Utilizing Your Benefits
In-Network Coverage I am an in-network provider with Cigna. If you choose to use your Cigna benefits, your actual out-of-pocket cost will depend on your specific plan’s copay, coinsurance, or deductible requirements. We will verify your benefits prior to your initial intake session.
Out-of-Network Reimbursement (Superbills) If you carry a different insurance provider and have out-of-network benefits, you may still be able to save significantly on your care. I provide detailed monthly documentation called a Superbill that you can easily submit through platforms like Thrizer or Mentaya to automate your out-of-network reimbursement process.
Frequently asked questions about payment responsibility
FAQs

Yes, but on a limited basis. I dedicate a specific number of slots in my practice to reduced-fee sessions for individuals facing financial hardship or transitions. Please note that my sliding scale rate does not drop below $135 per session. If my reduced-fee slots are currently full, I am happy to provide trusted referrals to clinicians or community resources who may have immediate availability.

You pay for your sessions directly at the time of service. If your insurance plan offers out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be able to submit a superbill to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
Because every insurance plan is different, I recommend contacting your insurer to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits, deductible, reimbursement rate, and any requirements for submitting claims.

Private-pay therapy offers greater flexibility and privacy in how we approach your care. It means we can focus on your goals and the issues that brought you to therapy without needing to fit your experience into an insurance diagnosis or treatment framework.
For many clients, this is particularly valuable when they're looking for therapy that goes beyond symptom management to explore patterns, relationships, career, identity, values, money, purpose, and the bigger questions underneath their anxiety or burnout.
Therapy is an investment in your mental health, relationships, work, and quality of life. My goal is to provide a thoughtful, individualized therapeutic experience that feels worthwhile, not simply to provide another appointment on your calendar.
If you're unsure whether private-pay therapy is the right fit for you, you're welcome to schedule a free consultation. We can talk about what you're looking for and whether working together makes sense.
Cancellation Policy
Your session time is explicitly reserved for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, a minimum of 24 hours' notice is required.
Appointments canceled, rescheduled, or missed with less than 24 hours' notice will incur a $135 late cancellation/no-show fee. This fee cannot be billed to insurance and will be automatically charged to your card on file.
Good Faith Estimate
Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services, including psychotherapy sessions. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
