FAQ

  • A sliding scale fee structure adjusts the cost of therapy based on an individualā€™s ability to pay. This approach ensures that high-quality mental health support is available to a broader range of clients, fostering inclusivity and community well-being.

  • Eligibility is on the honor system, I donā€™t ask for documentation. I just ask that you let me know if your situation changes so this option can continue to be available to others. My intent is to expand access to therapy. For example:

    • Uninsured or underinsured clients: Individuals without adequate mental health coverage.

    • Individuals facing financial hardship: Individuals experiencing temporary or long-term financial challenges, or cases where paying the full uninsured rate would create financial hardship.

    • Students and young adults: Navigating personal growth, identity, and lifeā€™s transitions.

  • Please note that if you are using insurance, the sliding scale option cannot be applied.

    Insurance companies require that providers charge the full contracted rate agreed upon in their policies. Offering a reduced fee to insured clients is prohibited by insurance agreements and regulations.

  • LGBTQ+ individuals are often underrepresented and face significant barriers to accessing quality mental health care. Discrimination, stigma, and systemic inequalities can make it challenging to find supportive and affirming therapy. My mission is to help bridge this gap by providing accessible, high-quality care tailored to the unique needs of our community.

    By offering a sliding scale, I aim to ensure that everyoneā€”regardless of financial circumstancesā€”has the opportunity to pursue joy and well-being.

  • You can expect the same level of exceptional, affirming therapy that all my clients receive. Your journey toward joy and transformation is my top priority, and Iā€™m here to support you every step of the way.

  • I approach financial discussions with the utmost confidentiality and respect. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where you feel empowered to share your needs openly.
