FAQs

  • I do not only work with men. Although I am specialized in men's mental health, I also see clients who identify as women, trans, and gender diverse/non-binary. The most important thing is that you think I am a good fit for your therapy needs!


    Book a consultation call and we can chat more to make sure we're a good fit.

  • The literature shows that there is no wrong choice when it comes to evidence-based treatments for trauma. What I will talk with you about during our first appointment is which treatment best maps onto your most prominent symptoms and how you think. You will get the best outcomes when we choose a treatment that not only addresses your symptoms but plays to the strengths you already have.

  • I am an out-of-network provider which means I do not accept insurance.

    In some cases, you may be eligible to use out-of-network insurance benefits. I can provide an invoice of our session that you can submit to your insurance provider. It is your responsibility to research what out-of-network benefits you may have and whether you will receive any reimbursement.

    I accept credit/debit card payment (including an FSA or HSA card). You will be respobile for paying for each session in full at the end of the appointment.

  • Virtually only. I am able to work with clients located in any PSYPACT state (click the link to see if your state is included).

  • I offer a free 20-minute consultation call where we talk about what your goals for trauma therapy are. We also talk about my approach as a therapist, rates, insurance, and availability. You can ask any questions I didn't answer in that time as well.

    If we both decide we are a good fit, we'll schedule the intake appointment. I'll make sure to send you a few forms to complete online before that appointment.

    During the intake appointment, I'll ask questions to get to know you better as well as assess the trauma symptoms you are experiencing. I will give feedback and treatment recommendations at the end of the session.

    From there, I typically meet with clients on a weekly basis and an episode of trauma focused care is around 3 to 4 months.

  • No! While some people may have PTSD, others might not have any idea and that's ok. I conduct an intake assessment with every client which includes a formal assessment for PTSD. I use the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5) to assess intensity of symptoms and will give you feedback on the result of the assessment to help with diagnostic clarity.
