Yes, I currently accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, Cigna, Oscar Health, Oxford, and United Healthcare.

I offer private pay.  Please contact me for current rates.

I am currently offering individual therapy sessions via telehealth.  I do not provide family or couples therapy at this time.

Currently, I only provide telehealth sessions to clients located anywhere in the state of Arizona.  That means you can have your session while you are traveling within the state, anywhere in Arizona if you have a computer, laptop, or mobile phone with internet connection or Wi-Fi.  You have the option to download a free app for mobile phones (iPhone and android).

You can contact me at (602)699-5444, or you can click on the client portal button to schedule an appointment.  Please note that you will be required to complete the intake paperwork and questionnaires at least 24 hours before your first session.  I will email you a link to the client portal where you can access these documents.  This is where you will be able to provide your insurance coverage information.

The frequency of our sessions will be scheduled depending on your needs.  Each session will be for 53 minutes, leaving me seven minutes to complete paperwork related to the session.  Our first session will be about getting to know each other, gathering background information, and discussing goals and needs.  By the end of our first session, you will have an idea of what areas we will work on, and which modality I will use in our sessions. I will also explain therapy policies and rules I have to follow according to the state law.

All subsequent sessions will begin with a check-in of current symptoms, homework assignments (if any), following by current needs or goals that need to be addressed.  We will end the session with a set of new skills and strategies, as well as homework assignments (if applicable) to use between sessions.  You will identify the “takeaway” from the session.

My goal as a therapist is to help you work on your issues in the shortest amount of time, so that you no longer need me. The length of treatment depends on various factors, including diagnosis and needs, modality used, severity of the problem, protective factors, and your readiness to do the work.  You will meet with me at least once a week for one hour, but it is crucial that you keep your focus and utilize the learned material and skills between sessions.  Most clients feel relief after the first session.

I require at least 24 hours of notice before your appointment.  Any cancellations made within 24 hours of your session will have a charge of a 100 dollar fee.

I graduated from Argosy University in 2012 and obtained my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling.  I have been licensed in Arizona since then.  I have worked in the behavioral health field since 2008, and I have worked in multiple settings including children services at nonprofit organizations, shelters for unaccompanied minors, agencies that work with DCS for family integration and mandated treatment clients, as well as working with adult male inmates at a state prison in the protective custody unit.
