Before reaching out, please take a moment to review the following:

  • My rate is $200/session for individual therapy and $225/session for couples therapy, due at time of session.
  • I do not accept insurance, however, I do provide superbills that you may submit to your insurance provider to seek reimbursement. If you plan to request reimbursement from your insurance company, I recommend contacting them to understand the specifics of your out-of-network benefits and anticipated out-of-network costs. Some insurance providers will provide coverage for out-of-network providers, usually at a 40-80% rate.
  • You must live in Illinois to receive therapy from me.
