Why I don't accept insurance.
When I decided to step away from insurance, it wasn’t just a business move. It was a values-based decision.
Insurance companies regularly create barriers to meaningful care. They often require a mental health diagnosis just to approve treatment. They limit how long therapy can last, both the length of the session and the duration of sessions. They can impose a clawback, meaning that they want to be reimbursed for services that were already provided. They sometimes ask for your personal clinical information in order to determine “medical necessity”.
That’s not therapy. That’s gatekeeping.
Therapy should be a space that belongs to you—not a company.
In my private-pay practice, we decide how often to meet, what to focus on, and how to move forward, without interference. It’s confidential. It’s collaborative. And it’s yours.

Good Faith Estimate
NO SURPRISES ACT
The No Surprises Act is aimed at eliminating surprise medical bills for patients. In regards to your work with me as a mental health provider and nutritionist, if you are not using your insurance to cover services you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 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 for therapy sessions or any other services related to your treatment with me.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your appointment. 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.
