  • I have an office in Carrollwood (North Tampa, Florida) where I can see clients for in-person sessions. I also offer virtual appointments for clients anywhere in the state of Florida.

  • 50 minute session: $175

    Like most specialty providers, I do not participate in any insurance plans. Please see FAQ below as I may be able to help you access your out-of-network benefits - many of my clients do get reimbursed through their insurance for a portion of my fee.

    *I do leave room in my caseload for a certain number of sliding scale spots. Please connect with me to talk more about your needs.

  • Many insurance plans provide out-of-network benefits. With this benefit, you pay in full at the time of our session, and can later submit a super bill to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. I automatically provide these super bills to you monthly if you plan on submitting to your insurance. I also utilize a company called Mentaya which can help you submit directly to your insurance. For Clients who are interested, I help get you set up and submit to Mentaya when you have a session with me (you still pay up front for the session and Mentaya will help you get reimbursed!).

    How much should I expect to pay using out-of-network benefits?

    If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance typically will reimburse you for 60-80% of the cost of each session. Each plan is different so I always recommend calling to find out the specifics of your plan.

    How do I actually use my out-of-network benefits?

    Your out-of-network benefits are usually pretty straightforward to use. Most insurance companies have you upload your monthly Superbill online and then they will mail you a check with your reimbursement.

    It’s always a good idea to call the number on the back of your health insurance card listed under Member Services.

    You can ask them the following questions:

    Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health coverage? Am I able to use these benefits for telehealth?

    What is my out-of-network deductible?

    How much of my deductible has been met this year?

    Do I need a referral from an in-network provider to see someone out-of-network?

    What percentage of outpatient psychotherapy sessions are covered per session?

    How much will I be reimbursed for a 45 minute psychotherapy session (CPT code: 90834)?

    How do I submit claim forms for reimbursement?

    How long does it take for me to receive reimbursement?

  • I reserve several spots in my practice for those who are unable to pay the full fee. Please note: These spots are currently full.

    Open Path Psychotherapy Collective is another great option for reduced fee/sliding scale therapy.

    If you have out of network benefits through your insurance plan, I can help you submit for possible reimbursement (see FAQ below!)

  • Yes! I see clients both in my office in Tampa or virtually throughout the state of Florida. I am happy to offer telehealth via secure, HIPAA-compliant video.

  • This varies depending on a few things! Some clients come see me for a short period of time to address something very specific, whereas others may come long-term if that is what feels right for them. Depending on their unique needs, I see clients weekly/every other week/on an occasional basis.

    When we begin our work I will recommend that we see eachother weekly for the first few session (if possible) to start to develop a relationship and figure out together what your needs are.

  • Before scheduling a therapy session, I like to connect first with all potential new clients. This gives us the chance to get to know each other.

    Here’s what you can expect:

    I’ll ask you about why you’re seeking therapy

    I’ll tell you a bit about myself and my approach as a therapist

    You can ask me any questions that I didn’t cover

    We’ll talk about rates, insurance, availability, etc.
