FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Questions, Answered
-
Yes — for individual therapy only, and only with certain plans.
Couples work and extended sessions (including Breakthrough Sessions) are private pay.
If you have out-of-network benefits, I check with a company called Thrizer in our consult call. Depending on your plan, you may get a portion of your session cost reimbursed, some clients 40-70%. .

We meet weekly in the beginning. Sessions range from 60–120 minutes, depending on the format we’re using and what you need. If we’re using Relationship Theory, the work is structured every week. There’s a clear plan, clear targets, and specific practice between sessions to reinforce the new response. If we’re doing other treatments , like EMDR, the structure looks different.
-
I work on the part most therapy never touches: your attachment wiring — how your brain learned to connect, protect, and react. So we’re not just “talking about it.” We’re rewiring the responses that keep showing up in closeness: shutdown, pursuit, distance, reactivity, numbness. Over time, your brain learned those moves. We train a new one. That’s why I use structured methods like RTM and EMDR, and why I often work in longer sessions.
-
That’s not a problem.
A lot of people who come to me have done therapy before. They understand their patterns. They can explain their childhood. They have insight.
But insight — even if it was really good — doesn’t always change the way your brain and body react.
If you’re still shutting down, still overreacting, still pulling away or chasing when things get close — that’s not a knowledge problem. It’s a nervous system and attachment pattern problem. -
Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals who wouldn’t describe themselves as traumatized — but they notice patterns like:
Repeating the same conflict in relationships
Feeling disconnected from themselves
Performing well everywhere except at home
Feeling “off” but not knowing why
We don’t need a dramatic story to do deep work and look at repeating patterns in your life.
-
Yes. I’m a licensed therapist who is also a Christian. This is clinical therapy, not biblical counseling. If you’d like faith to be part of how we approach things, we can do that.
Imagine if…
you could get confidence and traction on big issues—quickly.
you didn’t pull back just because things were going well.
stress didn’t hijack your reactions
being seen fully didn’t feel risky.
Individual Sessions | 60-120 minutes
II’m currently paneled with Aetna, Select Health (CO), Quest Behavioral Health, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts for individual therapy.
Insurance reimbursement is limited to sessions under 60 minutes per their limitations. I meet with clients for 60 minutes minimum, whether using insurance or cash pay.
Cash rates are discussed during the consultation call, as some extended session options are offered as private pay based on how insurance reimburses. Certain treatments are structured as 120-minute sessions by design, so we have enough time to complete the full method in one visit.
Couples Sessions | 120 minutes
Couples sessions have a 120 minute session (90 minutes at minimum) so the session includes the change and the repetition that roots it.
I do not accept insurance for couple’s therapy for multiple reasons, the primary being insurances will not reimburse for more than 53-billable minutes.
This is not sufficient to move beyond temporary fixes and adequately address issues with couples.
Rates are discussed during the consultation call.
I offer several reduced-fee slots available for highly-motivated clients.
