Relationships are where our deepest needs and our biggest triggers tend to show up. Whether you’re dating, married, co-parenting, rebuilding after betrayal, or simply feeling disconnected.

  • I do not offer a formal sliding scale. However, I understand that financial hardship can arise, and I approach these situations on a case-by-case basis when appropriate. If cost is a concern, you’re welcome to reach out to discuss options or determine whether therapy with me is a good fit at this time.

  • Insurance coverage for couples therapy varies by plan. Many insurance providers do not cover therapy when the primary focus is the relationship itself. When couples therapy is billed to insurance, it must meet medical necessity criteria and is typically billed under one identified client with a qualifying diagnosis.

    Coverage, benefits, and eligibility are verified through Headway prior to sessions. Some couples choose self-pay if they prefer not to involve insurance or if their plan does not cover couples therapy.

  • Couples therapy is structured, collaborative, and tailored to each relationship. Because every couple and situation is different, the process isn’t one-size-fits-all.
