Do you accept insurance?

Therapy services are currently self-pay only. Insurance billing options with BCBS will be available in 2026. If you would like to be notified when insurance billing becomes available, please contact us to be added to our notification list.

For self-pay clients

Under the No Surprises Act, self-pay and uninsured clients have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of non-emergency services. You can request a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during your care.

Benefits of self-pay services

• No required diagnosis – You can receive counseling without having to meet insurance criteria or be assigned a mental health diagnosis, allowing for more privacy and flexibility in your care.

• Unlimited sessions – Your treatment plan can be guided by your needs rather than insurance restrictions, meaning you can continue therapy for as long as it’s beneficial.

What should I expect at my first session?

During your intake session, we will review the informed consent form, discuss your background, counseling goals, and discuss more about what brought you in to counseling, and schedule our next appointment.

What areas do you specialize in?

I provide therapy and counseling for a wide range of mental health concerns, including trauma, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. I also have specialized expertise in gerontology and am deeply passionate about addressing the unique emotional, psychological, and social issues facing older adults today.

The full session fee will be charged unless the appointment is cancelled more than 24 hours in advance of the session. This allows me to schedule other clients who are waiting for open session times.
