Are you willing to open up and consider making changes in your life?.
Do you have time in your schedule to meet consistently?
What Is Therapy Like?
My style is collaborative and conversational. I want to hear your story as I believe there is healing in one's narrative. Sometimes therapy is the only place where one's story gets told. Who you are, where you come from is important to me.
At times, therapeutic modalities might be utilized but the actual healing occurs within the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist.
You are always in control, and because of that, therapy is interactive and requires your commitment to show up and want to change.
How Much Does Therapy Cost?
Intake fee for individuals is $150

Commitment and healthy couple counseling and Parenting consulting are viewed as non-medically necessary services. These are considered non-diagnosable conditions.

Can I Use My Insurance?
I accept BCBS, Aetna. UHC, and Cigna. Please know that all insurance companies require a diagnosis for reimbursement and, although they might say there are no limits to the amount of sessions you attend, there is a need to justify the medical necessity.
I also accept Lyra and Public Safety Crisis Solutions (PSCS).
I am a vendor for Maricopa County's Victim of Compensation Act (VOCA). If you are a victim of a crime and are seeking counseling please click on this link.
Please call your insurance company to verify that I am credentialed with them. You will also want to ask these questions:
