Please read the following information to help you discern if I might be an acceptable guide in this significant investment of emotional and financial resources.
 
Insurance
While all of my patients pay psychotherapy fees privately, I provide superbills upon request to those who wish to apply for out-of-network reimbursement. Depending on coverage, some will receive a portion of psychotherapy fees reimbursed by their insurance companies. Many will not receive any reimbursement. Being reimbursed for my full fee is extremely rare.

Sliding Scale and Pro Bono Availability
Facilitating treatment with underserved populations is an important facet of my professional values system. As such, I offer sliding scale and pro bono appointments. I prioritize current patients who have experienced catastrophic changes to their financial stability, and underinsured or uninsured individuals who are BIPOC, individuals leaving abusive situations in enclosed fundamentalist Mormon communities, and gender-diverse individuals. 
 
Please understand that my sliding scale and pro bono appointments are usually full, but do not hesitate to reach out if you would like to apply.
