FAQ

Clinical Autonomy: Operating independently means I am not bound by the rigid productivity quotas or standardized "one-size-fits-all" treatment manuals often required in large agencies. Client-Centered Care: I have the freedom to choose my caseload size, ensuring I can dedicate significant time and deep focus to each person I walk alongside. Integrative Flexibility: This model allows me to seamlessly weave together clinical tools like DBT with holistic practices like Reiki or Essential Oils—modalities that may not always be supported in traditional clinical settings.

Maximum Confidentiality: When you use insurance, I am required to provide a mental health diagnosis that becomes a permanent part of your medical record. Private pay keeps your records strictly between us, offering a higher level of discretion for professionals and individuals. Freedom from Diagnosis: Insurance companies generally only pay for services if you meet the criteria for a "disorder." Private pay allows us to focus on personal growth, stress, and spiritual healing without the pressure of a clinical label. No Session Limits: We—not an insurance adjuster—decide how long and how often we meet. Your progress dictates our timeline, not a corporate policy.

Statewide Access: I am licensed to work with individuals throughout Minnesota. Telehealth allows someone in a rural area or a busy professional in the Twin Cities to access specialized care without the barrier of travel. Safe & Comfortable Environment: Healing often happens best where you feel most secure. Telehealth lets you engage in vulnerable work from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Consistency & Convenience: Virtual sessions eliminate the stress of traffic, parking, or bad weather, making it easier to maintain the regular check-ins that are vital for long-term recovery.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. Transparency First: You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. No Surprises: I will provide your Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your service. You can also ask for an estimate before you schedule an item or service. Your Protection: If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
