Virtual Therapy Rates & FAQs

You don’t need to be artistic or creative to benefit from art therapy. This work isn’t about talent or making “pretty” pictures. It’s about expressing what words alone can’t fully hold — especially emotions like rage, grief, loss, anxiety, depression, fear, stress, and overwhelm.

We’ll use simple, low-pressure materials like pens, markers, watercolor, or collage to meet you where you are. You’re welcome to use what you already have on hand. There’s no pressure to build a big art supply collection, just a willingness to explore. I also provide a suggested list of materials for those who want guidance or wish to expand their toolkit.

If creative expression resonates, we’ll use it. If not, we’ll pivot to talk therapy, somatic tools, or storytelling. The process is always tailored to you.

I offer therapy only to Maryland residents, per licensure rules.

In our first sessions, you’ll step into a warm, nonjudgmental space where your story guides the work. Together, we’ll pinpoint one or two clear goals to tackle. Throughout therapy, you’ll have full permission to vent, gain fresh perspective, and uncover new insights. I’ll offer honest, compassionate feedback as you learn to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. Sometimes the work is intense, and sometimes it sparks laughter and relief—either way, I’m here to hold space for every part of your healing journey and support the change you’re ready to create.

Ongoing exploration. Each session blends a gentle check-in with deeper inquiry—an opportunity to vent, reflect on your experiences, and uncover fresh insights into the patterns that shape your life.

Skill building & iteration. We’ll introduce evidence-informed coping strategies—whether it’s shifting unhelpful thoughts, tuning into somatic regulation, or reshaping your personal narrative—and refine them together until they feel authentic and useful in your day-to-day.

Creative expression. Whenever words fall short, we’ll draw on art-based, movement, or other expressive modalities to access emotions and stories that live beneath the surface.

Celebration & support. Every breakthrough—big or small—deserves acknowledgment. I’ll be here to honor your progress, hold space during the tough moments, and invite lightness whenever it emerges.

Client-driven pace. There’s no rigid timeline. Whether we meet weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, your needs set the rhythm. I’ll adjust our approach to match your evolving goals and energy, ensuring your journey remains both safe and empowering.

This framework ensures you always know what to expect as we move from that first conversation into a sustained, trauma-informed partnership that honors your unique path.

I accept all major credit cards, including HSA and FSA cards, because mental health care is health care. 

Payments are processed at the time of your session, so there’s no chasing invoices or surprise billing. 

Yes! If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, you can absolutely use those benefits to help pay for therapy. Every insurance plan is different and thus reimburses differently, so I suggest you call the members services number on the back of your insurance card to ask about your out-of-network deductible, copay percentage, reimbursement rate for psychotherapy CPT codes 90791 (psychotherapy assessment) 90837 (one hour individual psychotherapy), and any session limits.

You have a few options:

1. Submit your own superbill
I can provide a monthly superbill with all the necessary information your insurance company needs. You’ll pay the session fee upfront, then submit the paperwork to your insurance provider for direct reimbursement.

2. Use Thrizer Pay to pay just your co-pay
Once your deductible is met, Thrizer allows you to use your out-of-network benefits without having to pay the full session fee upfront. Instead, you pay only your co-pay at the time of session, and Thrizer handles the rest. I still receive my full rate, and you avoid waiting on insurance reimbursements. 

Yes! Research shows that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in‑person work. Because you’re meeting from your own space, the work often feels more deeply grounded and relevant to your daily life.

I don’t provide emergency or crisis services.
