Questions? I’ve got answers.

My rate is $140 / hr for individual sessions and $160 / hr for couples. The rate is subject to increase with experience and cost of living increases.

I offer a limited number of reduced-fee appointments for those with financial needs. The sliding scale fee is limited to 6 Sessions. If this is of interest to you, please inquire for more information.

I accept the following insurances: United Healthcare (UBH,UMR, Rocky Mountain Health Plans), Aetna, and Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield

I am able to provide superbills as an out-of-network provider to submit to other insurances.

For intensives and KAP sessions, I am unable to provide superbills or bill insurance.

Please keep in mind that the use of insurance requires documentation of a diagnosis and may limit your treatment approach.

Yes, I work with Building Hope scholarships. I am also on the Mountain Strong platform for Eagle County.

If you are a Summit County resident you may apply for a Building Hope Scholarship to offset the initial cost of therapy. These scholarships are supported by grants and are in limited supply, so if you utilize a scholarship please be mindful of these resources. You can apply for a scholarship here.

I accept credit cards (including HSA cards), checks, and cash.

I require keeping a card on file for all clients, including scholarship, insurance, EAP, and CVC clients to cover costs not covered by payer source.

Appointment times are limited. If you must cancel your appointment, I request 48 hours’ notice. Missed appointments or appointments canceled within 48 hours’ notice will incur a fee equal to the cost of the session.

In the event of a true, unavoidable emergency, all or part of your cancellation fee may be applied to a future session.

I see clients in-person in Frisco, CO and through telehealth in the State of Colorado.

Email me to schedule a 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. You can also select a consultation time here.

I’m located in Frisco, Colorado across the street from Butterhorn Bakery and next to the Next Page Bookstore. My address is:

409 East Main St., Suite 220 E, Frisco, CO 80443.

To start, we will address your goals for therapy, and cover pertinent background information. This will inform how we proceed in our time together.

We will also address consent paperwork and cover risks and protections. This first session will be comprehensive and will have less emphasis on the therapeutic process. Keep in mind that therapy is a process and we will need to establish a cohesive relationship to make the it work for you.

Let’s start with “it depends.” Unless you’ve been mandated to therapy, you are in charge of how long you wish to attend therapy.

I understand the financial and time pressures you are likely to face, so it is not feasible for many people to attend weekly therapy indefinitely. That is also not the point. Therapy is about growth, so indefinite therapy is counterproductive to the principles of therapy.

Initially, I recomend meeting weekly to develop the therapeutic relationship and determine a good path for therapeutic growth. If finances allow, weekly therapy is the most effective option and will take the least amount of time to notice measurable change. If finances do not support weekly therapy, I recommend meeting bi-weekly until you notice measurable change and have met your main goals. Meeting monthly is not conducive to therapeutic change but is useful for “maintenance.”

Please keep in mind that it is my personal goal to help you meet your goals swiftly, and the best way to do that is by being willing to do the hard work early on.

Somatic Experiencing is something I try to infuse into all of my therapeutic work. For SE-focused work there will be a few basic components to frame each session.

Generally, we’ll engage in grounding and orienting initially to support emotional regulation in the present. For some individuals, resourcing practices will be the primary work to help create the ability to self-regulate with greater ease.

Once the system is able to self-regulate, we’ll engage with activating content and work to complete incomplete defensive responses as it relates to traumatic or overly patterned experiences.

Some of these sessions, the movements may be very small, while others we’ll engage in full-body exploration. The magic is that I get to listen to what your system needs to say and support you to say it.
