    I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. However, I can provide superbills to clients who meet diagnostic criteria and wish to seek reimbursement from their health insurance. You are encouraged to call your insurance provider to verify benefits prior to scheduling your intake appointment. You are responsible for independently coordinating suberbill submissions to your insurance. If you have questions about this, we can talk about it in a free 20-minute consultation.‍ ‍

  • My work is rooted in both rigorous academic study and over 15 years of direct client experience. Out of that 15 years, the past 8 years have been spent working specifically with chronic pain patients and the anxiety, depression, and life transitions that come with it. I understand what you are going through, and how to help you feel better!

This is also a chance for you to have a feel for my energy and style to further assess if we’re a good fit to work together. Finding just the right therapist is imperative to your results and I want you to feel confident you’ve found that in me.
