FAQ
How do I schedule a session?
Visit the "Contact Me" section on the website where you can request a call or email. I schedule sessions on weekdays mainly between the hours of 9am-5pm with limited evening availability. Before your first session I will ask you to complete some paperwork.
Do you accept insurance?
I provide out-of-network, fee-for-service care and do not participate on any insurance plans.
At your request, I will provide a statement with the information your insurance plan requires (i.e., superbill) to help you seek reimbursement. It is advisable to contact your insurance company prior to your first visit to determine how much, if any, of the visit fee will be reimbursed. Regardless of the status of your claims, you are responsible for the payment of your care.
