Services & Payment

All sessions are done virtually through a HIPAA-compliant video platform.

My fee is $175 per individual therapy session.
I reserve a percentage of my practice for sliding scale fees to make sessions more accessible to Black, Indigenous, POC, and LGBTQIAP2S+ folks.

My payment policy is fee-for-service only.
I am an out-of-network provider, which means that I am not in contract to accept insurance.
For patients who would like to use their out-of-network benefits through their insurance,
a detailed receipt can be provided for reimbursement.

I offer a free, brief phone consultation to consider together if we might be a good fit to begin therapy.
