What insurances do you take?

I take BlueCross BlueShield PPO IL, Blue Choice PPO, Aetna PPO IL, and United Health Care PPO (Optum). I am in the process of applying to work with Cigna.

Do you see clients in-person or virtually?

Both! But I do have limited availability, so let’s see if our schedules align.

What is therapy like?

Therapy is a unique process for everyone, so it’s a bit hard to describe, but I’ll give it a shot. Our first couple of sessions are us getting to know each other. In our very first session we will go over the responses you gave in your intake forms to ensure I understand them. I might take notes during our first and second sessions, which otherwise I likely won’t do. In our following meetings, we will continue to build rapport and hopefully build a comfortable flow for our conversations. The format of our conversations can vary. Some people find it helpful to jump right in and share the highlights and challenges of their week. Sometimes sessions start slowly because time is needed to reflect on what’s happened since we last met. I will sometimes ask about something in particular, but I try to check in with what you want to focus because I want to spend time on what’s important to you.

Do you offer discounted and/or sliding scale rates?

I do offer discounted rates, but can only offer them to a limited amount of clients, so please check in with me and I’ll let you know if it’s available!

Can we sit on the floor during session?

Yes! I usually do this when I meet with clients in person, but I can also do so virtually if you’d like. Please let me know what your seating preference is!
