Individual Therapy
$200 per 50-minute session
Paying my full fee directly supports my ability to offer lower-fee sessions to others who cannot afford the full rate. In this way, your payment contributes to a broader commitment to collective care and access.
Sliding Scale Option
(limited availability)
$150-200 per 50-minute session
I offer a sliding scale to help make therapy more accessible to those navigating financial limitations. You’re invited to choose a rate within the $150–$200 range that feels sustainable for you. This is a pay-what-you-can model within that range—no application or proof of income is required. There is no “right” amount, only what’s doable for you right now. I trust you to choose with honesty and care.
Why I Don’t Accept Insurance
My work is rooted in the belief that care should be collaborative, intentional, and shaped by your needs, not dictated by external systems. Insurance companies often require a formal diagnosis, which becomes part of your medical record, and may request access to aspects of your care. They may also limit the number of sessions or the structure of treatment. I choose not to participate in that system so I can offer care that is more confidential, flexible, and responsive to you.
Superbills are available for possible out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.
