FAQs
Do you have a waitlist?
Yes, if you’re interested in working together, you can book a consult, submit an inquiry, or add your name to the waitlist here and I’ll follow up with you when my practice goes live in early 2026. Consultation services are open now.
Can you provide a super bill?
Yes, at the request of a client. This does not guarantee financial coverage from insurers.
Do you accept insurance?
No, I’m an out-of-pocket provider, which means you will be provided a Good Faith Estimate and fully financially responsible for the cost of services at the time of service.
What credit cards do you accept?
All major credit card companies, as well as local credit cards, can be accepted, including American Express, Discover, Visa, Mastercard, and HSA/FSA cards.
Do you offer a sliding scale option?
Yes, a sliding scale fee may be available as a temporary arrangement, assessed individually based on specific circumstances. Eligibility is determined through a review of financial hardship and supporting income documentation. Clients experiencing difficulty with payments are encouraged to discuss this promptly to explore potential options. However, approval is not guaranteed. If a reduced rate is offered, it is intended as a short-term solution. Clients are expected to resume the standard fee once their financial situation stabilizes, as per the original agreement with their clinician.
Do you charge a cancellation/late fee?
Not if it is cancelled 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. If you are unable to provide notice to a session cancellation within this required timeframe, you will be obligated to pay the full session fee. For new clients, I allow a one-time courtesy where they won’t be charged the first time if they cancel outside this timeframe for reasons outside of their control like an emergency or being sick. If a client does not cancel and no shows to an appointment, they will be charged the full session fee plus an additional late fee.
Do you offer in-person services?
Not at this time. All services are provided via the HIPPA-compliant SimplePractice video and Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform.
What do you charge for consulting services?
Consulting services are offered at an agreed upon contract-based flat rate or hourly rate, which can range depending on the type of consulting service, requested level of commitment, time, activities, and service needs. For more information, submit an inquiry here.
Where are you licensed?
I’m currently licensed to independently practice in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, and Florida. Although my services are strictly virtual, all clients must reside within one of the five states listed. I can provide administrative and consultation services as legally appropriate in other states (e.g., review of policies, procedures, bylaws, or staff development through training courses) and on an as needed basis.
What are your hours of operation?
For all matters pertaining to my solo practice, I conduct business mostly on the weekends and I do not provide on-call crisis support. If you’re experiencing a psychiatric emergency, please contact 988 via phone or text for the Suicide and Crisis Hotline, or 911 for all other emergencies.
What ages of kids do you see?
I’m open to seeing kids aged 10 and up virtually (with consideration of development), Children younger than this age tend to benefit most from in-person formats where therapeutic sand and toys are present in their physical environment. As Gary Landreth (2002) proposes: “For children, toys are their words and play is their language.” I’m trained in the Child Centered Play Therapy model (CCPT), but since I’m a virtual only provider, for those ages I recommend searching for a provider who specializes in CCPT and offers in-person sessions. CCPT is an evidenced-based, age and developmentally proven model. For ages 10 and up, I can offer virtual sessions within the frameworks of CCPT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, CBT, DBT, and Relationally/Experientally-Focused work. The child must have a secure, confidential, and private space to take the Telehealth session and must be located in ones of the states I am licensed (DC, MD, VA, GA, and FL) to qualify.
