What kinds of concerns do you typically work with?
I work with adults who are navigating long-standing or complex concerns, including:
• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Perfectionism
• Relationship difficulties
• Trauma and grief
• Life transitions
• Living with long-term or chronic health conditions
If you’re unsure whether your situation fits, we can talk it through in a consultation.
Do you accept insurance?
No, I am an out-of-network provider. My psychotherapy services are reimbursable for out-of-network benefits from several insurance plans. To determine if you have out-of-network mental health coverage you need to check with your insurance carrier. I will provide you with an invoice at the end of each month so that you can submit it to your insurance provider.
To inquire about your mental health benefits, please call the member services phone number on the back of your insurance card and ask the following questions:
- Do I have mental health benefits?
- What is my deductible when I see an out-of-network mental health provider or an in-network provider?
- Once my deductible has been met, what percentage does my insurance pay?
- How much is my co-pay?
- How many visits are allowed per calendar year?
- Do I need pre-authorization in order to receive mental health services?
What is the No Surprises Act?
In compliance with the No Surprises Act effective January 1, 2022, all healthcare providers are required to notify clients of their federal rights and protections against “surprise billing”. The No Surprises Act requires that I inform you orally and in writing of your federally protected rights to receive a notification when services are rendered by an out-of-network provider, whether or not a client is uninsured or if a client elects not to use their insurance.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t 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.
- You can also 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 or call (800) 368-1019
Where will sessions be held?
All sessions are conducted using a HIPAA compliant video platform.
Are we a good fit?
Online therapy may not be appropriate for everyone. I do not accept clients that are suicidal, homicidal, are having psychotic symptoms or I otherwise do not think I can help through online psychotherapy.
To get a feel of me and to ask any lingering questions about my services, you may schedule a free, 15-min exploratory call here.
