Counseling is typically pretty laid back. We basically just talk. I try my best to be a better listener than a talker. I try not to give advice, but to listen and walk alongside you as you process the situation and arrive at the best possible solution.

Sometimes the younger (and occasionally even the older) crowd prefers to fidget while we talk. I have a number of fidget toys in my office. I often find that this helps make the process less awkward for middle-high school students (and even adults) who may not be used to this process.

Yes. Everything that is said in the office stays there. Anything I write down is locked up at the end of the day and there are at least three locks separating it from outside our office.

The only exceptions to the rule are:

• A client tells me they are going to hurt/neglect someone else
• A minor tells me they are in imminent danger (or suicidal), at which point, caregivers are notified and appropriate action is taken.

I can offer both telehealth and in-person services. Whichever works best for you. We can meet at my office in Fortville, or online using a secure, HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing platform.

Yes. I am in-network with Anthem (excluding HIP/medicare/medicaid), Aetna, And United. Some things to note:

• Insurance companies will require an official diagnosis.
• We will need to check your benefit status before the first session. In some cases, this may require you to call and ask about your mental health coverage.
• You are responsible for anything not covered by your insurance.

Sessions are $150 each for self-pay. If we're using insurance, then it will vary based on your plan and coverage.
I am able to accept HSA (Health Savings Account) cards as well as debit, or credit.
