  • I currently don't work with insurance, but I can offer you a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursements. I recommend calling the number on the back of your insurance card to see if your insurance covers out-of-network reimbursements.

    Why I Don’t Accept Insurance

    As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide personalized, compassionate care that truly supports your healing journey. While insurance can make therapy more accessible in some cases, it also comes with significant limitations that can interfere with the quality and flexibility of treatment. Here are the main reasons I choose not to work directly with insurance companies:

    1. Diagnosis Requirement
      Insurance companies require a formal mental health diagnosis in order to reimburse for therapy sessions. While diagnoses are appropriate and helpful in certain situations, they can feel limiting or even stigmatizing for some clients. I believe in working with you as a whole person, not as a label or set of symptoms.

    2. Control Over Treatment
      Insurance companies often dictate the frequency, length, and type of therapy you can receive. This can restrict the treatment process and prevent us from tailoring therapy to your unique needs and goals. Without these restrictions, we can work together to create a pace and approach that feels right for you.

    3. Privacy and Confidentiality
      When you use insurance, your mental health records are often shared with your insurance company. This can include sensitive personal information about your treatment. By not billing insurance, I am able to ensure that your privacy is fully protected and that your therapeutic experience remains confidential.

    4. Flexible and Holistic Approaches
      Insurance companies typically only cover traditional forms of therapy and may not reimburse for holistic or innovative approaches such as Brainspotting, parts work, or somatic techniques. By working outside the constraints of insurance, I can offer these evidence-based, cutting-edge modalities that are often more effective for healing and growth.

    5. Empowering Your Investment in Therapy
      Paying out of pocket for therapy can feel like a significant investment, but it also allows you to take full ownership of your mental health journey. Many clients find this deepens their commitment to the process and leads to greater, longer-lasting results.

    Choosing therapy is a courageous step toward your well-being, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services.

    • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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 or call 800-985-3059.
