FAQ

I have times available in the day, evenings, and on the weekend.

My sessions are 50 minutes.

To set-up an initial appointment you can either click here or contact me via either email or by telephone/text at (303) 223-9562.

Please give a 24-hour notice to cancel an appointment. If you provide less than a 24-hour notice, you will be charged the full session fee.

The cost is $130/session. I can provide superbills for out-of-network billing.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

You can pay with cash, check, or credit card.

I use a secure online portal that can take single card payments. You also can store your card number so that it does not have to be entered individually each time.

No, but I can provide you with a superbill for billing your insurance company.

There are several reasons that I don’t take insurance, including that I am not okay with insurance companies dictating treatments for some clients (depending on their insurance plan), despite my recommendations against this.

Insurance companies tend to focus on keeping their spending and reimbursement to a minimum, and they often see you as just a number in a business interaction. I am not okay with this, because you are a person – not a number.

I also have found that I spend too much time dealing with the bureaucracy on insurance instead of focusing my full energy on my clients, their needs, and my own training to better serve my clients.

I connect well with people who are motivated and ready to get uncomfortable and be honest and genuine. I want people to lean into fear in order to make lasting changes in their life.

I have been told that I am calm and grounded, and tend to be direct and upfront – but I need humor as well.

My approach is to come at therapy from the perspective that we heal in relationship – to ourselves and to others. I like to think outside the box and believe that therapy is best when it is individualized.

It is always a good question to ask. My interest was sparked when I had some personal experiences with people close to me who were struggling with an eating disorder.

Food, weight, and exercise are staples to our everyday life. We have so many messages about what to eat, how to be healthy, what our weight and body shape should be, and how we should look.

These messages can be overwhelming and can easily contribute to disordered eating and eating disorders.

It is difficult to see people’s lives become engulfed in thoughts about food, dieting, weight, and exercise. And it is difficult to see well-meaning supporters and providers who attempt to help someone with an eating disorder end up fostering unhelpful thoughts and beliefs in that person.

There is a need for accessible, knowledgeable resources to help treat eating disorders. This is especially true, because with these resources, it is possible to recover from an eating disorder.
