50-minute sessions: $150
In order to set realistic treatment goals and priorities, it is important to evaluate what resources you have available to pay for your treatment. I do not accept insurance, and you will be expected to pay for each session at the time it is held.
Accepted forms of payment include credit/ debit cards and HSA/FSA accounts. A credit/ debit card is required to be kept on file.

I work with driven women who are struggling with self-esteem, stress, and unfulfilling relationships.
I provide individual therapy but may invite partners/spouses and family members into the process when clinically appropriate. I do not offer couples therapy where the relationship is the identified concern, and I do not work with anyone under 18.

I am NOT contracted with any insurance companies, nor will I work directly with your insurance company to obtain in- or out-of-network benefits. In addition, I am not an eligible provider for Medicare which means they will not reimburse for any mental health services provided by me.
I am willing to provide you with a “superbill” if you want to use your out-of-network benefits. Still, know that any and all billing or benefits issues related to your insurance company are between you and your insurance company. Also, remember that you cannot use your out-of-network benefits without meeting the criteria for medical necessity. Please note that utilizing this feature would require me to provide your insurance company with a mental health diagnosis for you, which will be a part of your permanent medical record.
If knowing what your benefits will cover impacts whether you’d pursue therapy with me, please call your insurance company before contacting me to learn about your out-of-pocket expenses.

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item.
