FAQs

I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay your co-insurance for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be.

The first session is an intake. During the session, I will gather information on therapy goals, symptoms, and background information such as medical health, previous treatment, family history. Also, I will explain the therapy process, review paperwork, and answer any questions you may have. Then I will create a treatment based on your mental health needs with your input.

Therapy is such a unique experience and is different in its length and intensity. It varies with the complexity of the issue, how long it has been troubling and how much work any individual can do in context with their lives. For simpler issues that don’t have a history to them 6-12 months is common. For trauma, major depressive disorders, and grief may be longer or ongoing. The term will be discussed with you and goals are reviewed every 6 months.

Effective January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act, which Congress passed as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, is designed to protect individuals from surprise bills for emergency services at out-of-network providers at in-network facilities. The No Surprises Act also enables uninsured individuals to receive a good faith estimate of the cost of care.

I am partnered with Open Path and offer sessions based on their sliding scale fees.
