You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Yes! I am in network with BCBS, Aetna insurance plans. Do you want to work together but I don’t take your insurance? Never fear! Often times, insurance plans offer reimbursement for Out of Network services. You should check your insurance plan online or calling to find our what your OON benefits are. I can provide a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement. You can also use HSA/FSA accounts to pay for therapy.

Please note: parent coaching, intensives, walk-and-talk sessions, and extended sessions are services that are not covered by insurance.

Yes! If you are unsure if what you are up against is OCD, anxiety, an eating disorder, or something else, please come see me and we can determine that together in our first few sessions. A clear diagnosis can help create a clear path forward to feeling free in your mind and body. A strained relationship with your body, food, or movement is worth working on, no matter what we name it.

If you like my vibe and think we’d be a good match, but you want to just walk through some general life matters, relationship woes, or life transitions, you are welcome here too!

Yes I do! If bringing your faith into the counseling room is important to you, I can be of support on your journey. If you are exploring your faith, wanting to strengthen your spiritual beliefs or practices, or simply want to talk with a counselor of Christian faith, I’m your gal. I’ll let you set the pace on how much or how little you’d like to incorporate spirituality into therapy sessions.

I recommend getting started with weekly sessions, and continuing that pace for about three months. After a strong foundation is built, meeting every-other-week, and then as needed for tune-ups is the goal, so long as you are thriving and ready!

At this time, I schedule sessions starting at 9am and my last session of the day starts at 3pm. On Thursdays, I have a few coveted evening spots (currently full), and as my schedule allows, I will do Saturday morning walk-and-talk sessions or telehealth sessions. Fridays are for emails, notes, admin, and trainings!

I am currently forming a waitlist for new clients! Please reach out to discuss working together when an opening is available in the coming months!
