Where your healing matters and you’re never alone in this journey.

Do you accept health insurance?

Yes, I currently accept Aetna and Cigna through Alma. If you're unsure whether I'm in-network, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to help you figure it out.

I don’t see my insurance listed, can I still work with you using out-of-network benefits?

Absolutely. In many cases, clients can use their out-of-network benefits to work with me.

My out-of-network rate is $175 per session, and you'll be responsible for the full payment at the time of your appointment.

To make this easier, I use a platform called Thrizer that helps clients get reimbursed from their insurance, without you having to fill out a bunch of paperwork. They take care of submitting claims directly to your insurance company at no cost to you.

✨ Just so you know: Thrizer is completely optional. I don’t benefit from it, it’s simply a tool to support your access to care.

How much will therapy cost with out-of-network benefits?

If you have out-of-network coverage, your insurance may reimburse you for 60–80% of the session fee, depending on your plan.

Thrizer has a reimbursement calculator that you can use here and it will give you an estimate of what your real cost would be before we even begin. And yes,  they’ll handle all the insurance paperwork for you.

How do I use my out-of-network benefits?

If you're using Thrizer, they’ll do it all for you. Easy.

If you’d prefer to manage it yourself, I’ll send you a superbill on the 1st of each month. You can upload it to your insurance company’s portal, and they’ll mail you a reimbursement check.

💡 Pro tip: Call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask:

• Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health coverage?

• Can I use it for telehealth sessions?

• What is my out-of-network deductible?

• How much of that deductible have I already met?

• Do I need a referral?

• What percentage will be reimbursed for CPT code 90834 (45-minute session) or 90837 (60-minute session)?

• How do I submit claims?

• How long does reimbursement take?

What if I can’t afford your full rate? Do you offer a sliding scale?

Yes — I hold a limited number of sliding scale spots using an Anti-Oppressive Rate Structure. I believe therapy should be accessible, especially for those in marginalized communities who have historically been underserved.

If cost is a concern, don’t hesitate to reach out. If I’m unable to offer a reduced-rate spot, I’ll do my best to refer you to trusted, affordable providers in the area.

You can also explore in-network options at psychologytoday.com and lower-cost therapy through Open Path Psychotherapy Collective.

How Do I Determine My Sliding Scale Rate?

I use an Anti-Oppressive Rate Structure to offer more equitable access to care. Inspired by the Anti-Oppression Resource and Training Alliance, this model invites you to honestly reflect on your financial access and choose a rate that feels sustainable for you. It’s built on trust, not proof — and designed to make healing more accessible across our communities.

Sliding Scale Therapy Rates:

• Redistribution Tier: $200/hour — for those with abundant financial access who want to contribute to community care

• Full Cost Tier: $175/hour — the standard rate that reflects the full cost of services

• Sustain Tier: $150/hour — for those with steady income but limited flexibility

• Solidarity Tier: $125/hour — for those with less financial stability who still want consistent support

• Reparations Tier: $100/hour — for those from historically marginalized communities with limited financial access

Self-Assessment Questions To Determine Your Rate

Answer each with Yes or No:

• Are you and/or your family homeowners or landowners? (Not applicable for Native or Indigenous folks)

• Are you able to consistently access and afford food?

• Are you a U.S. Citizen?

• Can you make minimum payments on bills or credit cards?

• Have you been able to easily access and afford health insurance?

• Do you have minimal debt or disposable income?

• Do you have a financial safety net (e.g., financially stable family or friends)?

• Is your housing stable and secure?

• Does your income only support you and not others?

• Have you inherited or expect to inherit property or money?

• Was your degree funded without loans?

Scoring Guide

• Yes to most/all questions: Redistribution ($200/hr)

• Yes to 7–9 questions: Full Cost ($175/hr)

• Yes to 4–6 questions: Sustain ($150/hr)

• Yes to 1–3 questions: Solidarity ($125/hr)

What's your cancellation policy? 

I require 48 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. If you cancel with less than 48 hours notice:

• Private pay clients will be charged your full session rate.

• Insurance clients will be charged a $100 late cancellation fee (not billable to insurance).

This policy allows me to hold the container of therapy with care and consistency — for you and everyone I support.

Do you work with clients outside of Maryland?

Not at this time. I’m currently licensed in Maryland, which means you must be a Maryland resident for us to work together.

Do you see clients in person?

No, at this time I only offer virtual therapy sessions. All appointments are held via a secure video platform.

What if I’m not sure we’re the right fit?

That’s a great question — and one I fully support asking.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if we’re a good match. You’ll get to:

• Share a bit about what’s bringing you to therapy

• Learn how I work and what to expect

• Ask anything that’s on your mind

And if I’m not the right fit? I’ll happily help connect you to someone who is.

We’re a good fit — what happens next?

Once we decide to move forward, I’ll schedule your first session and send over intake forms and a secure video link. 

What’s the first session like?

The first few sessions are about building safety and connection. No pressure to go deep right away — we move at your pace.

We’ll explore your story, your goals, and start gently naming the patterns and pain that brought you here. This is a space for honesty, reflection, and healing — with room for both the hard stuff and the hopeful stuff.
