Frequently Asked Questions

My fee is $325 per 50-minute session, billed at the time of service.

I keep a deliberately small practice so that the people I work with receive my full attention, continuity, and depth between sessions as well as within them. The fee reflects that — not volume, but focus.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. I provide a monthly superbill — an itemized receipt with the codes your insurer requires — which you can submit to your plan for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

If you'd like to use this benefit, it's worth calling the number on the back of your insurance card before we begin and asking three questions:

• Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits?
• What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much of it have I met?
• What percentage of the fee is reimbursed once the deductible is met?

This is a clinical decision as much as an administrative one.

When insurance pays for therapy, it requires a formal mental health diagnosis on your permanent record, and it reserves the right to decide how often we meet and for how long. That arrangement makes sense for some kinds of care. It is poorly suited to the kind of work I do.

Practicing outside of insurance lets me protect three things that matter to the people I see: the privacy of what you bring to this room, the pace of work that isn't dictated by a third party, and the depth that the work actually requires. You and I decide what this treatment is and how long it lasts — not a utilization reviewer.

Most therapy on offer today is designed to reduce symptoms quickly — to give you tools, manage the discomfort, and return you to function. That work is valuable, and for many people it is enough.

The people who find their way to me usually aren't those people. They are high-functioning, often successful by every external measure, and privately exhausted in a way that coping skills haven't touched. They've frequently done therapy before. They are looking for something deeper than another set of techniques.

My work is integrative depth psychotherapy — informed by Jungian psychology, contemporary neuroscience, attachment theory, somatic awareness, and contemplative traditions. The premise that organizes all of it is what I call the purposeful symptom: the idea that anxiety, restlessness, the sense of being stuck, even the breakdown that arrives at midlife or at the top of a career, are not malfunctions to be silenced. They are communications. They are pointing at something that wants to be understood.

Alongside a doctorate and decades of clinical practice, I am an advanced candidate in Jungian psychoanalytic training at the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association in New York — formal, in-depth study of analytical psychology that comparatively few clinicians pursue. It reflects a deliberate choice to keep deepening the way I work rather than to settle into a method.

The goal isn't only to feel better. It's to become more fully and freely yourself.

Weekly, at minimum. Some of the people I work with choose to meet twice a week, particularly during more intensive periods.

This isn't an arbitrary preference. Depth work depends on continuity — on building a consistent, protected space (what Jung called the temenos) where the unconscious material that drives our patterns can actually surface and be worked with. Meeting less than weekly tends to keep the work at the surface, where each session is spent re-establishing where we left off rather than going deeper.

If your schedule or circumstances make weekly work genuinely impossible, that's worth an honest conversation before we begin.

Yes — and intentionally so. I am a solo practitioner. There are no associates, no rotating clinicians, and no large caseload. When you work with me, you work with me.

A small practice is what makes genuine depth and continuity possible. It is also a deliberate choice about the kind of care I want to offer: considered, unhurried, and fully present.

I ask for 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Because your session time is held exclusively for you, sessions cancelled with less notice are charged at the full fee.
