Frequently Asked Questions
What will the initial session be like?
This will be an opportunity to thoroughly explore your goals, history, and current behaviors and patterns. I will conduct a comprehensive intake including typical eating patterns, sleep, physical activity, relevant lab values from recent doctor’s appointments, medical history, any medications or supplements you are currently taking, work schedule, etc. In the first session, we will review the intake and begin to unpack, skill-build, and plan around areas of concern. You will leave the first session with a plan that will include a list of recommendations and resources.
How many follow-up sessions will I need?
This really depends! Follow-up sessions are an opportunity to dig deeper and peel back more of the layers surrounding relationship with food and eating behaviors. They facilitate ongoing learning and keep you connected to support. The frequency of meetings will depend on our schedules and how often we both feel would make sense for you. In the beginning, frequency may be on a weekly or twice monthly basis. Beyond that, we may shift to monthly and eventually ad-hoc basis, when you feel you need it.
What ages do you work with?
I work with adults and teens. For teenagers in eating disorder recovery, I require parent involvement, and only see teens ages 16 and older. It is important to me that we both agree that I am a good fit. If you have any questions about this, please e-mail me. If needed, I can always connect you with other resources.
What is your availability?
I currently see clients Monday - Friday.
Can you work with my other providers?
Absolutely. Outcomes are strongest when your team is communicating and aligned, whether that means working with your doctor, therapist, or other providers. I will coordinate with your team as needed.
Are your appointment virtual or in-person?
I currently offer virtual appointments through HIPPA-secured telehealth platform. I don't have an in-person option at this time.
Do you take insurance?
Yes, I am in-network with several insurance companies! Please check my "rates and insurance" website page for more details.
Do you offer a sliding scale?
Yes, I offer a limited number of sliding scale appointments. If you feel like this would benefit you, please inquire.
