My practice operates primarily on a self-pay basis — a model that protects your privacy and keeps the focus of our work between us, without outside influence on what we determine is right for your care.

That said, I am credentialed with several insurance plans, and individual therapy may be covered depending on your specific plan, benefits, and presenting concerns. Insurance coverage for therapy is more conditional than most people expect: it depends on your deductible, your plan's definition of medical necessity, and the nature of what you're working on. Not every reason a person seeks therapy meets an insurer's threshold for coverage.

It's also important to know that insurance does not cover relational issues in couples or family therapy. Because relationship concerns are not classified as a medical necessity, insurers do not reimburse for this work regardless of which plan you carry. Couples and family sessions I provide are always self-pay.

If you'd like to find out whether your insurance may apply to individual therapy, please reach out and we can look into it together. If you prefer to keep your treatment entirely private — even if your plan might otherwise apply — I offer an Opt-Out of Insurance form, which documents your informed choice to self-pay and keeps your records out of any insurance system entirely.

Payment is due at the time of your session. I accept major credit cards, HSA cards, and FSA cards.

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of therapy services. This estimate outlines the expected fees for your care. While actual costs may vary based on factors like the length or frequency of sessions, I’m happy to provide a detailed estimate upfront so there are no surprises. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.

If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement for individual therapy sessions.

Please note: superbills are available for individual therapy only. Couples and family therapy is not eligible for insurance reimbursement.

If you'd prefer that your treatment not be connected to your insurance record at all, you can sign an Opt-Out of Insurance form at the start of our work together. This documents your informed decision to self-pay and ensures that no claims, diagnosis codes, or session records are submitted to or accessible by your insurer.

You will also receive a Good Faith Estimate as part of your intake — so you have a clear picture of the expected cost of your care before we begin.

For many people — particularly those in licensed professions, public-facing roles, or navigating sensitive identity concerns — this level of privacy isn't a preference. It's a need.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice. Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice will be charged the late cancellation fee. This policy allows me to respect both your time and mine, as well as other clients who may need that time slot.

Finding the right therapist matters. I'd rather have that honest conversation early than have you invest time and energy in a fit that isn't right.

It's a chance for you to ask questions, share a little about what's bringing you to therapy, and get a feel for whether this practice might be a good fit. It's also a chance for me to understand what you're looking for and be clear about whether I can offer that.

Yes. I see clients in-person in Fort Lauderdale and via telehealth throughout Florida and North Carolina. Sessions are conducted on a HIPAA-compliant platform, and many clients find that the convenience of telehealth actually makes it easier to show up consistently — which matters a great deal for the depth of work we do together.

Yes. I provide therapy in both English and Turkish. If Turkish is your first language, or if there are parts of your inner life that simply exist more fully in Turkish, you don't have to translate yourself here.

We can work in whichever language serves you best — or move between both, as feels natural.

Yes, fully and without reservation. This is an affirming practice — not as a formality, but as a genuine clinical and personal commitment.

LGBTQ clients carry specific stressors that deserve to be understood on their own terms, not treated as incidental. You will not be asked to explain or justify your identity here.

That's more common than people expect, and it's worth saying directly: a poor therapy experience is often a poor fit experience.

The quality of the relationship between you and your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of whether therapy will help.

I'd encourage you not to let one experience close the door. And if you want to talk about what didn't work before, that's a completely fair place to start our consultation.

Some people come with a specific, contained concern and find meaningful relief in a few months. Others are working through patterns that took decades to form, and the work reflects that.

You can use the contact form on this site or reach out directly to request a free consultation. I'll get back to you within one business day.

From there, we'll find a time to talk and take it from there — one step at a time.
