  • I am licensed in Maryland & Michigan. For the most part, as long as you are within state lines, we can meet virtually. All virtual sessions are online through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. The link will be emailed to you directly. All you need to do is click “join”. We have the flexibility of meeting in-person, virtually, or a mix of both.

    *All Michigan based clients must work with me through Pine Rest.

  • I am only able to meet between the hours of 9 am - 5 pm; Monday-Friday. My first session starts at 9 AM, and my last session ends at 5 PM.

    There is a standing waitlist for 3 PM and 4 PM appointment times and priority is given to current clients first.

  • Unfortunately, no. This season of life has taught me that how I show up as a mom to my kids is just as important, and fundamentally woven into how I show up as a therapist for you. When I can be present and parent in a way that aligns with my values, I can be present and provide therapy in a way that aligns with my values. You deserve that.

  • Yes! I’m a working mom. Daycare closes, family emergencies pop up, little kids get sick. I may occasionally have to ask for flexibility in rescheduling. However, if I am asking flexibility of you, I am also going to extend the same. If you cannot reschedule for another time during the week, I will occasionally offer weekend availability to reschedule a session that I had to late cancel. However, I am not able to offer weekend availability as an option for consistent care.

  • Good news: I’m in-network with a few major providers, which can make your sessions easier on your wallet.

    I accept:

    • CareFirst / BlueCross BlueShield

    • Optum / UnitedHealthcare

  • If your insurance isn’t listed, you can still work with me as an out-of-network provider, you just have to check with your insurance plan to see what your out-of-network benefits are. I provide superbills so you can submit for possible reimbursement.

    2026 Rates:

    Intake Session: $175

    Follow-up Sessions: $150

  • Before we can officially schedule your Intake Appointment, I need to set up an account for you in our Electronic Health Record (EHR), so I’m going to get the following information from you:

    • Your Full Legal Name & Your Preferred Name

    • Your Date of Birth

    • Your Address

    • The Phone # & Email Address You Want Connected to the Patient Portal

    • Your Insurance Subscriber ID and Name of Insurance Provider

    • A Copy of Your Insurance Card

  • Once we get you set up in the patient portal, we verify your benefits, I email you to confirm your plans coverage for therapy (e.g., deductible, co-pay, co-insurance, etc.), all before we meet for that first session.

  • I’m using Ivy Pay to take cards now. It works with credit, debit, HSA and FSA cards. It’s HIPAA-secure, keeps our therapy confidential and makes payment easy for you and me. All I need is your mobile number to get you set up.

  • Once you are set up in our EHR, You’ll receive:

    • A secure client portal link

    • A quick set of onboarding forms: consent, policies, payment info, and a brief background form

    They must be completed before our first session (therapy laws love a rule).

    If you get confused or stuck, email me — it’s genuinely not a bother.

  • You actually have options. Once we start working together, you get to choose the scheduling style that fits your life and your brain. We can set up a recurring time, schedule the next session at the end of each session, and you have access to my “Book With Me” Link whenever you need, accessed through my email signature.

  • Life happens; here’s how to handle it:

    • You can reschedule anytime via email or text

    • Please give 24 hours notice to avoid a late cancellation fee

    • Actual emergencies = just let me know. I use compassion and common sense, and I like to think I’m not a monster about it.
