Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work in-person or using tele-health?

     I have moved to exclusively working in-person. I will use telehealth if people are sick or there's an emergency, but I prefer to stick to in-person work.

 

Where do you meet?

     I have an office in a barn at 1522 New Hope Road (The location of Mane Support).  Yes, it is in a barn and there are horses.  The office itself is very cute and has cozy chairs.  There's a bathroom available.  Because there is no lobby to hang out in, I ask people to arrive close to their appointment time.

 

Does a Marriage and Family Therapist work with individuals?

     Absolutely!  Most of my practice is working with individuals.

 

What ages do you work with?

     I work with teens and adults.  During our free consultation call, we can work together to make sure this will be a good fit.

​

What do you charge and how long is a session?

     In 2024 and 2025, the cost is $100 per session, whether it's Individual, couples, or family.  Sessions last about 50 minutes.

 

Do you offer a free initial consultation?

     Yes, I am willing to do an initial consultation for free to answer questions and see if it is a good fit.  These meetings are typically shorter and done by phone.

​

Do you take insurance?

     No. However, I do offer a SUPERBILL which can be used to apply for reimbursement from your insurance provider.  I would suggest calling them and asking them how they handle SUPERBILLS.  Only they can tell you how much they will reimburse. I do not work with them and can't answer SUPERBILL questions on how to process them.

 

What are issues you don't work with?

     I do not have a lot of experience with eating disorders, autism, schizophrenia and substance abuse, unless it's part of a bigger program that includes a team of other professionals (Psychiatrists, nutritionists, recovery program...).

 

Can I only be a client if I am a Christian?

     No. In my practice, my faith is private and I do not impose my views in session.  If a client shares they want faith to be part of their journey, I can incorporate that, but I will not expect that.

​

Please Note (Religion and Politics)

     Your therapist's religion and politics should not impact your therapy experience negatively.  Ethically a therapist should not impose their views on you and should create a safe environment for you to discuss whatever you need to process.
