I am a private pay provider and do not accept insurance directly. However, I am considered an out-of-network provider, and I’m happy to provide monthly superbills you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

Many clients choose to use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to pay for therapy, which can make services more accessible.

Choosing to work outside of insurance allows us to focus fully on your healing—not on diagnoses, treatment limits, or what’s deemed “medically necessary” by insurance companies. This creates space for more personalized, depth-oriented work that honors your full story and pace.

If you’re unsure about your out-of-network benefits, I encourage you to call your insurance provider and ask:

• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

• What percentage is reimbursed for CPT code 90837 (individual therapy)?

• Is there a deductible, and has it been met?

At this time, insurance does not cover EMDR intensives in an outpatient setting; the cost of an intensive is out-of-pocket. I offer superbills for out-of-network reimbursement and intensives may be eligible for FSA or HSA funds. Intensives can be a significant up-front investment; however, they often save you money in the long-run by eliminating the need for months or years of weekly sessions—and they can save you emotional suffering by making healing and relief from symptoms available much sooner.

The free consultation call will be 15-30 minutes. We’ll go over what brings you into therapy, what you’re looking for in therapy/your therapist, and any other specific questions you might have. We’ll discuss the right fit in terms of time availability, the types of therapy I provide, and payments.

At our first intake appointment, we’ll briefly go over the important information on the intake paperwork that you have signed prior to our intake session. We’ll have a conversation about what brings you into therapy and what goals you’d like to achieve. I might also ask you a couple of clarifying questions in relation to your intake questionnaire. My style is conversational, so the intake session will be mostly about me getting to know you a little more and creating space for you to ask any questions you might have.
