Frequently Asked Questions
-
I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. You pay for sessions at the time of your appointment, and I’ll provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits.
This choice keeps our work centered on you—not on what an insurance company dictates. It allows us to shape therapy around your needs, while protecting your privacy and keeping treatment decisions between us.
If you’d like to explore out-of-network benefits, here are some helpful questions to ask your insurance company:
Do I have out-of-network mental health coverage?
What is my deductible, and how much of it has been met?
What percentage of the session cost will be reimbursed?
How do I submit a superbill for reimbursement?
Are there session limits per year?
Are the following CPT codes covered: 90834, 90837, 90847?
Payment is due at the time of each session. I accept credit/debit cards and HSA/FSA cards, which many clients find convenient.
-
Yes. I keep a limited number of sliding scale spots open for those who need them. If cost feels like a barrier, please reach out — I want therapy to be as accessible as possible, and we can talk through what might work.
-
Individual sessions: $185
Relational/couples sessions: $200
Fees are due at the time of your session. I accept credit/debit cards and HSA/FSA cards.
I also reserve a small number of sliding scale spots for clients with financial need. If cost feels like a barrier, please reach out so we can talk about options.
-
Yes — right now I work virtually with clients across Minnesota. Many people find online therapy more convenient: no commute, no waiting rooms, and the comfort of meeting from home. It also gives you more space to ease into and out of your session without rushing back into your day.
In the future, I’ll also offer in-person sessions and walk-and-talk (nature-based) therapy.
-
Yes. Research shows that online therapy is be just as effective as in-person sessions for most concerns. What matters most is the quality of the therapeutic relationship.
Many clients even find online therapy more effective, because they feel safer and more open in their own space.
If your heart is set on in person session, I get it, and I’ll be adding the option for nature based therapy and in person sessions in the near future.
-
I work with people who are thoughtful and self-aware but still find themselves stuck. Many of my clients:
Struggle with repeating relationship patterns, even when they “know better”
Carry shame, fear, or anger that feels hard to shake
Feel disconnected from their emotions, body, or sense of self
Long for deeper intimacy and closeness, but find it difficult to create
Have a complicated relationship with themselves — self-critical, avoidant, or unsure how to be at home in their own skin
I also love working with clients who are curious about the spiritual or abstract, whether or not they call themselves “spiritual.”
At the core, my clients want something real: connection, clarity, and a way of being that feels more aligned and whole.
-
Every session is different, because every person is different. Sometimes we dig into the past to understand your patterns. Sometimes we focus on the here-and-now, how you’re feeling, what’s showing up in your relationships. Sometimes we work with the body, the nervous system, or the more abstract, soulful layers of your experience. My job is to help you connect the dots, feel what’s been unfelt, and integrate it in a way that changes your life.
-
Yes — though I call it relational therapy because it’s not just for romantic couples. I work with any two (or more) people in a relationship who want to improve communication, heal ruptures, or deepen connection. That could be partners, friends, siblings, or parent-adult child relationships.
-
Most clients start weekly to build momentum, then move to every other week as progress builds. The frequency depends on your goals, your life, and how much support you want. We’ll decide together. It’s always up to you.
-
Yes. For those wanting deep, concentrated work, I offer 3-hour intensives. These are especially helpful for moving through stuck points, deep trauma processing, navigating a big life transition, or doing relational repair work.
-
You’re not alone. Many of my clients have had therapy before that was fine, but didn’t get to the depth they needed. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and intuitive — meaning we won’t just talk about the problem, we’ll get underneath it and work with it in real time.
Have any questions you have not been answered? Feel free to reach to out! I would love to hear from you.
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.
If you believe you’ve been wrongly billed or for more information about your rights under Federal law, you may visit: www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
