Do you take insurance?

Currently I’m in network with Humana (TricareEast), and I’m also contracted with the Maryland Center of Excellence on problem gambling. If you have a gambling problem or are concerned about a family member or friend who has a gambling problem, you would qualify for this program. If neither of those apply to you and you have out of network benefits, I can submit claims electronically on your behalf after each session so there’s no paperwork to fill out! If you need to stay within your insurance plan due to financial concerns, the best thing to do is go on their website and search for a behavioral health provider in your area. Therapy is an investment in yourself and your well-being!

Do you see couples?

Since I don’t have any formal training

or certification in couples therapy, I only

see individuals at this time. Occasionally,

when indicated, a session will include a family member if there is a specific purpose or topic to discuss.

What happens at the free consult?

The 30 minute consultation is basically a “meet and greet” to see if it feels like we are a good fit. A good fit doesn’t just mean that my training and expertise match your therapeutic needs as a client. More importantly, it means that you feel comfortable talking to me and feel that I really “get” you. During the consultation, I’ll ask you what kinds of challenges you are currently facing, and what you are looking for in a therapist. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions that may be important to you as you go through the process of finding the right therapist. At the end of the session, I’ll ask you how you would like to proceed. If you aren’t sure and want to “shop around”, I encourage you to do so. If for some reason I don’t feel that we are a good match, I will try my best to refer you to someone else. If it makes sense to proceed with therapy, we can talk about scheduling a weekly standing appointment time.
