Insurance and Out-of-Network Benefits
I am not in-network with insurance companies. The structure of my practice is intentionally designed to support a different kind of therapeutic experience—one that prioritizes depth, privacy, and the ability to move at the pace your healing actually requires, rather than the limitations often placed on care by insurance systems.
I understand that private-pay therapy is a meaningful investment. Many clients choose to use out-of-network (OON) benefits to offset the cost of services when available. If your plan includes OON coverage, I can provide the documentation needed for you to submit claims for potential reimbursement.
To support this process, tools such as Thrizer can help verify your benefits and streamline claim submission, making reimbursement more accessible and less administratively burdensome.

Good Faith Estimate
If you are not using insurance for services, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate outlining the expected cost of care.
This estimate is available for self-pay clients and can be requested at any time prior to the start of services or scheduling ongoing care.
