My practice is private pay, meaning I do not bill insurance companies directly. This allows us greater flexibility in the focus and pace of therapy and avoids submitting claims to an insurer. Depending on your plan, you may have out-of-network benefits that reimburse a portion of your costs. You can contact your insurance company to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits before beginning therapy.

Individual and couples therapy sessions are $200 for 55 minutes. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, discuss what you're looking for, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.

Depending on your plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement for out-of-network therapy. Coverage varies by policy, and reimbursement isn't guaranteed. Contact your insurance company to ask about your benefits, deductible, reimbursement rate, and documentation requirements.

In many cases, yes. Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds can generally be used for eligible mental health services, including therapy with a licensed provider. Eligibility depends on your plan and applicable IRS requirements. You can check with your HSA or FSA administrator to confirm your coverage and documentation requirements before your appointment.

When you pay privately and don't submit claims for reimbursement, your sessions aren't reported to an insurer through the usual insurance billing process. However, confidentiality has legal and ethical limits, and other circumstances may require disclosure. Private pay reduces insurance-related information sharing but does not guarantee complete confidentiality.

I know life doesn't always fit neatly into a weekly schedule. We can discuss a session frequency and appointment times that work for your needs, whether that means meeting weekly, every other week, multiple times a week, or as needed. Appointment availability varies, but my goal is to find a rhythm that supports your goals and fits your life.

Yes. I offer virtual therapy to clients located in Michigan. You can attend sessions from a private, comfortable space without needing to travel to an office.

I provide virtual therapy to clients who are physically located in Michigan at the time of their sessions. If you travel or spend part of the year in another state, we may need to pause sessions while you're away, depending on the state's licensing requirements and my authorization to practice there. If you anticipate spending time outside Michigan, we can discuss your circumstances and explore what options may be available.

Scheduling depends on your needs, goals, and availability. Sessions may take place multiple times a week, weekly, biweekly, or as needed. We'll discuss what makes sense for you and adjust as your needs change.

The 15-minute consultation is an opportunity to ask questions, share a little about what brings you to therapy, and get a feel for how I work. You can use this time to decide whether my approach aligns with what you're looking for. There's no obligation to schedule a session afterward.

You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You might know that something feels off, that familiar patterns keep resurfacing, or that you want to understand yourself better. We can begin there and work together to clarify what feels important to explore.

 During your consultation, we can discuss what you're looking for and whether the service you're considering is a good fit for your needs.

Insurance reimbursement often requires a diagnosis that meets the insurer's criteria. Because my practice is private pay and doesn't bill insurance, treatment isn't being structured around insurance reimbursement requirements. I still maintain appropriate clinical documentation and assess your needs as part of ethical professional care.

I focus on providing therapy rather than conducting formal psychological or diagnostic assessments. However, I have connections with organizations and professionals who specialize in assessment services and can provide referrals when an evaluation is appropriate. If you're looking for an assessment, we can discuss what you need and explore referral options together.

I don't prescribe medication, but I can collaborate with you in exploring whether medication might be a helpful part of your care. If you're interested in medication or would like to discuss your options, I can provide referrals to appropriate medical professionals, such as psychiatrists or other qualified prescribers. Therapy and medication can complement one another, and we can explore what combination of support may best meet your needs.
