FAQS
What is your rate for sessions?
My base rate is $150 for individuals and $175 for relational and families.
My full rate is reserved for those with financial privilege. For those unable to pay my full fee, I offer ‘pay what you can’ sliding scale rates.
How does sliding scale work?
I offer sliding scale rates because providing accessible quality mental health services is a priority of mine. I believe that under capitalism our financial situations are much more complex than a pay check . Because of this I do not have one reduced rate, but instead encourage potential clients to reflect on their current available resources and pay an agreed upon rate based on your financial access.
Let’s face it: talking about money is uncomfortable. In order for pay what you can sliding scale to work it requires mutual trust and accountability. That means I do not verify clients requested rate with a pay stub or bank statement. Facing discomfort can be a tool for healing, liberation, and justice. Engaging in trust based conversations about money and prioritizing mutual accountability not only are vital to a restorative therapeutic relationship, but also directly challenges systems of oppression that impact us all .
Please note: I offer a limited number of sliding scale slots. This is determined by my own financial access, needs, and ability. Those who pay my full rate are supporting my ability to offer high quality therapy services that are not cost prohibitive to those with less financial privilege.
Need a sliding scale rate? Let’s discuss to determine a rate that works for both of us in a free 15/20 minutes consultation.
Please reference the chart “The Green Bottle” as a guide to determine your financial access. Learn more here.
Do you take insurance?
I am not accepting new insurance clients at this time.
I also accept HSA cards.
How long are your sessions?
My standard session length is 53 minutes. I offer extended sessions and intensives upon request at a pro-rated rate.
How do I schedule?
First, let’s meet for a free 15-20 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit. After our consult call, you can reach out via email or text to schedule a first session. From there, some of my clients like to meet at a set, recurring day and time while other clients prefer scheduling at the end of each session. Let’s discuss your preference and go from there!
Please note I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. I try and be as flexible as possible because things happen. To account for this, I offer everyone one freebie where I waive the late cancellation fee. After that, please let me know if you are unable to make it at least 24 hours in advance of a scheduled session to avoid a late cancellation fee.

Effective January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act, which Congress passed as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, is designed to protect patients from surprise bills for emergency services at out-of-network facilities or for out-of-network providers at in-network facilities, holding them liable only for in-network cost-sharing amounts. The No Surprises Act also enables uninsured patients to receive a good faith estimate of the cost of care.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, healthcare 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. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment and hospital fees.
Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
