Vibe check / consultation call
An optional warm-up call before your first session so we can both decide whether I’m a good fit for your needs.
Duration15–30 minutes
All the money stuff
Session costs, self-pay rates, and payment options—clear, direct, and free of surprises.
Do you take any insurance plans?
For most people, we recommend using insurance for talk therapy. It can ease the financial burden and make room for more of the work you want to do.
(However all coaching and mentorship services are private pay.)

- Cigna and Aetna
- On the waitlist
- United Health and Optum
We also accept HSA and FSA payments.
Do I have to use insurance?
That’s a reasonable question. Insurance companies often hold the upper hand in their relationships with therapists and other healthcare providers, and that power dynamic can shape the care people receive.
I accept insurance so that I can reach more clients, but you can choose to opt-out of insurance-based services.
A few reasons you might elect to opt-out:
- Freedom of modality. We can use techniques beyond cognitive behavioral therapy and choose a modality that fits your needs.
- Less pathologizing. I do not have to give you a label simply to justify our work. We can focus on doing more of what feels aligned and less of what does not.
- Greater privacy. I keep appropriate records for your care without routinely submitting session details to an insurance company.
