Usually, therapy involves meeting weekly. Weekly sessions give you a steady rhythm of staying close to the thoughts, emotions, and experiences you’re working through, and enough time out-of-session to integrate changes that are unfolding for you.

For all other insurances, you may have out-of-network benefits, which means that insurance will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network reimbursement process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions post-deductible, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save an average of 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be.
Please reach out with any questions, I'm happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.
