How do I get started?

Please email me directly and we can review what you are looking for and availability. If we have worked together in the past and you are hoping to reestablish, please mention this in the email and I will prioritize working with you again.

Do you take insurance? How does that work?

I am in-network with several insurance companies in Maine. Please check benefits with your insurance company prior to getting started. If I am in-network it is common to have a cost-sharing expense or deductible that applies.

If I am out-of-network with your insurance, please know that many insurances offer out-of-network coverage for behavioral health services. You will need to pay for therapy at the time of service and I can provide you with a superbill for you to seek reimbursement with your insurance company. Many insurances offer out-of-network coverage. I do accept HSA cards.

What else do I need to know?

• All sessions are 55 minutes in length

• I use SimplePractice for scheduling, paperwork, and billing. After we confirm our first session, I will send out paperwork that you can complete virtually. This includes insurance information, demographics, privacy practices, HIPPA information, and intake questions.

• I have a first-floor office in Portland with ample parking and additionally provide HIPPA-compliant virtual sessions. If you are coming in person, be aware there are stairs to enter the building and a waiting area just inside, just have a seat when you arrive and I will be out shortly. Newborns and pre-crawling are welcome, just please be aware I don’t have a changing table accessible so please bring a changing pad.

• If you are waiting more than 5 minutes or running late, please text my number.
