FAQ

Like most therapists, I have an office space. I have a private office located in my home (Broadlands area, Ashburn, Virginia).

My office hours are somewhat dependent on my client’s availability.

I see some clients as early as 8 am and some as late as 7 pm.

I try to make myself available for clients Monday through Friday and take the weekends off for family time.

Unlike most therapists who only do 50-minute sessions, I give you 60 full minutes of my time, focus, and attention.

Yes, I see all the above! I also see some teens and kids.

My typical fee is $300/hour.

Rates for concierge therapy services vary depending on time needed and distance travelled.

I accept cash, checks, Venmo (app), Apple pay, and Google pay.

I do not accept any insurance plans.

Upon request, I will provide a statement containing all necessary information for you to seek reimbursement from your insurance for service by an out-of-network provider.

With exception of emergency situations, I require at least a 24-hour notice for cancellations.

If a session is cancelled with less than 24 hours before the scheduled appointment, a session fee will be charged.

During our sessions, nothing is more important to me than you. My clients tell me that I am very understanding, laid back, non-judgmental, and that empathy is my superpower.

My partner and daughters tell me that I’m a great listener, selfless, and dedicated to the people that I care for and serve as clients.

Although I live in Northern Virginia, I will always be a Vermonter at heart. You will often find me at home with family, building things in my shop, standing in a river fly fishing, or going for walks with my dog.

I love a good IPA, a nice plaid shirt, a mellow whiskey, occasional cigars, and delicious Vermont maple syrup.

You can look at my Testimonials page for more information on what my clients are saying about working with me.

Absolutely. I am friendly to any gender, race, creed, belief system, sexual orientation, and sexual preference.

I also treat clients in non-traditional relationships, including polyamory, open-relationships, kinky, swingers, etc.

You will be welcomed with open arms and zero judgment about your lifestyle choices.

This really depends on you. I have worked with clients for as few as 6-8 sessions and have worked with others for several years.

I will start by seeing clients weekly; at a point where things start getting better, we will transition to bi-weekly sessions.

Then, we will slowly move to every three weeks, once a month, and as needed.

Yes.

I have been practicing since the early 2000’s and have done pre-marital, marriage, individual, couples, group, family, and in-home counseling for a variety of different mental health diagnoses.

Everything! I love my job and often brag to my wife when I get home about how much I love what I do.

I love having deep conversations, building therapeutic relationships, and getting to know and being curious about my clients’ lives.

Yes! I have gone through and still do some of my own work.

We are never fully done with therapy, and it is my belief that the therapeutic relationship can be a needed respite and safe place during times of difficulty.

Absolutely! The therapeutic relationship is about trust, and I will be open and honest about my life as well.

I try to normalize things as much as possible for my clients and will sometimes share some of my own experiences to help you feel more human.
