Fees & Insurance
Good therapy costs money. Here's everything you need to know.
I'd rather be straight with you about what this costs than make you hunt for it — so here it all is, up front.
Why some people choose to pay privately
A lot of the people I work with could use their insurance. They choose not to. Here's why that often makes sense:
Your care stays between us. Insurance requires a mental health diagnosis to reimburse for therapy — and that diagnosis follows you. It becomes part of your permanent health record and can affect things like life insurance, certain jobs, and more. Private pay means no required diagnosis and no outside party with access to your treatment.
We decide what you need — not your insurance company. Insurance plans limit sessions, dictate treatment formats, and sometimes deny authorization for the kind of deep, sustained work that actually creates lasting change. When you pay privately, your treatment is shaped entirely by you and what you actually need.
You get access to everything I offer. Some of my most effective work — including Couples Intensives using Relational Life Therapy — isn't reimbursable through insurance. Private pay opens up the full range of what we can do together.

A real talk about cost
What happens in therapy tends to compound. The patterns you shift here ripple out into your relationships, your parenting, your work, and the way you move through the world for the rest of your life.
You're not paying for 50 minutes. You're investing in a genuinely different relationship with your grief, your anxiety, or your marriage.
If cost is a real barrier, bring it up in your consultation. There's no awkwardness here around talking about money — and I'd rather have that conversation than have you talk yourself out of getting help you actually need.
Insurance
I currently work with a small number of insurance panels: Healthchoice of Oklahoma, Healthcare Highways, Curative, United Healthcare, UMR, and BlueCross Blue Shield of Oklahoma (specifically the Blue Federal, BCBS Preferred and the BCBS Options plans; all other plans are out of network).
If you'd like to use your insurance benefits, reach out and we'll talk through what that looks like. I typically do not take insurance for couples therapy, as it requires me 'diagnosing' one partner over the other one, when it's typically a system-level issue, not a label problem.
