FAQ
-
What does a typical first session look like?
With both couples and individuals the first session will be used to help me understand why you are seeking help and get to know more about your life.

I know therapy is helpful, but I worry I won't know what to talk about.
No worries! In short thats MY job. This concern s actually very common and over the years I’ve developed skills to help my clients find words to express whats going on.

How long does a typical session last.
Sessions are typically between 50-55 minutes long.

Do you offer a sliding scale?
I currently do not offer a sliding scale.

How long does therapy take?
After our initial session we will review what you want to work on and provide a typical duration. Typically we will schedule weekly sessions to start and review progress every 4-6 weeks. Some people find that is enough while others benefit for longer periods. Along the way we will collaborate together to make sure you are getting what you need.
-
How long have you been a therapist?
I began seeing clients in 2021. In 2024 I received my full license from the state of Missouri. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 20+ years in the corporate world working with people to identify and problem-solve complex issues.
Research has shown that when it comes to therapy the quality of the connection between client and therapist is often more impactful on success and healing than experience. For this reason, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to make sure you feel like I’m a good fit.

Do you accept Insurance?
Yes I currenlty accept:
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Missouri, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City, Aetna, and Cigna.
I also offer superbills. -
Can I cancel an appointment?
I provide a one-time free cancellation because I understand that life happens. After that, I do charge the full session fee if you are unable to cancel 24 hours before your appointment. The reason for this is to serve as many people as I can.

What ages of clients do you see?
I primarily work with 16-60 year-olds. However, I will see children as young as 12 and no limit on adults.
