    Please note: 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.

  • I accept the following insurance/benefit plans: Medben, UnitedHealthCare (UMR), Optum Behavioral Health, and Custom Design Benefits.

    Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact me if you would like to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services. I’ll happily look into your benefits on your behalf.

    If you plan to investigate your coverage and benefits on your own, I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

    Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?

    Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?

    Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?

    Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?

  • At time of service.

    I accept cash, check, your Health Savings Account (HSA), and all major credit cards as forms of payment.

  • If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of therapy that can assist you in making the changes you want to see in your life. It allows you to learn to take a step back from your thoughts and feelings. Learning that you do not have to accept the negative circumstances in your life. Or like the feelings that come with them. It can also help you to gain the acceptance that you have little control over your thoughts and feelings.

    Without awareness of your thoughts and feelings, you might behave in a different way. Often in ways inconsistent with your goals and our values. It can be a way to cope with thoughts and feelings. ACT can help you to learn different skills. Skills that might help manage and cope with your thoughts and feelings. ACT can allow you to move in the direction of your goals and values at the same time. So that you can live a life that is rich and meaningful. Even though you might still be struggling with complex thoughts and feelings.

    By working with a therapist, you will learn to focus on what you can control. Such as your behaviors and your attention. By doing this, your thoughts and feelings become more “background noise” while our attention is on doing what matters to us.
