Do you take insurance?

I don't accept insurance, but I am available to provide a superbill (detailed) receipt to help clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits, you can submit the superbill to your insurance company for a % reimbursement of the monies paid to me for the session based on your out-of-network mental health insurance benefits. To find out if you have out-of-network insurance benefits, call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card or log on to your insurance plan’s website.

Where do you meet with clients?

Most sessions are held online using a secure, confidential, HIPAA compliant video software called Simple Practice.  I do have a home office and it’s possible for some sessions to be held in my home depending on the client’s needs and presenting issues. Please note: I do have a small dog in my home so if you are allergic to dogs, in person sessions would not be a good choice. My dog is available for sessions and likes to sit with clients to provide comfort (and to receive her own attention!) She is available upon request.

You can access the video software from your phone, your iPad/tablet, or your Mac/PC from anywhere you have a strong Wi-Fi connection or signal and privacy.  Online appointments are convenient because they do not require a commute or a waiting room ensuring your privacy. No chance of running into anyone one you know! Online appointments do require you to use video, share your location (for safety reasons) and remain stationary for the duration of the appointment, i.e., no driving.  

What is a Good Faith Estimate?

Beginning January 1, 2022, if you’re uninsured or don’t plan to submit your claim to your health plan, health care providers and facilities must provide you with a “good faith estimate” of expected charges before you get an item or service. The good faith estimate isn’t a bill.

Providers and facilities must give you a good faith estimate if you ask for one, or when you schedule an item or service. It should include expected charges for the primary item or service you’re getting, and any other items or services provided as part of the same scheduled experience.

​Disputing charges higher than the estimate:

 If you get the bill and the charges from a single provider are at least $400 more than the good faith estimate, you may be eligible to start a patient-provider dispute. For more information, go here: patient-provider dispute resolution process.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3095.

Note: if you are using out of network insurance benefits, you are not entitled to a Good Faith Estimate. It is only for patients/clients who are uninsured and/or self-pay, i.e., not using insurance to pay for services in any form.
