Rate, Insurance & What to Expect
How it Works
What actually happens, start to finish.
1
Free 15-Minute Phone Call
We'll talk about what's bringing you in, what your situation looks like, and what you're hoping for. I'll answer any questions about how I work, and we'll see together whether it feels like the right fit.
2
Paperwork & Insurance
I'll send consent forms and intake paperwork to sign electronically. If you're using insurance, I'll verify your benefits before the first session so there are no surprises about cost. Then we find a time to meet.
3
First Session
Fifty minutes, by video. We'll cover background information and family history, and talk about what you're hoping for. If you're not sure yet, that's okay. Most people aren't, and figuring it out is part of the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
All sessions are online by video, anywhere in Colorado. That's intentional. A lot of the people I work with can't easily leave the house—because of a caregiving schedule, because there's no one to cover, or because the nearest therapist who understands this work is three hours away. Meeting by video takes that obstacle out of the way.
-
Yes. I'm in network with Kaiser Permanente, United Healthcare, Cigna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Aetna.
If you're insured through one of these, your cost is typically your copay, though it's worth checking your specific plan since coverage can vary.
-
My rate is $155 for a 50-minute session. Sliding scale spots are limited, please ask on the consultation call.
For clients using out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill on request. Verifying costs and coverage with your insurance provider is up to you.
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges. I'll provide one before your first session. More information at https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
-
I typically ask for a three-month commitment to weekly sessions at the start, because the early work builds on itself and needs some momentum.
I also know weekly is a real ask when your schedule isn't fully your own. If that's not workable right now, say so on the consultation call. I'd rather we adjust the plan together than have you sign up for something that becomes one more thing to keep up with.
-
We'll go through background, family history, and the medical picture, and start sorting out what you're hoping to get from therapy. You don't need to prepare anything or have it organized ahead of time. Showing up is enough.
-
I ask for 24 hours' notice. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged at my full rate.
That said, I work with people whose plans get upended by a hospitalization or a sick day at school. When something like that happens, tell me and we'll work it out.
If cancellations start happening often, we'll look together at whether there's a time that fits your schedule better.
-
Yes to both. I see clients from age 12 through adulthood, which means a teenage sibling and a middle-aged one are equally at home here.
Sometimes a parent reaches out on a sibling's behalf, and sometimes an adult sibling comes on their own, years after the fact. Both are good reasons to call.
-
I see individuals rather than couples. That said, caregiving puts real strain on a marriage, and a lot of my work with individuals is about exactly that. How the two of you divide the load, how you handle disagreements about care, and what's happened to your relationship underneath it all.
If what you're looking for is couples therapy specifically, I'd recommend searching for a therapist who specializes in working with couples.
