Rates for Individual Psychotherapy
My standard rate for therapy is $180 per session, which reflects the depth of my training, years of experience, and the care I bring into each session. This rate supports the time I devote outside of the therapy hour to any care coordination and resource linkage, continuing education, ongoing reflection and thoughtful case attention so I can provide the responsive, effective and attuned treatment you deserve.
I understand my fee is not sustainable for everyone seeking care and I am happy to discuss options, including reduced rates to make things work for you. If this interests you, in our first phone call you can ask something like, "Do you have any reduced fee spots available?" to start that conversation.
Fees are due at the time of service. I accept Debit, Credit, HSA and FSA cards as permitted by your insurer. I use a HIPAA-secure payment option called Ivy Pay for processing payments and I ask that cancellations be made 24-hours in advance.

Insurance Details
I currently accept PacificSource, Providence, and Aetna commercial plans. If you have PacificSource, Providence, or Aetna please let me know when we have our initial call so I can verify your benefits and create a plan for billing your insurance for our visits.
If you have other commercial insurance, I encourage you to contact your insurance provider (the number is on the back of your insurance card) to learn their policies about “Out-Of-Network providers.” In many cases they will reimburse you for a portion of services. I am happy to give you a monthly billing statement (a "superbill") for your reimbursement.
I encourage anyone interested in exploring their "out-of-network" benefits to contact their insurance company and ask the following questions:
- Does my plan cover mental health insurance benefits?
- Do I have “out-of-network” benefits if my therapist isn’t in-network?
- If so, confirm they will cover CPT codes 90791, 90837, and 90834
- What is my “out-of-network” deductible and has it been met?
- What are my “out-of-network” co-pays or co-insurance?
- Is there a limit to how many visits I can have in a year?
- Is pre-authorization necessary and who can make the authorization?
Under the 2022 Public Health Service Act, Section 2799B-6, I do provide a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) for your review prior to our first visit. The GFE is a 12-month estimate of total treatment costs, which we will discuss during scheduling and in our first visit. I am happy to be transparent about estimated costs and welcome your questions.
