Fees & FAQ
Therapy is an investment in your time, energy, and money. For all these reasons, finding the right therapist matters, which is why I emphasize “the fit.” I take my work seriously and keep my practice intentionally small. I want to have the time and energy to actually know my clients, think deeply about their work, and offer care that is highly personalized rather than one-size-fits-all. Quality over quantity - which is reflected in my fee structure.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance. However, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Scroll down to check your out-of-network benefits.
Before scheduling your first session, I invite you to book a free 15-minute phone consultation, which gives us a chance to briefly discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.

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

Let’s talk insurance
Many people are surprised to learn that their insurance plan may help cover therapy, even if they see an out-of-network therapist. Use the widget below to check your out-of-network benefits!
If your plan offers these benefits, I'll provide a monthly superbill (an itemized receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company.
The widget below can give you a simple answer, but you can also double check by calling your insurance company. A few helpful questions:
Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
What is my out-of-network deductible?
What percentage of therapy costs will be reimbursed after my deductible is met?
Do I need preauthorization?
Are services provided by a Therapist Associate under supervision eligible for reimbursement?
Every plan is different, so reimbursement can vary widely. Some clients receive a significant portion of their session fee back, while others may not have out-of-network coverage. Your insurance company can tell you exactly what your benefits look like. You may be pleasantly surprised!

I do bring Harley to work as an ‘office dog’ a few times a month. She is well trained, socialized and extremely calm. I get written and verbal consent from all clients beforehand and am always happy to leave her at home if you’re not a dog person, have allergies, or simply don’t want the distraction.
