Fees and Insurance
Clear financial boundaries create a safe space for deep therapeutic work.
I support adolescents (13 years old +) in Washington State through a combination of telehealth and in-person services. As a PsyPact certificate holder, I am also credentialed to provide seamless telehealth therapy to individuals residing across all participating PsyPact states.

Payment is due in full by credit or debit card at the time of your session. I offer a select number of reduced-fee slots within my practice based on current availability—please inquire directly about these openings.
Cancellation Policy
If an appointment is cancelled within 24 hours, or if you do not show up, you will be responsible for the full session fee.

Insurance & Out-Of-Network Benefits
I do not accept insurance for services. Navigating the private practice landscape without insurance restrictions allows us total clinical freedom—ensuring your treatment plan is dictated entirely by your personal pace and needs, rather than a corporate network's bottom line.
While I do not interact with insurance companies directly, your specific plan may provide comprehensive Out-of-Network (OON) benefits. This means you may be eligible to receive direct reimbursement from your insurance provider for a significant portion of your session fees. I am happy to provide you with standard monthly superbills to submit to your insurance carrier for processing.

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. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care 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.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Managed care insurance plans frequently restrict clinical outcomes by dictating the exact frequency, duration, and overall quantity of sessions allowed. Furthermore, standard networks drastically limit your selection of specialized clinicians and historically decline to compensate independent providers at a sustainable living wage. Stepping outside of insurance panels protects your confidential healthcare records and ensures your therapy is tailored exclusively to you.
