It is important that you find a good therapy fit. I offer a free, 15 minute phone consultation to discuss your concerns, therapy needs, and ensure that I can offer you the support that you deserve. If desired, a more in-depth first appointment can be scheduled.
Cost: FREE
Prior to this appointment, I will send you initial paperwork to fill out through a HIPPA secure client portal. I am happy to provide you paper copies of these forms if that is desired. Please use the client portal to return these forms to me as email is not secure form of communication.
At our first appointment, we will again revisit your concerns, talk about your goals for therapy, and answer any questions or concerns you have about working with me. We will also discuss logistical details about scheduling, confidentiality, and billing.
Cost: $175.00
I believe that therapy is most effective if we agree on goals, a plan to achieve your goals, and find a regularly scheduled time to meet. Initially, it is sometimes best to meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Throughout our time together, we will revisit your goals and our working relationship to ensure that you find our time to be effective.
Cost: $150.00
I currently see clients for teletherapy through a secure, HIPPA compliant platform called Simple Practice. Telehealth or online video appointments have offered clients increased access and convenience to therapy and we will work together to make sure therapy via telehealth is a comfortable way for your to receive support.

I am an "in-network" provider for Medica, UnitedHealthcare/United Behavioral Health, Preferred One, and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
For other health insurance plans, I am considered "out-of-network" and payment is due at the time of appointment. I am happy to bill your insurance as a courtesy and/or provide you paperwork for reimbursement. It is always recommended that you call your insurance to inquire about your mental health benefits.
Please inquire if sliding scale fee options is desired.
Our time is important. I appreciate 48 hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. No show or cancellations less than 48 hours will be charged for services. If you are late to appointments, the session will be shortened.
Diversity is important to me. I consider myself an ally to those that have felt marginalized based on race/ethnicity, abilities, religions beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, If there is a way I can make therapy a safer space for you, please let me know.
When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.
When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network.
“Out-of-network” describes providers and facilities that haven’t signed a contract with your health plan. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.” This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your annual out-of-pocket limit.
“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care - like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider.
If you have an emergency medical condition and get emergency services from an out-of-network provider or facility, the most the provider or facility may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount (such as copayments and coinsurance). You can’t be balance billed for these emergency services. This includes services you may get after you’re in stable condition unless you give written consent and give up your protections not to be balanced billed for these post-stabilization services.
When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.
If you get other services at these in-network facilities, out-of-network providers can’t balance bill you unless you give written consent and give up your protections.
You’re never required to give up your protection from balance billing. You also aren’t required to get care out-of-network. You can choose a provider or facility in your plan’s network.
When balance billing isn’t allowed, you also have the following protections:
You are only responsible for paying your share of the cost (like the copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles that you would pay if the provider or facility was in-network). Your health plan will pay out-of-network providers and facilities directly.
Your health plan generally must:
