A: No, not yet.  I am currently doing sessions only via my secure telehealth platform; I will be returning to in-person sessions part-time, likely in the spring, but have not yet decided a return date.

A: No, I do not see individuals under the age of 17.5 years old.

A: I provide psychodiagnostic and personality assessments designed to bring clarity and a deeper understanding of your mental health and overall functioning. These evaluations explore areas such as personality, interpersonal style, strengths, and challenges, using research-backed, standardized tools. The goal is to create a comprehensive picture that can guide diagnosis, treatment planning, and personal growth.

A: Yes, I provide comprehensive testing to evaluate for ADHD and determine whether a diagnosis is appropriate. The assessment process not only clarifies the presence (or absence) of ADHD, but also explores related factors that may be affecting attention, focus, and daily functioning. This ensures you receive accurate results and recommendations tailored to your needs.

A: Yes, possibly.  Out of pocket is always an option, and many insurances allow what is referred to as out-of-network reimbursement and billing.  If your insurance allows OON reimbursement (typically allowed if your plan is PPO, less typical if you have an HMO), I can provide a “superbill” once the session is paid for, and you can submit this to your insurance company for reimbursement according to the plan you have with them.  You would just need to look at your insurance benefits and/or confirm with your insurance plan that this is allowed.

A: That depends on the state where you are physically located; licensing depends on where YOU are located, not where I am located.  I am a participating member of PsyPact, which means I can see current clients traveling to any of the member states.  However, not all states participate in PsyPact, so please inform me if you plan to travel and wish to see me during your time out of Michigan.

A: I am currently a participating member with PsyPact, which allows licensed psychologists with an EPassport to follow and conduct teletherapy with existing clients to these participating member states.  If you are someone who travels frequently and needs that flexibility to engage in regular psychotherapy, please visit their website to determine whether this option will work for you.   

A: You can either go to the client portal and login to see the unique URL associated with that session, or you can go to your email to find the link; it should be contained within your email reminders for that session.  

A: I offer both Prolonged Exposure therapy for trauma (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma (CPT).  Both are evidence-based methods of helping you to overcome your PTSD and make peace with your trauma(s).  However, it is worth noting that whether these treatments will be right for you (or even right for you right now) is always something I evaluate before we start this type of work.  It is sometimes necessary to work on other things before trauma work can be started safely and effectively. 

I do not offer EMDR at the present time; while EMDR has evidence to support its effectiveness for trauma specifically, the treatment has remained somewhat controversial within the psychological community as the theoretical basis for EMDR has not held up well in basic research.  Please see here for a good recap of these issues.  If you are specifically looking for EMDR, I can offer referrals to other providers in the area who do provide this treatment approach. 

A: Xfinity, my former phone provider, goofed and cancelled my previous phone line without notice; apologies!  Please see the updated phone number on my website currently for the best way to reach me by phone, or use the Contact Me form below to send me an email.
