You’re In the Right Place
You deserve to feel more like yourself, more whole, more human. Therapy is an investment in reclaiming your peace, your joy, and your capacity to grow. You can flourish by giving yourself the attention and support you need. Lending yourself a hand through therapy is an act of self-love, helping you create a life that feels aligned and meaningful.
I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation to ensure we are the right fit for this meaningful work together.

Insurance
I am credentialed with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), which means I can directly bill your insurance for our sessions. It is important to verify your plan benefits before we begin. Check whether your plan covers mental health services, if there are any co-pays or deductibles, and whether pre-authorization is required. Clients are responsible for any fees not covered by BCBS, including deductibles or co-pays.
Superbills
If you have an insurance plan other than BCBS, I can provide you with a superbill, which is an itemized receipt for services rendered. You can submit the superbill to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Coverage and reimbursement depend on your specific plan, so it is essential to check your out-of-network mental health benefits.
Investment/Insurance FAQs
-
Ask your insurance company the following:
Does my plan cover out-of-network mental health services?
What percentage of fees are reimbursed for out-of-network providers?
Is there a deductible I need to meet before reimbursement begins?
How do I submit a claim with a superbill?
While I will provide you with all the necessary documentation, please note that I am not responsible for whether your insurance reimburses you.

Some clients prefer not to use insurance for therapy, and there are pros to this approach.
Greater privacy: Insurance companies typically require a mental health diagnosis for reimbursement and may have access to some of your therapy records. Paying privately keeps your treatment confidential.
More flexibility: Insurance can limits the type, frequency, or length of therapy. Paying out-of-pocket allows us to tailor sessions to your needs without those restrictions.
No diagnosis required: Therapy can be a space for personal growth and exploration that may not fit within the framework of a clinical diagnosis required by insurance.
I strive to make therapy as accessible as possible by offering a sliding scale for those facing financial challenges. If you are uncertain about whether to use insurance or pay privately, I am happy to discuss your options during our consultation.

I accept credit/debit cards and HSA/FSA cards. Payment is processed at the time of your session.

Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis for reimbursement, and they may not cover certain therapeutic approaches. I can help navigate your options, but ultimately, insurance coverage is determined by your provider.

I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to the full session fee. This is not covered by your insurance. Additionally, if you need paperwork, letters, or extensive coordination of care, there may be a separate fee. Let me know what you need, and we can discuss any applicable costs.
Good Faith Estimate
Effective January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act, which Congress passed as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, is designed to protect patients from surprise bills for emergency services at out-of-network facilities or for out-of-network providers at in-network facilities, holding them liable only for in-network cost-sharing amounts. The No Surprises Act also enables uninsured patients to receive a good faith estimate of the cost of care. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients 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. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment and hospital fees.
Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
