FAQs

  • To explore starting therapy with me, contact me to schedule a consultation. This consultation is free and serves as an opportunity to ask any questions you may have + see whether I am the right fit for you.

    If you decide that my services are a good fit, we will schedule an intake session, during which I will invite you to share about your symptoms and challenges, goals for therapy, and history. During the intake we will also discuss scheduling follow-up sessions and initial recommendations for treatment.

  • My out-of-pocket rate is $150 per session.

    I am in-network with Premera.

    I am not individually paneled with any other insurance companies. I can give you a superbill for my services, which may help you get reimbursed by your insurance. Please check with your insurance provider to see if you're eligible for out-of-network benefits.

    I know that cost can be a big barrier for many people looking for therapy. Because of this, I provide sliding scale fees for clients in financial need. Please contact me if you are interested in a sliding scale slot— I want you to have access to the help you need!

  • If you want to use out of network benefits, it is important to discuss your eligibility with your insurance provider. I highly recommend calling them to learn about your coverage. Some helpful questions to ask include:

    • Is there a deductible that needs to be met first?

    • Do I need a referral from my primary care provider?

    • How many sessions are covered per calendar year?

    • What is my co-pay per session?

    • Are there any restrictions in place?
