Fees
Therapy is a place to discover who you are and to free yourself of unwanted insecurities, feelings, ideas; and I believe it should be affordable. I charge $160 for our first initial session and $160 per 55 minute session thereafter. Couples sessions are bill at $135 per 55 min session. If you are bound by extreme financial limitations, but have a desire and drive to invest in therapy, we can discuss fee options and sliding scale. I have a limited number of reduced fee slots for those experiencing financial hardship.
CA residents, I can only offer teletherapy services at this time. The rates are the same, and I am out of network for these services. I will provide you with documentation that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
I accept cash, check, and major credit and debit cards as well as HSA/FSA cards.
Payment is due at the beginning of each appointment.

Insurance
I am in network with the following providers and plans:
Premera
Anthem
First Choice Health
Group Health/Kaiser PPO (not the Core Plans)
Cigna
I am considered an out-of-network provider by most insurance companies. I do not work directly with insurance companies. This isn't always a bad thing. What this means for you is that the work we do together, often stays between you and me. It also means that we can pace our treatment in ways that are governed by your needs and not by the managed medical care system. There is no need to provide a diagnosis or badger the insurance company for coverage. This simplifies our financial interaction. This also means that the majority of clients who have insurance are eligible to be reimbursed a significant portion of my fee. Upon request, I can provide a receipt or superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. I do not bill directly to insurance companies that I am not in-network with.
To determine if you will be reimbursed for my services by your insurance, the first thing you should do is call them.

Here are some questions to ask your insurance company:
- Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
- How much does my plan reimburse for an out-of-network provider? (What percentage of the fee will I be reimbursed?)
- Is approval required from my primary care physician?
- What is my deductible and has it been met?
- How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
- Is couple’s counseling covered, or only individual therapy?
- Are there any restrictions regarding the type of therapy or the practitioner’s credentials?
- Are there any other restrictions I should know about, or any other questions I should be asking?
