faQ & Info

What is “somatic” & “relational” therapy?

Somatic therapy supports one’s whole being and attends to the body as the container of one’s life and self. This work involves deepening awareness of sensations and making connections between thoughts and feelings (and feeling those feelings), working with posture and movement to discharge stored-up hurt or trauma, exploring boundaries and embodiment, improving mindfulness and nervous-system regulation.

And the relational part? Welp, the thing is, we just can’t do this being human on our own. We need each other— for sensing safety, for witness and counsel, for holding and for being with. Safe, attuned therapeutic support is one of many ways we can experience more connection. And connection heals.

But what does it cost?

I charge a sliding scale from $100-150 per 60-minute session.

To determine where you fall on the sliding scale, I invite you to consider political, historical, & personal factors that comprise your socioeconomic position.
Example
Experiencing socioeconomic privilege? Pay 130-150.
Are you currently but not reliably economically comfortable? Pay 115-125.
Feeling financially stressed or struggling with economic injustice? Pay 100-110.
~ I accept electronic payment through a secure app called Ivy Pay (you don’t have to download anything). Cash or check is also fine.
Payment is required at the time of the session.

Do you take insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. My practice is intentionally grounded in a non-pathologizing approach rather than a diagnosis-centered medical model.

If you choose to seek reimbursement through your out-of-network insurance benefits, most insurance companies require a DSM diagnosis before they will process a claim. When requested, I can provide a superbill that includes a diagnosis code solely for insurance processing. The diagnosis is included to meet insurance requirements and should not be understood as the primary framework through which I understand you or guide our work together.

Do you do Telehealth?

I am open to having telehealth appointments with established clients with whom I’ve worked in person.

What’s your cancellation policy?

Please provide 24+ hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.
No-show appointments and same-day cancellations will result in a cancellation fee of $100.
