therapy investment
Attending therapy is an investment in your time, energy, and finances. ​​My fee is $220 for a 60-minute session. Sessions typically are scheduled weekly or every two weeks.
​
I am in network with most major insurance plans, which typically cover weekly mental health sessions that are considered medically necessary and have a qualifying diagnosis.
Your health insurance plan determines your actual out-of-pocket cost for your sessions. While I will bill your insurance, you, not your insurance plan, are ultimately responsible for the cost of your sessions.​​

cancellation policy
I reserve your appointment time just for you. Limiting the number of appointments I schedule each week allows me to provide quality care to my clients. Appointments not canceled at least 24 hours in advance will be charged at the rate paid by your insurance plan for your appointment (insurance cannot be billed for no-shows or late cancellations). In the event of an unavoidable conflict or emergency, we may be able to make another arrangement to avoid the cancelation fee.
In-Person
I offer in-person sessions for those located in or near the Treasure Valley. These sessions can be scheduled for 60 or 90 minutes.
Traditionally, counseling sessions are attended once per week but can be attended more frequently if it will help meet your goals more quickly.
Telehealth
Telehealth sessions are available for clients who live outside of the Treasure Valley or feel like this is a better fit for them. As with in-person sessions, Telehealth sessions can be 60 or 90 minutes long. They can be attended once per week or more frequently if it helps meet your goals more quickly.
I offer Telehealth Sessions in Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and Texas.
Accelerated
Trauma Recovery
Healing doesn't have to take months or years. Accelerated recovery entails elevating the frequency or duration of counseling sessions beyond the norms of traditional therapy. Intensive therapy aims to expedite progress and alleviate symptoms, enabling individuals to navigate intense and overwhelming trauma responses more swiftly and effectively. Utilizing Brainspotting in intensive sessions, a potent treatment focusing on the brain and body, aids in processing and releasing trauma, reshaping negative self-beliefs, and diminishing reliance on unhealthy coping mechanisms and problematic behaviors. This approach often results in accelerated improvements and a quicker development of coping skills, hastening progress and symptom relief.
