Frequently Asked Questions

Are you currently accepting new clients?

My practice is full at this time but if you think we might be a good fit and you’re open to joining a short wait list, feel free to contact me and we can set up a time to talk.

How much of an investment will this be? Do you accept insurance?

Both therapy and coaching sessions are billed at $175/session. If you are seeking therapy and prefer to use your insurance, I am accepting new clients with Medicaid/Green Mountain Care or Optum/UnitedHealthcare/UMR. Note: If you work at the GE factory in Rutland, your insurance is BCBS but behavioral health (including therapy) process through Optum so I am an in-network provider for you.

Do you offer telehealth/teletherapy?

Absolutely. I use a HIPAA-compliant platform (meaning the platform is secure enough to transmit health-related information privately) created for online therapy or coaching sessions. It is simple to use — you won’t have to download anything, you’ll just click the link in an email to join the session.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

I meet with clients in person on Tuesdays in a lovely office overlooking a park in downtown Rutland, VT. It is easily accessible from Route 7 and Route 4E.

Do you offer EMDR?

I do. EMDR is a targeted therapy designed specifically for the treatment of trauma, and it tends to offer relief from distressing symptoms fairly quickly (often within weeks, though this varies from person to person). I have been certified to offer this therapy, which typically takes place in person but in certain situations can be offered remotely as well.

How long will it take to feel different?

As you might expect, this is very different for different people. If you imagine your inner self as a home, some people come to me because they want help clearing off the kitchen table; others want to redesign a whole room; and others want a top-to-bottom renovation. How long it will take to accomplish your goals depends on what you are hoping to accomplish. If timeline is a concern for you, use the Contact form to reach out and we can discuss your particular situation.

Do you work with kids? Families? Couples? New Yorkers?

I offer therapy only to individual adults who are in the state of Vermont at the time of service. I offer coaching to individual adults anywhere in the country (even New York!).
