-
I do not have an office but I live in Denver and offer tele-health sessions to adults throughout Colorado.
-
I charge $200 for traditional 50 minute sessions, and therapy immersives start at $360 for 90 minutes.
-
Like most specialists, I am considered an out-of-network provider. However, it is possible you can use your out-of-network benefits to cover some or all of the cost of sessions. You will need to contact your insurance to confirm your benefits.
-
On our call we will discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and what services I offer and determine which is right for you. I will ask you questions to guide the call, but it is also an opportunity for you to ask me any questions that are important to you.
-
In an intake appointment, we’ll focus on getting to know you by defining your goals, reviewing any past therapy experiences, and discussing the pain points that brought you here. This session is about creating a safe and supportive space, so we won’t dive into the specifics of your trauma right away—I believe true trauma-informed care starts with building trust and understanding first. Together, we’ll set the foundation for your therapy experience at a pace that feels right for you.

There are many benefits to seeing an out-of-network therapist, including:
You don’t have to be labeled or diagnosed.
If you are seeing a therapist outside of insurance, they do not have to diagnose you with any disorders. If labels are unhelpful for you or you are worried about the stigma of being diagnosed with a mental health disorder, this is a major plus.
You can get access to premium services, like intensives.
In-network therapists have to stick to 45 or 60 minutes, but many people with trauma or whose brains prefer more time to process appreciate longer sessions. Read more about intensives here: (include link to page)
Your insurance can’t dictate who you see.
We’ve all been there, finally finding a therapist who’s good fit in-network but they go out-of-network 7 months later or your employer changes your insurance at the new year, and all of a sudden you’re thrown into a dozen consultation calls with new therapists all over again. Using an out-of-network therapist means you can continue seeing them without having to worry about your relationship being cut short.
You get specialized, high-quality care.
I offer a deeply personalized approach, drawing on somatic therapy, polyvagal theory, and trauma-informed practices. These specialized methods might not be widely available within your insurance network, but they can be transformative in addressing complex trauma, people-pleasing, and relational wounds.
Reimbursement may be an option.
If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, you might be able to receive partial reimbursement for our sessions. I can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company, which helps make specialized therapy more accessible. However, a diagnosis is required in order to use out-of-network benefits.
When it comes to therapy, finding the right fit can make all the difference. If you’re considering working with an out-of-network therapist, here’s why it could be the best choice for your healing journey:
You can prioritize your goals and privacy.
Working out-of the-network means I’m not bound by insurance requirements, which allows us to focus entirely on your goals—not a checklist dictated by your insurance company. Plus, your therapy sessions remain completely private, with no need to share personal details with an outside party.
You get a tailored, client-centered experience.
As an out-of-network therapist, I keep my practice intentionally small so I can dedicate more time and energy to your care. Together, we’ll create a treatment plan that feels aligned with your needs, goals, and pace.
