Yes, I am currently accepting new clients for in-person therapy at my office in Shalimar, Florida and clients for virtual therapy throughout Florida and New Hampshire.

Please send a request from the website under “schedule a consultation” to schedule a free 15 minute consultation.

Please send a request from the website under “schedule a consultation.” I will do my best to respond within 2 business days unless it’s a holiday.

I work with clients who self-pay and clients who would like to utilize their insurance.

I am currently accepting the following insurances: Aetna and United Healthcare.

Many PPO insurance plans will cover a percentage of services provided by Out-of-network providers. If you have a PPO-type plan and want to submit a claim for out-of-network reimbursement, I can give you a receipt, or a “superbill.”

I accept HSA and FSA cards.

Please note that submitting an insurance claim means I will need to give you a mental health diagnosis, which goes into your permanent health record.

There are two options available for self-pay:

60 minute Individual Therapy session: $200

90 minute Individual Therapy session: $225.

The initial intake assessment usually takes 75-90 minutes and is $275.

Payment is collected on the day of service. I keep your credit card on file and charge it the day of the session through a HIPAA compliant electronic health records system.

If you are using insurance, you will receive a link to the billing company prior to our intake session and they will handle all the insurance filing.

I see clients in-person at my office in Shalimar, Florida or via telehealth throughout Florida and New Hampshire.

All telehealth therapy sessions are conducted via a secure and easy-to-use telehealth platform (similar to Zoom or Skype).

I provide counseling for adults who reside in Florida and New Hampshire.

I help empower motivated, high achievers who need a sense of hope that it can get better. I help clients navigate perfectionism, anxiety, self-criticism, and past traumas. Using a holistic and trauma-trained approach, I guide my clients to cultivate self-compassion, change negative thinking, and truly heal. Together, we foster personal growth and well-being in a supportive environment.

This is something we can discuss together at the intake appointment. Most clients start out at one time a week then gradually move to every other week.

I do not believe that people need to be in therapy for months or years on end. My goal from the beginning is to work myself out of a job so my clients can get back to living their life!

I require 48-hours’ notice of cancellation, or you may be charged for the appointment.

An occasional exception may be made in the case of an emergency or illness.

Please notify me by text or email if you need to cancel.

I find that an eclectic approach works best, meaning I pull from a variety of theories and techniques.

I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), EMDR, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness. I take an individualized treatment approach and collaborate with my clients on the best modalities for them.

I approach my client from a holistic view: mind, body, and spirit. If needed, I collaborate with other medical professionals in the area to provide a well-rounded, integrative treatment plan.

Yes, my office is disability friendly. Accessibility is very important to me. The interior was completely renovated in 2022 and meets all the newest disability standards.

Wheelchairs, walkers, canes, service animals, etc. are all welcome and if you need other accommodations, please let me know and I will be happy to assist you.

I also have a coffee bar with coffee, teas, and snacks!

No, I do not. I am not a medical doctor. Medication can be helpful, but not necessary. I have clients that make progress in therapy without medication. If you want to be evaluated for psychiatric medication, either contact your primary care physician or a psychiatrist. I can make recommendations for psychiatrists in our area. If you are already taking medication, I can coordinate care with your prescribing doctor.

I work with adults aged 18+ (no children). I do not conduct child custody evaluations, nor do I provide custody recommendations. I also do not provide treatment for eating disorders, psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, etc.), or personality disorders.

Due to state licensing laws, I can only provide therapy to individuals residing in Florida or New Hampshire.

Yes. I am a qualified supervisor for MHC interns seeking licensure in the State of Florida. I would love to help you navigate this exciting time. I also offer professional consultation for difficult or complex cases involving my areas of expertise.
