Nope! I enjoy working with any adult who want to get to the bottom of the things they do, choices they make and patterns they have identified that are creeping up over and over.

No problem! Let’s chat about an Intensive, which is just a longer session-time. Get in, get out, get back to your life feeling better.

In order to do my best work, I keep my caseload small and specialize in certain modalities. To be able to achieve this, I do not accept insurance.

However, you are entitled to use your Out Of Network benefits for mental health. I have partnered with Thrizer to process these out of network claims. Please see their website for additional information and to get your free benefit information.

I choose not to take insurance for several reasons:

Self-Care: We all need to take care of ourselves, even therapists. By not working with multiple insurance companies, I don't have to see as many people. This keeps me from experiencing burnout (yup, it happens to me, too) and allows me to be more present and do my best work during your session.

Confidentiality: Your confidentiality is extremely important to me. Insurance companies are nosy AF. They want to make sure you really need therapy and they don't leave that decision up to either of us...the person who is struggling or the professional. Why let them determine your needs - they don't know you like that.

Diagnosis: If you want your insurance company to pay, they want a diagnosis. Quite frankly, I'm not going to give you one unless it's super duper necessary. This little code can have consequences for you and your family moving forward (think life insurance). If you do require a diagnosis, we'll talk about it and make sure it's completely necessary.

I have partnered with Thrizer to offer clients an easy way to check their out of network benefits so they can see what they will be charged (after deductibles are paid).

Yes! Some insurance plans offer out of network benefits. It is your responsibility to check these benefits with your insurance company. If your plan offers out of network benefits, you may be eligible to receive partial reimbursement for your sessions from your insurance company.

You will need to request a monthly Superbill from me. Then you have the option of submitting that on your own or utilizing the services through Thrizer to only pay your copay at the time of service. Please keep in mind that deductibles must be paid prior to your out of network benefits activating.

Please refer to Thrizer for how to access and use your Out Of Network benefits.

Individual session: $170 per 45-55 minute session (in person and online).

$75 for additional 30 minutes (in person and online). This must be pre-scheduled.

Your sessions are your time and can be structured however you want. If you need to leave a little early, no problem. Need a second session that week? That’s okay, too. Please be assured that I reserve this space in my schedule just for you. If you do not use all of the time allotted to you, however, your charge will still be the same.

For these same reasons, I require at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. If you do not attend your appointment or you cancel outside of the 24 hours, you will be charged the full session fee.

Payment is due at the time of service. You are required to keep an updated card on file.

If you have an outstanding balance that cannot be collected after 4 months I will turn this balance over to a collections agency. I don’t wanna do that so pleas pay your session fees.

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 (after your deductible is met if you have one), instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you on average 70% upfront on our sessions. Prior to our Intake, feel free to input your information on their website to see what your out of network benefits are.

Collaborative EMDR Therapy is an “all hands on deck” approach where two therapists join forces to provide the client with top notch and inclusive care. If your client is experiencing persistent trauma-related challenges, Collaborative EMDR Therapy steps in as a valuable tool. This approach allows the client to continue their work with you, their primary therapist, while also engaging with me, a secondary EMDR therapist, for a specific period and concern. Once the Intensive sessions are complete, the client returns to the primary Therapist to continue your work together.

So glad you asked! Have your client sign a release and then either of you can reach out to me to get things started. I look forward to working with both of you!
