I use the telehealth tool provided through “Simple Practice” for all online sessions, which is HIPAA compliant for confidentiality.  

I use a white noise machine outside my closed office door so that no one can hear what I say.  I also use headphones so that no one can hear what you say.  

No.  Quality therapy requires in-the-moment responses, which is not possible through text or email.  Email or texting is appropriate for administrative tasks such as confirming appointments and billing. 

Yes.  My rate is $175 per session.  I accept payments only through Zelle for telehealth sessions, and Zelle, cash, or check payments for in-person therapy at this time.  The first 15 minute phone consultation is for free.

I no longer accept insurance, but I can provide you a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company.  

When you pay for therapy with insurance, then a third party has access to your diagnosis and personal information.  With self-pay, a diagnosis isn’t required to submit anywhere and all information remains confidential with me unless you give me written permission to share it with someone else.  

In addition, with self-pay, no outside party is dictating how many sessions or what kind of therapy you need, when therapy should end, and how much it should cost.  There’s no surprise insurance bills for you.  

The first phone consultation is for free.  

I use Simple Practice EHR which provides secure, HIPAA compliant storage of all notes and information.   

I received a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Bowling Green State University.  I received an MS in Clinical Psychology and Art Therapy from Barry University.  I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida.
