Getting started with therapy

Reaching out to a therapist can feel like a big step. I want the process of getting started to feel as simple and straightforward as possible. We’ll begin with a brief consultation so you can share a little about what brings you to therapy, ask any questions you may have, and get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.

Request a Consultation

Fees & Insurance

Insurance coverage can vary by individual plan, so I encourage you to verify your behavioral health benefits directly with your insurance provider before beginning therapy.


Insurance

I am currently in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna/Evernorth, Optum, UnitedHealthcare, and UMR, as well as some affiliated PPO plans.


Private Pay

The private-pay rate is $120 per session. A limited number of sliding-scale appointments may also be available based on need and availability.


Out-of-network benefits

Superbills are available upon request for potential reimbursement from your insurance provider.


Telehealth

All therapy sessions are provided virtually through secure telehealth, allowing you to attend sessions from the privacy and convenience of your own space. 


Available to clients located in Louisiana, Minnesota, and Ohio.

What happens next?

Reaching out doesn’t commit you to beginning therapy. The first step is simply a brief consultation so we can connect and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.


During the consultation, we can talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and any questions you have about the process. I’ll also answer questions about scheduling, insurance, and what you can expect if we decide to move forward.


If we both feel that working together is a good fit, we’ll discuss next steps and schedule your first therapy session.
