Payment and Insurance
Simple, transparent payment options
I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. This allows us to focus fully on your care—without the limitations or requirements often placed by insurance companies.
Many clients choose private pay for greater privacy, flexibility, and a more personalized therapeutic experience.

Cash is accepted, as well all major credit and debit cards or FSA cards. A card may be kept securely on file for convenience and will be charged at time of each session unless other arrangements are made.
Payment is due at time of service. For extended sessions or intensives, payment plans may be available and can be arranged in advance. Some sliding scale appointments may be available and rates could increase.
Payment is due at time of booking. Prepaid sessions are non-refundable but may be scheduled or applied to another service within six months
