FAQs

At the moment, I offer telehealth only. With the convenience of meeting you where you’re at, telehealth can be just as effective as in-person work. I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform called Simple Practice for video sessions, and you will receive a link to join prior to your session start time.

I work with individuals aged 18 and older who are navigating a wide range of concerns, including chronic illness, neurodiversity, and LGBTQIA+ identities. My practice also focuses on supporting clients through identity development, life transitions, anxiety and depression, grief, self-esteem challenges, and more.

• To start therapy, reach out to me via email, phone, or the contact form on my website. We'll schedule a free 15-minute consultation to determine if we’re a good fit.

• If we decide to move forward, I’ll tentatively schedule your first session and send you a link to your client portal. From there, you will complete and review the necessary forms and documents. Once those are completed, I’ll confirm your appointment and send you a link for our first session.

• If you're using insurance, we will verify your benefits and confirm the session cost before we meet.

I accept Premera, Regence, BCBS, Aetna, and First Choice. I am also able to provide superbills which you can submit to other insurance plans for reimbursement. Additionally, my private pay rate is $160 per 50-55 minute session.

Of course! There are a few options to consider:

• Private Pay: My private pay rate is $185 for the initial session and $160 for subsequent 50-55 minute sessions.

  • Superbills: I can provide superbills if your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits. You will pay the private pay rate upfront, and I’ll provide the documentation for you to submit for reimbursement.

  • Sliding Scale: I offer a limited number of sliding-scale spots for clients experiencing financial difficulties. Please inquire about availability.

• When we connect, we can discuss which option works best for you.

• If your insurance plan has out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement for our sessions. Coverage rates typically range from 40-80%.

• Here’s how it works:

  • Verify your out-of-network benefits by contacting your insurance company.

  • Once sessions begin, pay the full session fee upfront.

  • At the end of each month, I will provide paperwork called a "super bill” that you can submit directly to your insurance. 

  • Your insurance company will reimburse you at the agreed-upon rate

• The No Surprises Act is a federal law that protects clients from unexpected medical bills. If you are uninsured or plan to pay privately without submitting a claim to insurance, you are entitled to a good faith estimate of the costs for your sessions.

• I can provide this estimate upon request or when scheduling your first appointment if you intend to pay privately.

Life happens! If you need to cancel, please give at least 24 hours’ notice. If something comes up last minute, I will do my best to offer an alternative appointment time during the same week.
