FAQs

  • I approach therapy from a person-centered, systemic, and trauma-informed lens. Whether I am working with individuals, couples, or families, I strive to deeply understand each client by exploring their personal and familial background.

    My approach is grounded in a family systems perspective, and draws from emotional and cognitive approaches. I strongly believe who we are is shaped by our past and present relationships. I help clients explore these connections to better understand current challenges and create meaningful change.

  • I accept insurance for individual therapy only. I am currently an in-network provider for individuals with BCBSM, BCN, Aetna, and United Health. For more specific information about your insurance coverage, please email me or contact your insurance company to inquire about your mental/behavioral health outpatient benefits.

    If you are looking for individual therapy and I am not an in-network provider for your insurance, I can provide you with a super-bill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement if your plan allows.

  • Unfortunately, relational therapy is typically not considered ‘medically necessary’ by insurance companies. For insurance to cover mental health therapy, sessions must focus on treating a diagnosable mental health condition for one identified patient. If a partner or family member is involved, their participation must be directed toward supporting the treatment of one person’s diagnosis.

    In my practice, couples and family therapy does not meet this criterion because the focus is on the relationship itself, rather than an individual diagnosis. My work centers on strengthening communication, deepening intimacy, resolving conflict, and fostering emotional growth. While these outcomes can directly or indirectly have a positive influence on mental health, they are not generally considered ‘medically necessary’ under insurance company standards. 

    Claims for services that do not meet this ‘medically necessary’ criterion are typically denied. In some cases, insurance may initially pay for the service but later determine they were medically necessary, requiring repayment from either the client or the provider.  As a solo practitioner, I do not feel comfortable placing myself, or my clients, in this vulnerable position.

  • No, you do not have to use insurance. You are welcome to pay out of pocket for sessions. Some client prefer this method of payment because it limits the amount of personal information shared with their insurance company and provides more flexibility with the duration of sessions.
