

After that, we begin building our therapeutic relationship. I’ll collect some historical information up front, we’ll identify some therapeutic goals, and establish any boundaries and preferences for maintaining the therapeutic relationship.
