I am not currently paneled with any insurance companies at this time. I am able to provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider to get a better idea of what your reimbursement would be.

In order to try and increase access to care, I offer a select number of reduced fee spots in my practice. These spots are prioritized for folks who are needing specialized care and are not able to afford my full fee. I run my sliding scale on an honor system and all you need to do is send me an email asking about my sliding scale openings or ask during a consultation! If no spots are open, I have a specific waitlist for lower fee spots.

I believe there are a lot of benefits with working with a neurodivergent therapist! By having shared experiences, there is often a base level of understanding that I believe helps in building a solid therapeutic relationship. For example, you’ll never have to explain to me why the fridge making that loud noise makes you upset, because I get it!

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) explaining the expected cost of services you will receive at our practice, if you are uninsured, self-pay, or elect not to use insurance for any portion of your services. This estimate will detail the reasonably expected charges for all items and services we anticipate providing. Under this 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 occupational and speech therapy services. You can ask our practice 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.
