  • Initially your therapist will have an intake appointment with you. In the intake and subsequent appointments, we will discuss your history and formulate goals for our work together.

    Therapy generally occurs weekly or every other week. In appointments, we will talk about how you are doing, build skills, process your concerns, and actively review how treatment is going.

    Therapy occurs collaboratively and with your active input and participation. It is a space for you to voice your needs, advocate for yourself, and learn the skills to transform your life outside of the therapy room.

  • I'm physically located in Indianapolis, IN and offer in-person appointments to people based locally.

  • The intake session is $330 and subsequent appointments are $275 per 50-minute hour.

  • I am an out of network provider, which means that I am not paneled with any insurance companies. I can provide you with a superbill which you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

    Before we schedule our first appointment, I advise calling your insurance and asking them about coverage for out of network providers, including:

    • Do I have out of network coverage in my plan?

    • What percentage or amount do they reimburse for out of network providers?

    • Do I have to meet a deductible before getting reimbursed by insurance? If so, how high is my deductible?

  • Working with an out-of-network provider allows you to keep your medical and mental health information confidential. It allows you to dictate the treatment that you need with your therapist, including the frequency of appointments, the type of care received, and the length of your appointments, without needing to let insurance make these decisions for you.

    Many people choose to see out-of-network providers when they offer highly specialized training and expertise that in-network providers do not offer. In addition, sometimes an out-of-network provider feels like "the best fit" to work with. As an out-of-network provider, I limit the number of clients I see, and am able to provide responsive, often same-day care. This can allow for a more personalized and quality experience for you as a client.

  • After our initial consultation, we will schedule an intake appointment together. I will also send you an email link to register for my secure electronic medical record (EMR). After registering for the EMR, I will send you documents to complete before our first appointment. We will review these documents together in our first visit.

    The intake appointment is an opportunity to fully understand your background and history, including what is bringing you to treatment now. During the intake and the first few appointments, we will talk in depth about your specific needs and develop a plan together to improve your mental health.

  • 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 the No Surprises Help Desk at 1-800-985-3059.
