How do I reduce my stress and help my child?
Fees and Services
All services are available in-person or via telehealth.
Intake
During your first session, we’ll go through your paperwork and get to know one another. This 75-minute session will allow me to understand your child and family’s history and needs. We will work together to design a customized treatment plan that is focused on your specific goals for your child and family system.

Treatment
Because every child and every family is different, treatment can involve lots of different things. It could include individual play therapy sessions with me and your child, family sessions where we work on attachment and play together, parent coaching, or some combination of all of these. My space includes a playroom with a wide variety of toys for a wide variety of expression, as well as a comfortable office for us chat over coffee. I recommend weekly sessions for at least the first four to six weeks of treatment.
Individual Counseling or Parent Coaching Session - 50 mins | $175
Child-Centered Play Therapy Session - 45 mins | $175

FAQs
-
I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not take insurance. This is a choice that I made because of the nature of my practice, and my ethical concerns with involving insurance companies in treatment. Insurance companies require that I give a “reimbursable” diagnosis in the first session, and with the types of complex issues I treat, there often isn’t an appropriate match in the DSM-V.
Also, issues with family cohesion or attachment, or support around things like parenting challenges and strategies are usually not covered by insurance. Insurance companies can also request access to your confidential records whenever they like, which impacts your/your child’s privacy. Being an out-of-network provider allows me the freedom to provide you with the most customized and targeted care possible.
For those clients who choose to use their out-of-network benefits, I work with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. To see if you qualify for reimbursement, you can use this link. If you qualify, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. They charge a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year. Using this service is completely optional, and if you prefer to file claims on your own, I am happy to provide a superbill.
I also can accept HSA/FSA account funds if allowed by your plan. Cash, check, and credit/debit card are all okay methods of payment!
