Transparent pricing and straight forward insurance information — so you can focus on getting started.
I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO. Please keep in mind that BCBS PPO does not cover couples therapy payments.
If you’re covered by any other insurance plan, you will need to find out if they have Out Of Network (OON) benefits. If they do, you can pay me for the sessions and I’ll provide you with a Superbill to submit to your insurance company to request partial reimbursement.
If you have any questions regarding what your health insurance covers, please contact your insurance provider.
Please keep in mind that insurance requires me to give you a diagnosis and share that diagnosis with them. They can also choose to not provide payment for sessions even after they have reimbursed you. I have not had this problem with BCBS PPO.
Insurance does not provide payment for phone therapy, but usually does for telehealth. Once you give me your insurance information I will check to see what your plan covers.
Payment for my indivdual counseling services is $180 for a 50 minute session.
Payment for my couples therapy is $230 for a 50 minute session.
*for sessions not covered by BCBS PPO
(contact your BCBS provider for more information)


Your card on file is automatically charged the morning of your appointment. I accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and Health Savings Accounts (HSA/FSA).
I require at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged the full session fee, as that time was held specifically for you. If you are using insurance and arrive more than 10 minutes late, the session fee applies and insurance will not be billed.
