Frequently Asked Questions

My office is centrally located in downtown Burlington, VT at 125 College Street.

Parking is available at meters and in city garages, which offer free parking for the first two hours.

Yes! I offer in-person, online therapy, or a mix of the two based on what works best for you.

I meet weekly with new clients who are seeking ongoing therapy. I have found that weekly sessions are the best pace to ensure steady progress, and starting with bi-weekly sessions early in treatment slows the rate of progress. As therapy progresses, you make gains, and start to move into a maintenance phase of therapy, I am glad to discuss moving to less frequent sessions.

Clients who are interested in EMDR intensives are able to begin with either weekly or bi-weekly sessions, as these will lay the groundwork for intensive work that typically accelerates the pace of healing.

I am an out of network provider. This means that clients pay me directly at the time of service. Depending on your plan, you may be eligible for Out Of Network (OON) benefits that could provide partial reimbursement for our sessions. If you have OON benefits, I can offer a receipt called a Superbill with appropriate details for you to request reimbursement from your insurance carrier.

You can call your insurance company to find out 1) if you have out-of-network benefits, 2) your deductible and 3) what percentage of the fee they will reimburse you.

My fee for a 50 minute session is $250.

Rates for extended adjunct EMDR and EMDR intensives vary based on session length. Please contact me directly to discuss your needs.

Yes. Currently, my sliding scale program is full.

I have found through experience that working as an out-of-network therapist makes it possible for me to do my best clinical work. It allows me to have a smaller caseload so I can provide more individualized care to each client. It also allows me to have high-quality, regular supervision, consultation, and training to ensure that my clinical work is the best it can be. It makes it possible for me to have rest and makes my practice sustainable.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance, who are not using insurance, or are using out-of-network benefits for services, an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health care will cost. You can ask for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
