Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! While I specialize in infertility, I also support various mental health and life stress issues.

    You are a whole person, and our sessions are yours for you to determine what is most important for you to discuss.

    Whether you need to vent about work stress or practice setting boundaries, I’ll help you navigate life’s challenges.

  • No, you don’t need to be trying to conceive to start fertility counseling.

    I will support you at any stage of your fertility journey, whether you are trying, pausing, stopping, or exploring other paths. You deserve care that honors your journey.

  • My current rate for individual counseling is $190 per 50-minute session, with extended sessions available at a prorated rate.

    My rate for couples counseling is $225 per 50-minute session.

    I do not accept insurance directly, but I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

    Reduced service fees are available on a limited basis. Please call for more information.

  • I am not accepting insurance at this time.

    This allows me to offer more flexible, individualized care without the restrictions insurance can place on session frequency, length, or treatment approach.

    It also helps protect your privacy, as no diagnosis or records are shared with your insurance company.

  • Your scheduled appointment time is reserved specifically for you.

    With respect for both your time and mine, cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance will incur the full session fee.

    (And everyone gets one freebie-because I know that life sometimes gets in the way.)

  • If we begin working together, you are entitled to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining your session fees and estimated costs prior to your first session.
