Frequently Asked Questions.

Why Cash Pay?

Working outside the limits of insurance gives us more freedom, depth, and creativity.

🌿 More Flexibility
Insurance often restricts what we can do (location, session type, frequency, duration). Cash-pay allows us to meet outdoors, extend sessions, or structure therapy in ways that better fit you — not a billing code.

🔐 Privacy + Autonomy
When you use insurance, your therapy becomes part of your medical record. Cash pay keeps our work confidential and out of the system — no diagnosis required, no hoops to jump through.

🌀 More Depth
Insurance often focuses on symptom reduction. But real healing isn’t just about checking boxes — it’s about reconnecting to yourself. Cash pay allows us to move at your pace, explore creatively, and dive deeper into the work that actually matters to you.

💬 Collaborative Energy
I find that clients who choose cash pay are often the ones most invested in the process. They show up fully, ask big questions, and are motivated by something deeper than just “fixing” a problem — they want real change.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. I offer payment plans for private-pay sessions, allowing you to split payment into 2, 3, or even 4 installments. This applies to all out-of-pocket sessions — including walk-and-talk, in-office, and virtual. If paying all at once feels out of reach, I’ll work with you to find a rhythm that supports your healing. (Note: payment plans are not available when using insurance.)

Do you take insurance?

Yes — through third-party billing services like Rula, Tava, and Headway. These platforms allow me to accept many major insurances, including Cigna, Aetna, United, and others. If you’re unsure whether your plan qualifies, I can help you find out.

What forms of payment do you accept?

I accept credit/debit cards (via Stripe), Venmo, and other secure payment methods. Payment is due at the time of service unless we’ve arranged a plan.

Why do some sessions require cash pay?
Outdoor and walk-and-talk sessions are not covered by insurance, so these are only available as cash-pay options.

What if you don’t take my insurance?

If I’m not in-network, you can still work with me as an out-of-network provider. I offer superbills (detailed receipts) for reimbursement, and many clients receive partial reimbursement this way. I’m happy to guide you through that process.

What’s your rate for private pay (cash) clients?

My standard rate is:

  • $160 for virtual sessions

  • $180 for in-person sessions or Walk & Talk sessions

  • Extended 90- and 120-minute sessions are also available

Can I do therapy outdoors or in nature?

Absolutely. Nature-based “Walk & Talk” sessions are one of the most grounding ways I work with clients. These are available for cash-pay clients only due to insurance restrictions.

Where do you meet in person?

I offer in-person sessions at two locations:

  • Sugarhouse (inside the Neighborhood Hive)

  • Midvale
    I also meet outdoors on local trails (such as Rotary Park in Draper).
    When booking an in-person session, just choose a time and I’ll follow up to confirm the location.

I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help. What’s different about this?

This is a more holistic and body-based approach. We move at your pace and focus on what actually helps you feel safe, empowered, and seen. When I think of holistic health, I think of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health.
