Payment is due at time of session.

I am out of network for all insurance panels. Clients pay out of pocket and receive a superbill to submit as a claim to insurance. Depending on your benefits and deductible, you could get a portion of the cost reimbursed. You can also use your FLEX or HSA card to pay for sessions. Find out the details of what’s covered by calling your insurance company directly - ask them what your out of network mental health benefits are, and make sure you know your deductible. Also ask them what the “allowable amount” is. The allowable amount is different from the session fee (usually lower than the session fee).

Your insurance may tell you that you have a percentage covered after your deductible. Please note: the percentage is applied to an amount that insurance calls the “allowable amount.” This “allowable amount” is not the same as the session fee (in most cases lower than the session fee), and it is not publicly disclosed. Make sure you ask your insurance this when you call them.

What to expect at the first session

I will send you all the intake forms to read and fill out before we meet. This is done securely through my electronic health record, Simple Practice (you won’t even need to set up a password). Doing this before our first session gives you a chance to take the time you need to answer the questions on the intake. Many people say this process is helpful for reflecting on what you have been through and clarifying where you are now.

The first 10-15 minutes of our first session will be reiterating some important pieces of the paperwork, and then we get more into what you’re wanting from therapy and what’s going on right now.  

Every session after our initial meeting is 45 minutes, and we will meet every week, or more. Your credit card gets charged the same day as your session.

What to expect from therapy

You are in the driver’s seat. Together we examine your despair, excitement, disappointment, and longings. What comes to mind when you are sitting across from me is relevant, and will undoubtedly connect to themes that we can notice. Our time together will make space for tears, curiosity, confusion, being stuck, not knowing, ah-ha’s, muddling through, being surprised, connecting with yourself. What is not serving you will become more apparent and will fall away to leave more space for joy.

Therapy for Depression

Feel Alive Again

You know what alive feels like. You’re just not feeling it now. It’s possible to get there again.

Therapy for Anxiety

Nurture your resilience

Anxiety is telling you something. Listening with another person helps make it less scary.

HSP Therapy

Connect with your strengths

Brimming with empathy, reflective and intuitive - you’d like to live in a way that doesn’t leave you depleted.

What are my rights under the No Surprises Act?

You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.​

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.

  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service. You can also ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
