FAQs

Frequency & Duration

Working with Complex Trauma (C-PTSD) is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your personal well-being. Adaptations to early life challenges are often deeply entrenched patterns and require depth-oriented, relational work to truly unwind. I use the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM®), a somatic approach specifically designed to effectively address and transform these internal distortions. I work with clients weekly to establish consistency in the therapeutic frame and relationship, which is essential for deep work and nervous system reorganization. Engaging in this process is a profound gift not only to yourself but also to your future and posterity. We will continuously track your intentions and progress together to ensure your healing remains focused and effective.

PAYMENT / insurance & Fees

As a specialized private-pay practice, I do not accept insurance or bill insurance companies directly.

The fee for a fifty-five minute session is $205.

Out-of-Network Benefits / Superbills

If you have "out-of-network" (OON) benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement for my services. Per request, I can provide you with a detailed statement, known as a superbill, which contains all the necessary diagnostic and service codes for you to submit directly to your insurance company.

No Surprises Act / Good Faith Estimate

Under the No Surprises Act (NSA), healthcare providers are required to provide a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of the expected charges for services, including psychotherapy.

  • When you request a GFE: I will provide you with a written GFE that is good through the end of a calendar year.

  • What it covers: The estimate will list the expected costs for weekly therapy through the end of the calendar year. Since the actual course of therapy varies, this is an estimate and not a contract.

  • Disputes: If you receive a bill that is substantially higher than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.

Cancellation Policy

Your session time is reserved specifically for you. To honor the time we have scheduled, I require at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, or if you miss the appointment without notice, you will be responsible for the full session fee ($205). I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in respecting this policy, which allows me to maintain a consistent practice.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is the cornerstone of our therapeutic relationship. As a licensed psychotherapist, I am bound by strict ethical standards and state laws (including HIPAA) to protect your privacy. This means that everything you discuss in our sessions is kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with anyone without your explicit written consent.

Please note the legal limits of confidentiality: Like all healthcare providers, there are a few legal exceptions where I am required to break confidentiality. These exceptions include:

  • If I have reasonable suspicion of abuse or neglect of a child, elderly person, or disabled person.

  • If I believe you are an imminent danger to yourself or to another specific, identifiable person.

  • If I receive a court order or subpoena requiring the release of records.

We will review these policies thoroughly during our first session to ensure you fully understand how your privacy is protected.
