My sessions are 50 minutes long, typically once a week, and meant to be individualized to each person. That can look like anything from talk therapy, Brainspotting, use of fidgets, or laying on the ground with your feet up in the air to help you regulate. I aim to show up as my authentic self as well, meaning I will likely be in comfy clothes and sipping on a coffee or using a fidget myself as we talk. I want clients to know they are safe to unmask and be themselves in therapy, so they can learn to embrace themselves.

I am currently credentialed with a few different insurance plans such as Optum/UHC, Aetna, and Cigna. Please reach out to me directly to verify eligibility.

Appointments cost $200 for both telehealth and in-person for private pay. I also offer sliding scale fees and a scholarship program for therapy, counseling, and social work students. To insure therapy is as accessible as possible I uset the economic justice model, ”The Green Bottle”, developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk to determine reduced fees. More information on this here.

In our initial consultation, we will discuss my fees and I can provide the Sliding Scale Fee Application if a fee reduction is needed at that time.

I am also able to a superbill for private pay clients (a receipt for services) that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

To find out if you are eligible to submit superbills: call the number on your insurance card and ask if you have out of network benefits for behavioral health; if so, ask how to submit the superbill as each insurance is different. I am happy to help walk you through this during a session as well.

Brainspotting is a treatment method developed by David Grand, Ph.D., which uses a combination of your visual field (a “brain spot”) and bilateral stimulation (such tapping or sounds) to help access, process, and release trauma “stored” in the body. This article from My Wellbeing and the below videos provide further in-depth information about this treatment, its effectiveness, and what to expect from a session.

HAES stands for Health At Every Size® and refers to the idea that a person can be healthy, and deserves respect and adequate treatment, regardless of their weight and body shape/size. You can learn more about this approach here.

What this means for therapy with me is that a focus of mine is to improve attunement and trust with your body, rather than weight loss. This may even mean I refer you to a HAES aligned Registered Dietitian, who can work with you to improve your relationship with food.

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.
