Your Investment
Now is the time to invest in yourself, your mental wellness, & build the life you envisioned.
I understand that therapy is an investment of time, money, and energy in your desire to be the best version of yourself. Therapy can positively impact your life and wellbeing in the most amazing ways because of the insight, healing, and tools learned. I reserve a space especially for you and commit to helping you work towards your goals.
Your life and journey is important not only to you, but to me as well. As a result, I maintain a small caseload so that I can provide you the highest quality of care. This means bringing my knowledge and expertise to our sessions, preparation time outside of our session time, and continued education to remain on the cutting edge of new knowledge and developments in the psychology field.
My fee is $200 per 50-minute individual therapy session. Sessions are held weekly or bi-weekly depending on your goals and what has brought you to therapy. I also offer EMDR Intensive Therapy. You can learn more about my intensive packages by clicking here.
In the event you need to reschedule your session please give me 48 hours notice or you will be charged the full session fee. In the case of an unavoidable conflict or emergency we can discuss possible options to avoid the cancellation fee.

I do not accept insurance.
The decision to not take insurance is one that I have deeply considered and my reasoning is multifaceted. The primary reason is I want to be able to provide the services that you need and not be limited by the guidelines of insurance companies. I have chosen to work with you and it is important for me to be able to collaborate on a treatment plan that meets your needs and goals without interference.
When working with insurance companies they may decide that certain diagnoses or problems are not covered by their health plans. I believe it is important to be able to provide services whether they are preventative in nature or addressing longstanding concerns and insurance companies can create barriers to making this possible.
As a result, I have chosen to be an out of network provider. Your insurance may reimburse you for a portion of my fee if you have out-of-network benefits (usually PPO plans). I can provide you with the necessary information, a superbill, to use your out-of-network benefits if you have them. I have a list of questions and tips you can reference if you want to explore whether you have out-of-network benefits here.
Although you may have out-of-network benefits, it does not guarantee that you will be reimbursed for the sessions you have paid for out of pocket. Therefore, reimbursement for services should not be relied on to participate in services with me but should be viewed as a bonus.
Navigating the superbill reimbursement maze can be a challenge!
I know that navigating the superbill reimbursement process can be tough, especially when you already have so much on your plate. I have partnered with a company called Thrizer to ease this burden. Thrizer is a payment app that makes out of network therapy more accessible. They will check your benefits and estimated reimbursement, submit your out of network claims, and they offer real time claim status checks.
Once you schedule your first session, you can begin the onboarding process and upload your payment and insurance information into their HIPPA complaint system. I will complete the billing for our sessions through Thrizer’s portal and their team will handle everything else from there! You will then receive reimbursement directly from your insurer based on your out-of-network benefits.

When you get emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these cases, you shouldn’t be charged more than your plan’s copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible.
What is “balance billing” (sometimes called “surprise billing”)?
When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, like a copayment, coinsurance, or deductible. You may have additional 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” means providers and facilities that haven’t signed a contract with your health plan to provide services. Out-of-network providers may be allowed to bill you for the difference between what your plan pays 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 plan’s deductible or 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. Surprise medical bills could cost thousands of dollars depending on the procedure or service.
You’re protected from balance billing for:
Emergency services
If you have an emergency medical condition and get emergency services from an out-of-network provider or facility, the most they can bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount (such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles). 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.
Certain services at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center
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 can 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 types of 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 protections from balance billing. You also aren’t required to get out-of-network care. You can choose a provider or facility in your plan’s network.
When balance billing isn’t allowed, you also have these protections:
You’re only responsible for paying your share of the cost (like the copayments, coinsurance, and deductible that you would pay if the provider or facility was in-network). Your health plan will pay any additional costs to out-of-network providers and facilities directly.
Generally, your health plan must:
Cover emergency services without requiring you to get approval for services in advance (also known as “prior authorization”).
Cover emergency services by out-of-network providers.
Base what you owe the provider or facility (cost-sharing) on what it would pay an in-network provider or facility and show that amount in your explanation of benefits.
Count any amount you pay for emergency services or out-of-network services toward your in-network deductible and out-of-pocket limit.
