DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE? 

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. Payment is due at the time of session.

I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement, depending on your plan. Clients are responsible for submitting superbills and communicating directly with their insurance provider.

If you’d like to determine whether out-of-network therapy is financially feasible for you, it can be helpful to ask your insurance plan:

• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
• Is there a deductible I need to meet before reimbursement applies?
• What percentage of the session fee is reimbursed after the deductible?
• Is there a limit to the number of reimbursable sessions per year?
• What is the process for submitting superbills?

HOW OFTEN DO SESSIONS TAKE PLACE

Most clients begin therapy by meeting once a week, as this tends to create the most consistent momentum and progress. From there, we collaborate to determine the frequency and length of therapy based on your goals, needs, and circumstances.

My role is to offer guidance and recommendations; the pace, consistency, and duration of therapy are ultimately your choice. Some clients work with me for a focused period around a specific concern, others continue in therapy longer-term for ongoing support or maintenance, and some return periodically for brief “tune-ups” as needed.

WHERE ARE SESSIONS HELD?

I offer in-person therapy at my Phoenix, Arizona office, as well as telehealth sessions throughout Arizona and California.

WHAT IS TELEHEALTH LIKE

Telehealth sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. Sessions require a private, quiet space and a stable internet connection. Connection details are provided once your session is scheduled.

DO YOU OFFER EVENING OR WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS? 

I currently offer sessions during weekday daytime hours only.

DO YOU WORK WITH COUPLES, FAMILIES OR CHILDREN? 

I work primarily with adults (18+) in individual therapy. I do not provide couples therapy or treat minors as individual clients.

That said, when clinically appropriate, I may include a partner or family member in sessions as part of an adult client’s treatment — particularly in work with anxiety or OCD. For example, partners are often involved briefly to learn how anxiety or OCD operates, how certain patterns (such as reassurance-seeking) can unintentionally maintain symptoms, and how to respond in ways that support progress.

In these cases, the focus remains on the individual client, with partner or family involvement used strategically to support treatment goals rather than as ongoing couples or family therapy.

WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?

My fee is $185 per 50-minute session (clinical hour).

Sliding scale options may be available on a limited basis, depending on availability.

WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE? 

I ask that cancellations or rescheduling requests be made at least 24 hours in advance.
