Are you seeing clients in person?

My practice is completely online to make it easy for you to fit therapy into your schedule without having to travel.

What is your rate for therapy?

My rate is $150 for a 60-minute session for private pay individual therapy and $165 for a 75-min couples therapy session. For those with Blue Cross Blue Shields and HealthChoice, rates vary depending on your insurance copay and whether you've met your deductible.

• BCBS before meeting deductible: $95 - $115 per session
• BCBS copay (after meeting deductible): typically ranges between $9 - $50 per session.
• HealthChoice before meeting deductible: $150 per session
• HealthChoice after meeting deductible: typically $25-$30

Do you take my insurance?

I take HealthChoice and Blue Cross Blue Shields. I am out-of-network for all other insurances. For out-of-network clients, we can provide you a detailed receipt called a superbill to give to your insurance company for reimbursement. The reimbursement rate depends on your insurance, and it would be a good idea to call them to ask if you have out-of-network benefits and what they'll reimburse for CPT code 90837 (individual therapy for at least 53 minutes).

I recommend using Reimbursify to help you with the reimbursement process if you don't want the hassle of dealing with your insurance company.

What if I need therapy but can’t afford it?

You can apply or financial assistance through Pier 34 here: www.pier34.org/client-application. They are an awesome non-profit that will pay for 12 therapy sessions for those who qualify. Your copay will be $15 per session.

Can you treat people who live outside of Oklahoma?

Our license restricts us to only treating people who are in Oklahoma, but you can look for a Certified TEAM-CBT therapist in your state through the Feeling Good Institute therapist directory.

How do you treat trauma and PTSD?

I've worked hard to find the best trauma treatments to effectively help you heal from the effects of the hard life experiences you've been through. I've had formal training in trauma-specific treatments including Prolonged Exposure (PE), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET). At this time, I have a strong leaning toward IFS and WET in combination with TEAM-CBT for helping clients deeply heal in the shortest amount of time.

How do you treat anxiety and OCD?

The therapy approaches that I love due to being both compassionate and effective include TEAM-CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I-CBT and ERP. You can read more about my therapy approaches here.

How long will it take for me to feel better?

Length of treatment depends on a few factors, with one of the biggest factors being your willingness to do the active work of learning tools in session and applying them for therapy homework. While there are no guaranteess, most of my clients feel significantly better after about 6-8 sessions of active work. If you're going through the I-CBT treatment process for OCD, this will typically take about 12-15 sessions.

Also, beyond focusing on feeling better, I want to help you work toward living a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Do I need medications to get better?

It really just depends. I’ve worked with people who haven’t taken any meds and fully recovered. I’ve also worked with people who really felt like medications were effective in helping them feel better and was an important part of their recovery. Many of my clients end up weaning off their medications once they start to apply the therapy tools and processes.

I'd highly recommend doing your own research and consulting with your medical provider. Balance Women's Health is great for medication management needs. They are the best at what they do, with thorough and caring providers.

What if I have to cancel an appointment?

I understand that emergencies come up and life happens. I do not charge for cancelled sessions but request that you give me as advanced notice as possible. After two consecutive cancellations, I will discuss pausing therapy until you are able to attend weekly sessions consistently. Your weekly attendance allows us to be most effective in helping you meet your goals.
