Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you take insurance?

    I do not take insurance at this time. I accept major credit cards, cash, or check. Payment is due at the time of session. Most of my clients choose to keep a card on file so I can bill them after each time we meet. If you prefer to pay by cash or check, please bring these forms of payment with you to each session.

  • How much do sessions cost?

    My fee is $120 for 50-minute individual or couple therapy sessions. I am happy to schedule longer sessions at the same hourly rate. I see a limited number of clients on a sliding scale. A psychedelic-assisted therapy session (using ketamine or cannabis) lasts approximately two hours and costs $300; no sliding scale is available for psychedelic-assisted therapy.

  • How do I book a consultation or first session?

    You can request a first session online, or you are welcome to call or email me to set up a time. I will follow up to confirm your appointment request.

  • What does a first session look like?

    Before our first session, I will send a link to complete opening paperwork via a secure client portal. We spend our first reviewing what has caused you to seek therapy at this time, building a mutual understanding of each other, and discussing your goals for treatment.

  • How do psychedelic therapy sessions work?

    In my office or at your home, you get comfortable on a cozy couch with blankets and pillows. We set the stage by playing music and setting intentions for the session. You take a dose of your own cannabis or ketamine. (Ketamine requires a prescription - I can give you referrals). Then, you take your dose, and we focus deeply on what you are experiencing.

  • How can we tell that therapy is helping?

    This is another question that’s somewhat specific to each client. Each of us develops strategies for getting through life that become less effective over time, and we usually start therapy by confronting those beliefs and behaviors directly. Looking unflinchingly at what challenges us often doesn’t feel great, it is a critical step toward identifying better ways to operate! I would say that therapy is helping when at least one of several things starts to happen.
