Do you accept insurance?

If you would like to be seen using your insurance benefits, please let me know during our consultation appointment. It is your responsibility to verify your insurance benefits before attending an intake appointment.
If I am not in-network with your insurance company, you may use your out-of-network benefits for possible reimbursement. If you are interested in this option, please let me know.
What is the scope of your care?
I am unable to provide counseling services in between scheduled appointments. I am mindful of the limitations of my practice schedule and, due to this, I may be unable to work with clients who require more regular contact and availability or are experiencing more acute challenges.
It is my priority to be clear about my scope of practice and my limitations. If needed, we will discuss this in our consultation appointment. Should I feel I cannot provide the level of care you require, I will be intentional about offering appropriate referrals to other providers who may be better suited to meet your needs.
