Therapy isn't a financial transaction.
You might be wondering why I use the term "investment" instead of simply saying "cost" or "fees."
When you commit to therapy, it's more than just a financial transaction. Therapy isn't a commodity that can be bought or traded. It's truly an investment of your most precious resources – time, energy, effort, and money.
What do you get in return?
In return, I commit to be fully invested in your well-being. I'll create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. I'll prioritize our work together and reserve time in my schedule set aside exclusively for you. Because I thoughtfully maintain a smaller than typical caseload, we'll cultivate a deeply personal and authentic relationship. And by limiting the number of clients I work with at a time, I'm able to provide you with a highly personalized therapy experience.
The commitment you make to therapy is ultimately a commitment to yourself – to your growth, healing, and the life you truly want to live. And that’s an investment that continues to pay off long after our work together has ended.

A NOTE ABOUT INSURANCE
I don't work with insurance companies.
And it's important to me that you understand why.
Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis in order to cover your therapy sessions, and that's just not in alignment with my approach to therapy. Not everyone in therapy needs a mental health diagnosis. Sometimes life gets hard and you just need a safe space to talk through some tough stuff.
I believe you should have access to high-quality, personalized therapy without evidence of a mental illness that needs to be treated or cured. A mental health diagnosis remains on your permanent health record and could potentially impact future employment, high security background checks, and life and health insurance eligibility. There's also the increased risk that your confidentiality could be jeopardized. During the electronic claim submission process, your protected health information – including a diagnosis – may be subject to data breaches or other threats to electronic security.
And finally, I work with you, not for your insurance company. Insurance companies can sometimes dictate our work together, including how often we can meet, how long we can work together, and what type of therapy you can have. Your well-being is my top priority, and I'm simply not willing to allow a third party to compromise the quality of your therapy and our work together.
What about out-of-network benefits?
I'm not an out-of-network provider. My practice is private pay only.
Insurance companies require something called a "superbill" to process out-of-network claims. I don't issue superbills for all the same reasons that I don't work with insurance companies. A superbill requires a mental health diagnosis. When you submit a superbill to your insurance company, you're essentially inviting a third party into our therapeutic relationship. Even using out-of-network benefits, your insurance company can dictate our work together, including how often we can meet, how long we can work together, and what type of therapy you can have. They can even request your therapy records and come after the money they've already reimbursed you if they deem your therapy isn't "medically necessary."
For all these reasons, I don't issue superbills and I don't interface with insurance companies in any capacity, either in-network or out-of-network. The cornerstone of my practice is providing highly personalized care, tailored specifically for you.
