COMMON QUESTIONS

Answers to help you get oriented.

Everything from how sessions work to insurance, fit, and what to expect—so you can move forward with a clearer sense of what feels right.

If you don’t see your question here, you’re always welcome to reach out.

Yes. All sessions are virtual and held through a secure telehealth platform. Research shows virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person care.
I primarily work with teens (13–17) and adults (20s-30s). I also see children (8–12) who are a good fit for virtual therapy, and support parents through SPACE-informed work.
Sessions are typically 45 minutes and held weekly. As progress builds, we may shift to biweekly.
We’ll talk about what brings you in, your goals, and relevant background. I’ll ask questions to understand patterns, and we’ll decide together what to focus on. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—we move at a manageable pace.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to you. Some focus on understanding patterns; others on practical tools and behavior changes. Most include both reflection and application.
Feeling safe and understood matters. Early sessions give you a sense of my style and space to ask questions. If another approach would be a better fit, I’m happy to help with referrals.
It depends on your goals and pace. Some clients work with me for a few months; others stay longer to explore deeper patterns or ongoing transitions.

I primarily work with:
- Anxiety and overwhelm
- Perfectionism and achievement pressure
- OCD-related behaviors and reassurance cycles
- ADHD and executive functioning challenges
- Parents of anxious youth.
SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is an evidence-based parent-focused intervention for childhood anxiety and OCD-related behaviors.
Yes. SPACE is designed for caregivers. Parent work can be effective whether or not your child is in therapy.
Yes. Teen sessions are primarily individual to support autonomy and trust. I may meet with parents periodically to discuss themes or offer guidance that supports treatment.

I am an out-of-network provider and can provide monthly superbills for reimbursement.
You may want to ask:
- Do I have out-of-network telehealth benefits?
- What percentage is reimbursed?
- Is there a deductible?
- Is prior authorization required?
- How do I submit a superbill?
- What CPT codes are covered?
Yes. Many clients are able to use Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds for therapy. You can check with your HSA/FSA provider to confirm your specific benefits.
Often yes, if your plan includes out-of-network telehealth benefits. Coverage depends on your individual policy, so it’s best to confirm directly with your insurer.
PSYPACT is an interstate agreement that allows licensed psychologists to provide telehealth across participating states.
I can see clients physically located in Massachusetts or any PSYPACT participating state.
- AL, AZ, AR, CO, CT, DE, DC, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MI, MN, MS, MO, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY, CNMI
As long as you are physically located in Massachusetts or a PSYPACT state during sessions, we can continue meeting. If you travel to a non-participating state, we would pause until you return.
Psychologists must follow the licensing laws of the state where the client is physically located during the session. PSYPACT ensures services remain legally and ethically compliant.
