While I will do my best to make an appointment available as soon as possible, I do not provide emergency or crisis support. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please immediately call 911, use the hotlines numbers below, or go to the nearest emergency room.

• For an emotional crisis or if you are feeling suicidal, please contact:

  • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text HOME to 741741

• For LGBTQ+ specific crisis intervention or suicide prevention, please contact:

  • The Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text START to 678-678

• For Adult and Youth that live in Broward County, a mobile crisis response team is available to come to your location. Please contact:

  • Henderson Mobile Crisis Response Team at 954-463-0911

If you cannot make your appointment, I appreciate you letting me know as soon as possible. At minimum, 48-hr notice of cancellation is required to avoid a late fee. If an appointment is cancelled with less than 24-hr notice, you will be responsible for 100% of the session fee.

In the event of an emergency, you may request a fee waiver and submit appropriate documentation (ie. an urgent care bill, doctor’s note, etc). Fee waiver requests do not guarantee reimbursement.

The No Surprises Act (H.R. 133), effective January 1st, 2022, requires that healthcare providers provide an estimate of the bill for any medical items or services, to clients or patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance.

A Good Faith Estimate is an estimate of the total expected costs of non-emergency healthcare items or services.

• It’s intended to offer predictability and transparency in how much clients will be charged prior to their appointment.

• Accounts for predictable, regularly scheduled appointments or services (i.e. therapy sessions)

• Does not account for late cancellations, no-shows, crisis care, additional time required, etc.

• It may include consultations with collateral contacts, fees related to paperwork requests, and other legal and administrative fees related to client care when such items are scheduled in advance.

Should clients decide that they need additional services after the original Good Faith Estimate was provided (i.e. after beginning individual therapy, you decide to add on family therapy), an updated Good Faith Estimate can be requested/will be provided.

I am currently in network with Aetna. Outside of insurance, I am equipped to accept payment through Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts. I am not in-network with any other insurance providers at this time.

Should your insurance provider offer out-of-network benefits, I am happy to provide you with the paperwork necessary (a superbill) to submit for reimbursement. You would pay for the full cost of the session, then submit this document to your provider.

A superbill includes the necessary codes and billing information for you to submit to your insurance provider. Please consult with your insurance company about your benefits as a superbill does not guarantee that they will reimburse you.

Some helpful questions include:

- Does my insurance plan include mental health benefits?

- Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it?

- Does my plan limit how many sessions I can have per year? If so, what is the limit?

- Do I need to see a general practitioner for approval before my services can be covered?

When you do not include your insurance company (and pay privately), your records are exempt from insurance reporting. This means that your information is not disclosed to your insurance company and therefore cannot become a permanent part of your file. This also means you control the frequency and amount of sessions you attend.

Using your out-of-network benefits can be helpful but also requires that a claim is submitted. When you submit a superbill, this forces a disclosure of your mental health diagnosis. Depending on your insurance plan, you may be limited in the amount of sessions you can have, the frequency of these sessions, or what must be covered in those sessions for continued approval.

Sessions can either be purchased individually at full price, or as a part of a package of 3 or 5 sessions at a discounted rate. Reach out to learn more!
