The (not so fun) Financial Stuff
My practice is private pay. I don't bill insurance. However, you can use your HSA or FSA card for payment. Also, You may be able to use your plan's
Out Of Network benefits to be reimbursed for your payments.
I can provide you with a superbill so you can work with your insurance company on potential reimbursement.
Did you know that was a thing? Many don't.
There's more about that at the bottom of the page.

Let’s talk about the private pay part.
Private pay lets us do real work without turning your story into a number.
I don't take insurance is because Insurance often needs pain to be framed as a pathology, and that doesn’t align with my values or my integrity. Period. Insurances require a psychiatric diagnosis — even when what you’re feeling is a completely normal response to illness, major loss, or the weight of caregiving. I’m not here to label you to satisfy insurance companies for something you’re courageously surviving unless a diagnosis is clinically appropriate.
To be clear, it doesn't mean you might not have a diagnosable disorder, it simply means this therapy isn't dictated by insurance companies.
If your life involved cancer or grief to any degree, you probably have had enough insurance company b.s. for a lifetime.
As a private-pay provider, I'm still bound by every requirement of my licensure board — ethics, confidentiality, safety, all of it. None of that changes. What does change is the room we have. We get to stay focused on the work between you and me — not you, me, and an insurance company shaping your story.
And let's face it, I know therapy is an investment — but you really are worth investing in.
Ask yourself if you would invest in something for someone you love. You already pour so much into others; you deserve that same chance for your own care, healing, and change. You probably just aren't use to prioritizing yourself. (We'll work on that in session!!)
Before ruling anything out, let’s talk. A free consultation gives us space to understand what you need, ask questions, and see whether this work feels like the right fit for you. And if not, I will absolutely give you some names of other therapists and resources that might help!
Accessing your Out of Network (OON) benefits. Your insurance may pay out-of-network Benefits (and reimburse some of your therapy cost) I recommend you verify details with your insurance company prior to starting therapy. If your insurance company does offer out-of-network benefits, my system can send you a statement for insurance (called a “superbill” even though it’s not a bill) for the sessions. You will want to ensure the superbill you receive meets their requirements (in terms of service codes and diagnostic codes). Then you can submit the superbill to the insurance company for them to reimburse you directly. Here are the questions you’ll need to ask when you call. Be sure to document what date and time you called, who you spoke with, and their answers. You can also ask for a reference number for the call. 1.Do they offer out-of-network benefits? If the answer is “no,” then ask if the cost of therapy can count towards your deductible If they do cover out-of-network benefits, here’s the second set of questions 2.Is there a deductible? If yes, how much is it? Is the deductible per person or per family? 3.Do they cover a flat rate or a percentage of the cost? Most insurances only cover certain diagnoses and certain service codes, so if you use out of network benefits, I will need to provide a diagnosis on the superbill. Here’s the third set of questions for them related to that 4.For individual therapy: Do they cover service (CPT) codes 90837 or 90834? If they don’t, ask and write down what codes they do cover 5.For couples therapy: Do they cover service (CPT) code 90847? If they do not, ask and write down what codes they do cover 6.ICD codes are the problems or diagnoses. Are there specific diagnoses that are covered?
