No, I am an out-of-network provider and do not contract with insurance companies. This allows me to provide relationship-centered, affirming, and non-pathologizing care without the limitations associated with insurance, such as requiring a mental health diagnosis, restricting aspects of treatment, or limiting session lengths.

At the same time, I believe therapy should be as accessible as possible and value working with people from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. To help increase access, I reserve a limited number of reduced-fee appointments. If the cost of therapy is a barrier, I encourage you to reach out to discuss the options.

This decision is rooted in both the realities of the current healthcare system and my commitment to providing relationship-focused care.

At this time, insurance companies do not reimburse for relational, couples, or family diagnoses. In order for insurance to cover services, one member of the relationship is required to receive a mental health diagnosis and be identified as the primary patient. Insurance companies may also require access to treatment plans, session documentation, and other clinical information in order to determine medical necessity and authorize care.

Because my work is centered on the relationship itself rather than identifying one partner as the "patient," I have chosen to remain out-of-network. This allows me to provide care that aligns with the goals of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy while maintaining greater privacy, flexibility, and focus on the relationship.

Remaining out-of-network also allows me to offer the 75-minute sessions that are recommended for EFCT and foundational to my practice. These longer sessions create the time and space needed for deeper emotional processing, meaningful connection, and nervous system-aware relationship work.

Yes, I value making therapy more accessible and offer a limited number of reduced rate and Pay-What-You-Can appointments to help increase access to therapy for those who need it.

While I'm not able to offer reduced fees to all clients, if the cost of therapy is a barrier, I encourage you to reach out. I'm happy to discuss your needs, current availability, and whether we can find a fee that feels sustainable.

Many insurance plans include out-of-network benefits, which allow you to receive partial reimbursement for therapy services from a provider who is not contracted with your insurance company. If your plan includes these benefits, you pay for sessions upfront and then submit a Superbill (an itemized receipt that I provide) to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Choosing an out-of-network provider allows you to work with a therapist who is the best fit for your needs rather than being limited to providers within your insurance network. Working outside of insurance also allows for a greater level of specialized care. Insurance companies often place limits on session length, frequency, treatment goals, or the overall number of sessions covered. As an out-of-network provider, I am able to tailor treatment to your unique needs, offer extended sessions when needed, and focus on meaningful, relationship-centered work rather than insurance-driven requirements.

I recommend contacting your insurance company by calling the number on the back of your insurance card to ask whether your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits and what reimbursement you may be eligible to receive.

Yes. While I do not participate directly with insurance panels, I can provide Superbills—a detailed receipt containing the information required by many insurance companies—upon request. These itemized receipts may be submitted to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your individual plan and out-of-network benefits.
