I hold firmly to the belief that psychotherapy and perinatal support should be accessible to all. This is a systemic issue, and while we hold systems accountable for the inaccessibility of care, I also believe that individual psychotherapists and birthworkers should be paid a living wage—especially those who have been socialized to be caretakers in other areas of life (namely women, femmes, Black people, and people of color).
Therapist fees are priced to account for overhead, annual licensing fees, liability insurance, sick/family leave, business taxes, and other administrative fees required for running a practice. Additionally, having fees that are commensurate with my education, experience, and expertise allows me to hold low fee and sliding scale spots for those who are low income, unemployed, or otherwise unable to afford services.

While I do not bill insurance directly, I am able to provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for partial reimbursement. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your reimbursement would be.

I call our first 4 meetings “getting-to-know-you” sessions. In addition to the therapeutic work, during this time, we will also assess for fit.
If we decide to continue working together, we'll schedule regular follow-up appointments and continue our therapeutic work together. If either of us feels that you would be better served by another professional, I will provide you with referrals for professionals who may be a better fit for your needs.

Of course! I happily work with people of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds

In order to remain committed to my values of equity and accessibility, I offer a limited number of reduced-fee services. These services are primarily reserved for people who have been historically and systematically restricted from accessing equitable perinatal and mental health care.

I am currently only offering virtual therapy sessions.
I occasionally offer in-home therapy sessions in the immediate postpartum period as well. For more details on this offering, please reach out to me directly.

I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. If for any reason you are unable to make your appointment and you cancel 48-hours or more in advance you will not be charged.
If you cancel with less than 48-hours notice, you will be charged the full fee for your therapy session.
More details on this policy will be discussed during our first session.

No Surprises Act
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, healthcare 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 healthcare 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.
