Fees & insurance
Investing in your care
Clear information about cost, so you can make the decision that’s right for you.
Session fees
Private pay rates
My fees reflect almost 25 years of experience, specialized training, and a deliberately limited caseload that lets me give each client real attention.

Insurance
Using your insurance
I’m in network with a number of insurance plans through Alma and Headway. The simplest way to find out whether I’m in network with your plan is to look me up on either platform, which can also show your expected cost. Copays, deductibles, and coverage vary by plan, so I recommend checking your benefits before our first session.
A diagnosis is required
Insurance only covers care that meets the definition of medical necessity, which means assigning a mental health diagnosis.
Your insurer has access
Insurers may request treatment plans or session records as a condition of payment.
Your plan sets limits
Some plans limit how often you can be seen, for how long, or which kinds of treatment they will cover.
Private pay
Why some clients choose not to use insurance
More privacy, since no diagnosis or records go to an insurer
Session length and frequency are decided by us, not your plan
Therapy can focus on your goals, with or without a diagnosis
No interruptions in care because of insurance limits
Out-of-network benefits
I don’t provide superbills. If I’m not in network with your plan, sessions are private pay.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the federal No Surprises Act, if you are not using insurance you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of your expected costs. You can ask me for one at any time.
