Investment in Your Care

I am an out-of-network provider. My practice is private pay, which means I work for you, not for an insurance company. You receive my full attention, flexible scheduling, and care that is never constrained by insurance limitations.

Sessions are 50 minutes in length. Please contact me directly for current rates.

Payment

Cash, check, and all major credit cards are accepted. Payment is due at the time of service.

Out-of-Network & Superbill

I provide a detailed superbill after each session which you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many PPO plans reimburse 40–80% of out-of-network therapy costs.

Before your first session I recommend calling the member services number on your insurance card and asking: "What are my out-of-network mental health benefits?"

Cancellation Policy

I require 48 hours notice for cancellations. Late cancellations will be charged the full session fee. I understand that life happens — please reach out as soon as you know you need to cancel.

Good Faith Estimate

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care before beginning services. I am happy to provide this upon request.

Do you offer a consultation before the first session? Yes. I offer a brief phone consultation (approximately 15 minutes) so we can explore whether my approach is a good fit for what you're going through. Please call my confidential voicemail at (724) 856-0875 to arrange a consultation.

What is Somatic Experiencing? Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-based approach to healing trauma developed by Dr. Peter Levine. Rather than reliving painful memories through talk, SE gently helps the nervous system complete interrupted stress responses and return to its natural capacity for regulation and resilience. It is particularly effective for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and stress-related conditions.

Do you work with adolescents? Yes, I work with both adults and adolescents. If you are seeking therapy for a young person, please reach out to discuss whether my approach would be a good fit for their specific needs and situation.
