Insurance & Fees

Yes I’m currently in network with Aetna, Medical Mutual, Cigna and Summacare.
You may still have out-of-network benefits, which means your plan will reimburse you for a portion of session costs even though I'm not in-network. I use Thrizer to make that process manageable — you can verify your benefits, upload superbills, and receive reimbursement via direct deposit without navigating insurance portals yourself.

A superbill is an itemized receipt with the diagnostic and billing codes your insurance needs to process an out-of-network claim. If you prefer to handle reimbursement directly with your insurance rather than using Thrizer, I can provide one upon request. Note that insurance reimbursement requires a diagnosis — if you're coming to therapy without a formal diagnosis, we can discuss how that affects your billing options during your consultation.
Yes. I offer both in-person sessions at my office in Independence, OH and telehealth to residents anywhere in Ohio.
Please give at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. I understand that doesn't always happen — life is unpredictable — but advance notice helps me offer that time to someone else.

My practice is specifically built around neurodivergent adults, and that's where my training and clinical focus are concentrated. If you're not sure whether that applies to you, a consultation is a good place to start that conversation.
No. I work with adults across a range of presentations — some have formal diagnoses, some are in the process of getting evaluated, and some are simply navigating experiences that therapy can help with regardless of diagnostic status. If insurance reimbursement is a priority for you, that's worth discussing during consultation since it does require a diagnosis.
That's more common than it should be. Whether it was a poor fit, an approach that didn't account for how your brain works, or something that left you feeling worse rather than better — those experiences are worth taking seriously. I'm happy to talk concretely about how I work before you commit to anything.

There's no set agenda. Sessions are what you need them to be — sometimes that means building skills, sometimes it means processing the messiness of living. You're the guide.
Being neurodivergent myself is an asset, not a talking point. I know what it's like to navigate systems that weren't built for my brain. But lived experience alone doesn't make someone an effective therapist — clinical training, supervision, and skill do. I bring both.
It's distinct — not friendship, but not detached either. I show up as a person and a clinician, because the relationship itself is part of the work. Sometimes I'll share my own process when it's useful, and join you in the muck.
