FAQs

  • Yes! Online couple therapy is effective for many couples seeking to improve their relationship health. Research indicates that teletherapy can lead to positive outcomes comparable to in-person sessions. The convenience of remote sessions can help couples engage in therapy more consistently and reduce barriers such as travel time or scheduling conflicts.

    If you’re curious about the benefits of teletherapy and how to maximize its effectiveness, I’ve written a blog post that delves into these topics.

  • You can begin by booking a free 15-minute consultation. This gives us a chance to talk briefly about your goals and see if we’re a good fit. If it feels right to move forward, I’ll share next steps and get you scheduled for your first session.

  • My standard session fee is $250 for a 50-minute session.

  • I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. However, if your plan includes out-of-network (OON) benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement for therapy sessions.

    To make this easier, I offer free access to Reimbursify, a secure, user-friendly app that helps you submit reimbursement claims to your insurance provider. After each session, you'll receive a superbill through your client portal, which you can upload in the app. If eligible, your insurance will reimburse you directly at no cost to you.

    Not sure if you have OON benefits? You can:

    • Use Reimbursify’s benefits lookup tool

    • Or call your insurance provider and ask: “Do I have out-of-network coverage for mental health services with a licensed therapist? What percentage is reimbursed, and what is my deductible?”

    Still have questions? I'm happy to help walk you through it.

  • I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Changes made with less than 48 hours’ notice, and missed sessions, are charged at the full session fee. This helps protect the space we’ve set aside for your care and ensures consistency in the therapy process.

  • Sessions are primarily scheduled on weekdays. Limited flexibility for evening appointments may be available for ongoing clients when needed.

  • No, I provide teletherapy only. All sessions are conducted via secure, video-based therapy, allowing for flexibility and privacy. I am licensed in North Carolina and Rhode Island and authorized to work with clients in 40 states and Washington, D.C. through PSYPACT.

  • Yes. Because sessions are held via teletherapy, partners can join from separate locations if needed. That said, I strongly recommend attending sessions from the same physical space whenever possible. Being in the same room can help with connection, communication, and the overall flow of the session.

  • While my primary focus is couples therapy, I also work with other relationship-based dyads, including friends, adult children and parents, and other meaningful relationships. I also work with individuals on relationship-related concerns, anxiety, OCD, trauma, and other personal challenges that affect emotional well-being and connection.

  • Yes. While much of my work focuses on relationships, I also work with individuals who want to explore relational patterns, navigate life transitions, or improve emotional well-being on their own.

  • Yes. I offer inclusive, affirming care for couples of all identities, orientations, and relationship structures. You’ll find a nonjudgmental space where your relationship is respected and supported.

  • Therapy is structured around your goals, and as a result, the length of therapy. I strongly encourage weekly sessions while actively engaged in treatment. Weekly sessions provide the consistency needed for real progress. While I may consider biweekly sessions in later stages of therapy, I would not be the best fit for someone looking primarily for biweekly or occasional therapy.

  • I use Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy (CBCT), and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), all of which are evidence-based approaches designed to help couples improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, and break unhelpful patterns. Therapy is structured, goal-oriented, and focused on lasting change. You can find more information about more a typical course of IBCT, CBCT, FAP and Prevention services here.

  • Yes. Many couples seek therapy when one partner is dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, or other mental health challenges that affect the relationship. I offer couple-based treatment for individual concerns, using Cognitive-Behavioral Couple Therapy (CBCT) to help partners work through these challenges together. CBCT provides structured strategies to improve communication, strengthen support, and reduce symptoms impacting the individuals and the relationship.

  • It’s completely normal for one partner to feel unsure. Therapy isn’t about assigning blame—it’s about creating space for both of you to feel heard and supported. I work collaboratively and at a pace that respects where each person is emotionally.
