Frequently Asked Questions


Q: Do you offer in-person therapy?

A: I currently provide telehealth only, which allows tweens and teens to access support from a space where they feel most comfortable.

Q: How do I know if therapy is right for my child?

A: If your tween or teen is struggling with emotions, relationships, grief, or identity—or just needs a space to talk—therapy can offer a supportive outlet for processing and growth. I offer a free consultation to help determine if we’re a good fit.

Q: How involved are parents in the process?

A: While sessions are confidential to build trust with your child, I offer regular check-ins (as appropriate) to share general progress and collaborate on ways to support them at home.

Q: Do you take insurance?

A: I am a private pay provider and do not bill insurance directly. While I understand this may be a consideration for some families, choosing to remain private pay allows me to offer more personalized, flexible, and high-quality care.

By limiting the number of clients I see, I’m able to give each person the time, attention, and support they deserve—without the restrictions insurance companies often place on session frequency, treatment focus, or length of care.

If your plan offers out-of-network benefits, I’m happy to provide a superbill you can submit for possible reimbursement.

Q: How long will therapy take?

A: Every young person’s journey is different. Some may benefit from short-term support, while others may engage in longer-term work. We’ll regularly check in on progress and goals together.

Q: What if my child doesn’t want to talk?

A: That’s okay. I meet clients where they are. Many teens are hesitant at first, which is why I incorporate creativity, games, and relationship-building—therapy doesn’t have to start with deep conversation to be meaningful.
