Therapy is not one-size fits all
Your process doesn’t have to look like other people’s process and sometimes it’s worse before it gets better... and getting better doesn’t always feel familiar.
Your job is to show up as you are and to speak what you experienced and experience. My job is to walk alongside you, to focus our time on your healing. We will work as a team to make therapy as tolerable as possible, so that the energy is focused on healing the parts that are hurting and letting your light shine through.

$180/50 minute session

Insurance
Do you accept insurance?
No, I do not directly bill any insurance companies. I am more than happy to provide you with documentation to submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement. However, I highly recommend considering the benefits of not utilizing insurance for your mental health.
Are there any benefits to not using insurance?
Your Personal Information is Protected: I’m sure the first thing that comes to mind is “Isn’t my personal information already protected by laws?” This is true, but only to a certain extent.
The use of any insurance benefits requires a mental disorder diagnosis for any type of reimbursements. This diagnosis becomes part of your medical record, which is not only seen by multiple people within your insurance company but can also be shared with other insurance companies. Just having a certain mental disorder diagnosis can increase fees for life or disability insurances. Employers can request that you release your medical record (and mental disorder diagnosis), which means more eyes on your personal health information. By not using insurance, you are guaranteed the most protection of your medical information posible.
No Restrictions or Requirements: Insurance companies usually come with a plethora of requirements or restrictions in order for services to be applicable for reimbursements. Some companies require certain evaluations or testing that may not be relevant to your needs as a client. Imagine, by not using insurance you are completely in control of your therapeutic journey — no restrictions, no limits. Our session time is your time.
Emotional Buy In & Commitment: I’m sure you remember the feeling of purchasing your very first car, expensive tech gadget, or some other large purchase — pride, joy, and a keen commitment to protecting your investment. The investment in your emotional well-being is no different! Investing your own time and money means you will work harder to really get the greatest benefits out of counseling. Even at the highest rates, therapy still amounts to a cheaper cost than the average cost of braces. Is your emotional well-being and happiness a good investment?
Flexibility: I am your therapist. I understand when things affect payment on certain dates. This allows me to take into consideration real-life hardships in order to ensure continuity of your care. Insurance billing does not allow for any flexibility in payments
I can accept your HSA or flex card without having to disclose or involve your insurance company.
I’m still interested in using my insurance. How do I do this?
I can send you monthly Superbills (basically receipts of services received) to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. I cannot submit these superbill on your behalf.
What will my reimbursement be if I do this?
I cannot provide an estimate as every insurance plan has different out-of-network benefits and some do not have any out of network coverage at all. Every insurance card has a member services phone number that can provider detailed information about your benefits.
