Frequently Asked Questions

  • The short answer: no. I am a self-pay practice and do not contract directly with insurance companies. This allows me to focus on providing individualized, thoughtful care without having to structure treatment around insurance requirements such as specific diagnoses, medical necessity language, or session limitations.

    Being a self-pay practice means that payment is made directly to the practice rather than billed to insurance. Many clients appreciate that this model allows for greater flexibility, privacy, and depth in the work, with care centered on their unique needs rather than insurance guidelines.

    That said, many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits. If you have out-of-network coverage, you may be able to receive partial reimbursement for services. I am happy to provide superbills upon request, which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. I’m also glad to help guide you in understanding how to check your out-of-network benefits.

    If you have questions about fees, superbills, or how this process works, you’re welcome to reach out for more information.

  • For Therapy: Therapy sessions are $200 for a standard 50-minute session. The initial session fee is $225, which is slightly higher as the first session requires additional time for paperwork, background review, and establishing a strong foundation for treatment.

    For Testing: Psychological testing services are provided as a flat rate amount of $2,775, which is divided into two fees:

    • $275 for the initial intake appointment. This assures that you are not locked into the assessment process, should you decide you do not want to proceed for any reason.

    • $2,500 covers the remaining aspects of the testing process (test administration, scoring, interpretation, teacher consultation, report writing, and feedback)

    This structure allows for clarity and transparency while supporting a comprehensive assessment process.

    You can pay with cash, credit, debit, or HSA/FSA cards to cover the cost of your services. Flexible payment plan options may be available based on financial need, and can be discussed during the initial consultation or intake process.

  • No. Many people come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally numb, or uncertain about what they’re experiencing. We can start with what you’re noticing and build clarity from there.

  • You may be a good fit if you’re looking for insight, not just coping strategies, and you’re open to a collaborative process that includes reflection and gentle challenge. Therapy here is warm and supportive, but it’s also active and growth-oriented.

  • I often work with adults navigating relational patterns, family-of-origin dynamics, relational issues, anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and disconnection from emotions.

  • Yes. My practice is hybrid, offering both in-person and virtual therapy sessions.

    In-person sessions are offered at my clinic location in Glendale, WI (listed in the footer below).

    For telehealth, I am authorized through PSYPACT, which allows me to provide virtual sessions to clients located in participating PSYPACT states at the time of the session. (You can view current PSYPACT states here). Telehealth availability depends on where you are physically located at the time of session.

    Whether we meet in person or virtually, the approach and quality of care remain the same. We can talk together about which format feels like the best fit for your needs and circumstances.

    *Please note for psychological testing services, while intake and feedback sessions can be done virtually, test administration itself is conducted in person only.

  • Health care providers are required to provide patients who do not have insurance or who are paying out-of-pocket an estimate of the bill for medical items and services based on the No Surprises Act. 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. You have a right to receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your appointment. The Good Faith Estimate will be discussed with you via phone at the time that you request services. The estimate will be sent to you at the time that you set up your initial appointment. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
