• During our 15-minute phone consultation I’ll ask you a little bit about what is bringing you to therapy. You are welcome to give as much or as little information as you would like. Based on what’s bringing you here, I’ll share a brief overview of my personalized approach to address your therapy goals. You will also have time to ask any questions you want. Some people ask me about my background, approach, fees, and length of treatment.

  • I am in-network with the commercial plans for the following insurance payers: Select Health, St. Luke’s Health Plan, PacificSource, and Mountain CO-OP. I recommend verifying your coverage to make sure I am in-network for your particular plan.

    Within the next few weeks or months, I’ll be in-network with Blue Cross of Idaho as well. Some clients opt to start with private pay to get started and then switch to insurance once my credentialing process is complete.

  • My fees are comparable with other providers of similar experience, expertise and education. My fees reflect my years of education, training, and professional experience as a psychologist.

    I work with Mentaya to help you understand your out-of-network benefits and if eligible, get reimbursed for therapy.

  • I save a select number of spots for clients who qualify for reduced rates. Please inquire during your phone consultation if you are interested in this option. I am a member of Open Path Psychotherapy Collective. Click on their logo to see if you qualify for affordable mental health care.

  • Sessions typically last from 45-60 minutes depending on type of treatment. If you would like to meet for a shorter or longer amount of time, please let me know. I may be able to accommodate your request.

  • Ideally, we would meet at least once per week in the beginning. This helps to build a strong therapeutic relationship build progress towards your therapy goals. As your treatment progresses, we will discuss decreasing the frequency of sessions. Your success is largely dependent on your level of commitment and attendance of sessions.

  • I have a whole page dedicated to resources that I try to update regularly. Click here to be directed.

  • Missed appointments will be charged your full session fee unless cancelled at least 48 hours in advance. If you are more than 15 minutes late to a session, it will be considered a no show and you will be charged the full session fee. Insurance does not cover no show to late cancellations, which means the fee will be your responsibility.

  • I accept cash and all major credit card as forms of payment, including HSA and FSA cards. Payment is due in full at the time of the session.

    I accept Lyra Health. Contact your employer’s benefits department to see if you qualify for Lyra through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). You can also search to see if your employer participates in the Lyra network.

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

    • Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

    • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

    • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

    • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

  • I have several clients that opt to pay out of pocket. Paying out of pocket offers several benefits:

    • Protects your privacy and confidentiality

    • Allows for more personalized care and freedom in treatment

    • No limitations on number of sessions or types of treatment.

    If you prefer to ay out of pocket, I can provide you with a "superbill" that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement of your costs.
