I’m often asked why I don’t work directly with insurance companies. For the type of specialized, nuanced work I offer, a private-pay model allows for much more autonomy, privacy, and choice.

Working outside of insurance means:

• No mental health diagnosis is required to start or continue therapy.

• Your personal information is not shared or added to your permanent medical record.

• The frequency and duration of therapy are determined collaboratively, not by insurance.

• More flexibility to address what matters, without the limit of “medical necessity.”

If your insurance plan includes out-of-network (OON) benefits and you'd like to utilize those, I can provide a monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. * Please note that a diagnosis is required for you to claim any available reimbursement.

My full fee is $220 per 50-minute session. I believe quality therapy should be a right, not a privilege. As such, part of how I’m able to provide reduced-fee options (see below) is through the support of clients who are able to comfortably pay my full fee. 

When those who can afford it choose to pay my full rate, it directly sustains the availability of lower-fee options for others. In this way, my practice remains both accessible and balanced. It's a quiet form of community care that supports people with a wide range of financial realities.

If you’re unsure which option is a fit for you, we can talk openly about fees during your consultation or at any point in our work together. I aim to find a fee agreement that is workable, respectful, and aligned with your needs.

Available Reduced Fee Options

Standard Reduced Fee: $125-$200

For people who need a moderately discounted rate, I am able to offer fees in this range to support your ability to access a great therapeutic fit.

Community Access Fee: $40–$70

For people with significant financial barriers, I offer these rates through Open Path Collective. Availability is limited, and membership with Open Path is required.
