Frequently Asked Questions

  • I do accept some insurance plans. Please contact me directly to discuss which plans I am currently in network with.

    For clients who have insurance that I don’t accept, I am able to provide a superbill (detailed) receipt to help clients get money back on out-of- network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits, you can submit the superbill to your insurance company for a % reimbursement of the monies paid to me for the session, based on your out-of-network mental health insurance benefits. To find out if you have out-of-network insurance benefits, call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card or log on to your insurance plan’s website.

  • My office hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8am to 6pm.

  • While I prefer in person sessions, I do offer a telehealth option for clients physically located in Nevada at the time of our meeting. You can access the video software from your phone, your iPad/tablet, or your Mac/PC from anywhere you have a strong Wi-Fi connection or signal and privacy. Online appointments do require you to use video, share your location (for safety reasons) and remain stationary for the duration of the appointment, i.e., no driving.

  • No. I do not conduct evaluations, write reports or letters, make recommendations, or provide expert testimony for any criminal or family court related matter. There are therapists in the professional community who specialize in that type of service.

  • The first appointment is an “Intake,” where you will describe what is happening, why you are seeking treatment, your goals, and determine if you would like to proceed with treatment.

  • Beginning January 1, 2022, if you’re uninsured or don’t plan to submit your claim to your health plan, health care providers and facilities must provide you with a “good faith estimate” of expected charges before you get an item or service. The good faith estimate isn’t a bill.

    • Providers and facilities must give you a good faith estimate if you ask for one, or when you schedule an item or service. It should include expected charges for the primary item or service you’re getting, and any other items or services provided as part of the same scheduled experience.

    • Disputing charges higher than the estimate:

    • If you get the bill and the charges from a single provider are at least $400 more than the good faith estimate, you may be eligible to start a patient-provider dispute.

    • For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3095.

    • Note: if you are using out of network insurance benefits, you are not entitled to a Good Faith Estimate. It is only for clients who are uninsured and/or self-pay, i.e., not using insurance to pay for services in any form.

  • I work with teens and adults. When working with teens, I routinely request a preliminary meeting with significant adults in the teen’s life.
