Therapy is an investment—but not just in sessions.
It’s a commitment to your healing, your clarity, and your future self. If cost feels complicated, you’re not alone—and I’m open to a real conversation about what’s possible.
Rates & Sliding Scale
Sliding Scale Availability
Individual Counseling
50 minutes – $150
This is your space to slow down, untangle what feels heavy, and reconnect with your sense of self and direction.
Couples Counseling
75 minutes – $225
Support for couples navigating disconnection, new roles, or old patterns—especially in seasons of transition like early parenthood.
Collaborative Session
50 minutes – $175
A space for clients to invite a loved one—such as a partner, parent, or close support person—into a session to share insights, foster understanding, or strengthen communication around the therapeutic process.
This is not couples or family therapy, but a focused opportunity to bridge personal work with key relationships.
Let’s make therapy both meaningful and manageable.
Therapy is a significant investment—and it should feel like one you can make with confidence. I’m transparent about costs and open to real conversations about what’s possible.
I believe therapy should be accessible—not just for those with perfect timing or abundant resources.
I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients experiencing financial strain. These spots are offered in good faith, with the intention of reducing barriers to care.
If a sliding scale spot isn’t currently available, I’m happy to talk through other options or add you to a waitlist.
You’re always welcome to ask. We’ll talk it through together.
Support That Meets You Where You Are
Because care should feel both personal and possible.
I know therapy is an investment—and I also know how complicated it can feel to prioritize your mental health when life is already stretching you thin. You’re not expected to have it all figured out. We’ll talk it through together.
Financial Flexibility
Flexible Scheduling
Insurance Reimbursement Support
If you're navigating a season where finances feel tight, we can explore options together. I offer a limited number of reduced-rate spots for clients who wouldn’t otherwise be able to access care.
You're always welcome to ask. We’ll talk it through together.
We’ll shape a schedule that supports your goals and your life—biweekly, seasonal, or whatever your season allows.
If you have a PPO plan, you may be eligible for reimbursement. I’ll walk you through checking your benefits during our consultation. I also use Thrizer—a secure service that can handle claims for you.
Private pay ensures your therapy records remain confidential, without the need to share diagnoses or session details with insurance companies.
Therapist Choice
You're free to select a therapist who aligns best with your needs, without being limited to an insurance network.
Flexible Treatment
Together, we can tailor the frequency and focus of sessions to suit your unique journey, without constraints from insurance policies
Optional Diagnosis
Therapy can include a formal diagnosis if it's helpful for you—but it’s not required. Private pay means we can focus on your goals without needing a diagnosis for insurance, allowing for greater privacy and flexibility.

Can I Use My Insurance?
I’m not in-network with insurance, but many clients use their out-of-network benefits to get reimbursed for therapy sessions. I provide a superbill—a special receipt with everything your insurance company needs to process reimbursement.
To make this process easier, I use Thrizer, a service that can submit those superbills for you—automatically. That means no extra paperwork, no tracking forms, and no wondering if you’ve done it right.
If you’re not sure whether your plan covers therapy, we can look at your benefits together during your free consultation call. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
