A Note About Insurance
I recognize that mental health care is often difficult to access and afford. Throughout my career, I have been committed to improving access to care and reducing barriers for children, families, and communities.
For that reason, deciding not to participate directly with insurance panels was not a decision I made lightly.
My full-time work is dedicated to serving children and families within publicly funded healthcare systems, where I provide clinical care, train future healthcare professionals, and work to improve access to behavioral health services. I maintain a very small private practice outside of that work, allowing me to pursue specialized clinical interests while continuing my long-term commitment to serving patients in community and healthcare settings.
In order to keep this practice sustainable and administratively manageable, I have chosen not to contract directly with insurance companies. Remaining out-of-network allows me to devote my limited clinical hours to client care, consultation, and professional work rather than insurance administration and reimbursement processes.
I recognize that this approach is not accessible to everyone, and I understand that it may not be the right fit for every individual or family. If I am not the right fit financially, I am happy to discuss referrals or resources that may better meet your needs.

Parent Consultation & Parent Training
While I do not participate directly with insurance plans, many insurance companies offer out-of-network benefits for mental health services.
Upon request, I will provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement rates vary widely depending on your plan, and I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to learn more about your specific benefits.
Questions you may wish to ask your insurance company include:
Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
What percentage of services are reimbursed?
Is there a deductible that must be met before reimbursement begins?
Are there limits on the number of sessions covered?
What information is required for reimbursement?
Please note that reimbursement is determined entirely by your insurance company and cannot be guaranteed.

Payment is due at the time of service.
Accepted payment methods and cancellation policies will be reviewed prior to our first appointment.
If you have questions about fees, reimbursement, or whether my practice is the right fit for your needs, I encourage you to reach out.
