Approach: You are the expert on you. Therefore, I partner with you, support you, and gently guide you as you explore and find insights, new perspectives, and next steps. Whether it’s letting go, coping with, or looking ahead, I will be beside you as you journey along. I use Play and Sand-Tray techniques for younger clients who communicate more through their actions than their words. Finally, I use an integrated approach to meet each clients individual needs.
Credentials: I have Master’s degrees in both Psychology and Counseling and am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I work as a Professional School Counselor and am also working toward my Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) credentials. I am currently Provisionally Licensed (PLPC) and receiving clinical supervision from Susan Andree, LPC (Hawthorne Counseling, LLC).
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
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.
- 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.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
