FAQ
Common questions, honest answers.
Don't see what you're looking for? Reach out — I'd rather answer your actual question than guess at it here.
Take your time. There is no wrong question when it comes to starting therapy.
Do you accept new clients?+
Yes — I'm currently accepting new clients in Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The fastest way to find out if we're a fit is to send a message and schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
Are sessions in person or online?+
All sessions are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant video (telehealth). You can join from your home, office, or anywhere private with a stable internet connection.
How long is each session?+
Standard individual therapy sessions are 53 minutes. Most clients meet weekly or bi-weekly, depending on their goals and what's going on in their life.
What ages do you work with?+
I work with older teens (16 and up), college students, and adults of all ages. I do not currently work with younger children.
What is integrative counseling?+
Integrative counseling means I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Brainspotting, and tailor the work to what each client actually needs rather than forcing one model on every situation.
Do you accept insurance?+
I'm in network with several major insurers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield (most state and federal BCBS plans), Highmark, Cigna, Aetna, and Capital Blue Cross (Pennsylvania only). Coverage can vary by plan and state, so reach out with your insurance and state of residence and I'll confirm what applies. If I'm out of network for your plan, I can provide a superbill you can submit for potential partial reimbursement.
Are there concerns you don't work with?+
Yes. To make sure each client gets the right level of care, I don't provide treatment for eating disorders, substance abuse or addiction, or court-mandated counseling, and I don't offer emergency or crisis services. If your needs fall outside my scope, I'll do my best to point you toward someone better suited.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?+
If you've been thinking about it long enough to read this page, that's usually a sign worth listening to. A free consultation is the easiest way to find out — there's no pressure to continue.
What if I'm in a crisis?+
This site does not provide emergency or crisis services. If you're in crisis, please call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. See the Crisis page for more resources.
