Frequently Asked Questions

  • Love it! Contact me for a FREE 20-minute phone or video consultation. During this call, you can ask any questions, share what you're looking for in therapy, and get a feel for how I work. If we both feel it's a good fit, I’ll invite you to set up a secure client portal where you can complete the intake forms and schedule your first session.

  • We’ll meet through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. You’ll just need a quiet, private space and an electronic device with a camera, microphone, and internet connection.

    Due to counseling licensure laws, I can only provide therapy to clients who are physically located in Pennsylvania at the time of each session. If you’re a counselor seeking supervision, you must also be working toward Pennsylvania licensure requirements.

  • Yes, in-person sessions are available in Huntingdon Valley, PA to established clients only and offered by appointment when I'm onsite.

    Sessions take place inside the Resilience Resource Center, which is a nonprofit focused on building resilience in marginalized communities.

  • If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. This allows time to offer the spot to someone else who may be waiting.

    Late cancellations or missed sessions will be charged a $75 fee.

  • Yes, I am currently in-network with most major insurance companies including: Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare/Optum, Independence Blue Cross, BlueCross Blue Shield, Highmark, Quest and Carelon Behavioral Health. I am also a Carebridge EAP Provider. I do not accept Medicare or Medicaid.

    • Privacy and Confidentiality: Paying out of pocket keeps your therapy fully private. Unlike using insurance, there’s no need to share session details, diagnoses, or progress updates, so your information stays completely confidential.

    • No Diagnosis Needed: Insurance usually requires a mental health diagnosis to cover sessions. With self-pay, you don’t need a diagnosis, making therapy accessible even if you’re just seeking personal growth or support.

    • More Flexibility: Self-pay gives you control over your therapy. We can focus on what works best for you without worrying about insurance restrictions on the number of sessions or the types of techniques we use.

    • Reimbursement Options: If your insurance offers out-of-network coverage, I can provide a Superbill (a receipt for your payments) that you can submit for possible partial reimbursement. Please note, a mental health diagnosis is required for this option. To learn more about your rights and cost transparency, visit the No Surprises Act.

  • Holistic health is an approach to wellness that honors the mind, body, and spirit connection. It considers all parts of your life including your emotional, physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being because each part influences the whole. Rather than focusing only on symptoms or a diagnosis, holistic care explores how your daily experiences, relationships, identity, and environment shape your mental health.

    In my practice, this means we’ll look at the full context of your life so that your care is supportive, personalized, and aligned with what matters most to you.

  • A closed support group is where the same participants attend each session, creating a consistent and confidential environment. Once the group begins, no new members are able to join. Closed groups help foster deeper connections and trust among participants as they work through shared experiences together.

  • No, I don't prescribe medication but I can work alongside your prescribing doctor such as a PCP, Psychiatric NP or Psychiatrist to support your treatment.

  • Peace Be Still Holistic Health, LLC is not a crisis or mental health emergency service. Please call, text or chat the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by dialing 988 or at 988lifeline.org, go to the nearest Emergency Room or dial 911.
