Currently, I do not accept insurance. If your insurance carrier accepts out-of-network providers, by request,
I can generate a receipt/superbill after payment, that you can submit for reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance company prior to beginning therapy to determine the out-of-pocket costs.

​I have a limited number of reduced-fee appointments available.
If they are presently unavailable I can refer you to other low cost mental health services.​
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions about fees, payment or insurance,
or to discuss your individual circumstance.​
