Pricing

My therapeutic services are all provided online.

Whether you're searching for grief counseling, trauma therapy, LGBTQ+ affirming care, Ericksonian hypnosis, or therapy for your teen or relationship, I provide all of this online through HIPAA-secure video therapy.

That way, you enjoy the benefits of treatment without commuting, childcare hassles, and the cost of gas. You can do video therapy on lunch breaks, or after work in your car (parked somewhere safe with the engine off). Feeling sleepy or sick? You might want to get therapy while lounging in bed in your PJs with your pet snuggled up next to you. Online therapy is usually just as effective as in-person therapy for most conditions.

If you think therapy is expensive, consider the cost of not addressing the problem that brought you here. What has your struggle cost you so far? How has it impacted your relationships or self-esteem? How many sleepless nights have you spent worried or tormented? How has your mental health fared without it so far?

Therapy is an investment in yourself, plain and simple. If you're depressed, anxious, tormented by the past, burdened by your loss... spending time and energy on your mental health is just a necessary part of self-care. You're worth it, whatever you may have been told in the past.

Price of Services

For individual and couple psychotherapy, I charge $170 per 50-minute session. I raise my fees by $5 annually at the beginning of the year and offer a sliding scale for those who cannot afford this price.

Take control of your mental health with direct payment options

Doing deep healing work, especially with tender issues like trauma, grief, or identity-related stress, means you don't want to have to worry about privacy, or being limited by the restraints of bureaucratic insurance companies. You deserve therapy that isn't rushed, restricted, or subject to third-party review. You also don't want to be labeled with a diagnosis just to have your insurance cover what you clearly need to heal. Private pay therapy gives you the space, privacy, and flexibility to heal at your own pace, without others dictating how your healing should look or what you cover in your sessions.

You're more than a diagnosis code.

Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis to cover psychotherapy. However, your pain and history are far more complex than a label. Private pay therapy allows us to focus on your whole story and allows you to heal in your own time, without worrying whether you're getting better too fast or in the wrong way to be covered. You don't want to be reduced to a set of symptoms that fit neatly into a billing category.

Your privacy matters, and you deserve to be in charge of it.

With private therapy, no diagnosis is required and no third party sees your records. That means no one dictates your treatment, and your healing stays between your therapist and you. Don't you deserve to feel empowered and have privacy that? Wouldn't you rather your personal information, diagnosis, or treatment details stay off the record? That information can be accessed by multiple parties when you use insurance, and may affect future insurance, employment, or legal matters.

Insurance companies also often limit how long your therapy can last, how often you can attend, what issues you're allowed to work on to be covered, and what methods of healing are covered. However, trauma, grief, and identity-related wounds don't always follow a schedule. Paying out of pocket, rather than using insurance, allows you to have longer sessions when needed or more frequent sessions.

You can also pause or resume without reauthorization. And you can work on any issue that matters to you. Healing is not linear. Private pay therapy respects that.

Access to specialized modalities that work

Some very effective treatment modalities that help trauma survivors heal are not covered or fully recognized by insurance companies. Private therapy allows you to receive the most effective treatment for your needs, not just what the insurance company approves. This means you get EMDR therapy for trauma processing, Flash Technique for gentle trauma relief, somatic and mindfulness-based work, hypnotherapy for deep subconscious healing, and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. You get the care that works, not the just care that's reimbursable.

I charge the same amount for clinical consultation sessions for other therapists, of the same amount of time ($170/50 mins). Please inquire about intensives (90 minutes or more of concentrated therapy) if you're interested. The price for those is $340.

I do not work in person anymore. To preserve everyone's safety and convenience, I work online using video therapy.

Cancellation Policy

I understand that sometimes, we need to cancel. However, I set aside the time we schedule to meet for you exclusively. If I do not receive a phone call at least 48 hours before cancellation, I charge $80 for the missed session. If you're sick, I understand that you might not know that you will be sick within 48 hours. However, if you miss the session without notifying me (barring disasters or emergencies), you will be charged for the missed visit. I do this to maintain the fairness and mutual respect of our relationship.

Thank you for understanding. When you set up an appointment, I will send you more detailed information about my office policies, including how I charge for my services.

Please see the No Surprises Act Notification, which I am legally required to share with you.
