FAQs

Do you only work with couples?

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.

How long does therapy last?

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.

Do you offer in-person therapy?

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.

What is your approach to couples 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.

What are your rates?

Session fees vary based on length and format. Longer or more intensive sessions may be available upon request.

Do you accept insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance directly. However, you may still be able to get reimbursed for my services through your insurance provider if you have out-of-network benefits. Many insurance plans offer partial reimbursement for sessions with out-of-network providers, but the amount and process vary depending on your specific plan.

Some third-party services specialize in submitting out-of-network claims on your behalf, which can simplify the reimbursement process. These services typically handle paperwork and communication with your insurance company, helping you receive any eligible reimbursements more efficiently. For example:

  • Mentaya – A service that helps clients file insurance claims for out-of-network therapy and can increase the chances of reimbursement. While often used by therapists, individuals can also sign up directly.

  • Thrizer – A platform that helps file and track insurance claims and may offer upfront cost reduction based on your out-of-network benefits.

These services charge fees, so please review their terms before using them.

If you're unsure whether you have out-of-network benefits, you can contact your insurance provider and ask about reimbursement for psychotherapy.

Do you offer evening or weekend sessions?

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

Can you help if one of us is struggling with mental health concerns?

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.
