APPROACH

I practice from a strengths-based, systematic, and relational framework. I am trained in Level I + Level II Sensorimotor Psychotherapy which is a somatic practice focused on trauma processing and healing through building consciousness to your body memory. I incorporate this practice into traditional talk therapy as a way to build body connection.

SPECIALITIES

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and have earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from DePaul University. I have experience working in various mental health settings with a range of populations.

I have training and experience with a wide range of issues which include: trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, sexual orientation, gender identity, identity exploration, stress, and burnout.

RATES + INSURANCE

55 minute individual session: $175

I strongly believe that everyone should have access to counseling services regardless of their ability to pay.  For that reason, I offer a limited number of reduced fee sessions for those who are experiencing financial hardship or do not have insurance. These reduced fees are determined on an individual basis and availability.

I am in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Choice, and Aetna.

I am an in-network provider for Illinois residents only.  If you plan on using insurance that I am not in-network with, the full fee is required at the end of every session. I then provide a monthly invoice for you to obtain reimbursement. I would recommend calling your insurance to understand your benefits.

Here are some questions to ask your insurer about out-of-network benefits before we meet:

  • Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health services?

  • Do I need to meet a deductible before I can start obtaining reimbursement for out of network services?

    • If yes, what is my deductible and how far am I in meeting it for this calendar year?

  • What percentage of services will you reimburse for once my deductible is met?

  • What is the process to submit for out-of-network reimbursement?

Please note: Your time is reserved for you and you alone. Therefore, cancellations less than 24 hours from your scheduled appointment time will result in my full fee of $175. This fee is not covered by insurance.
