Yes, I am currently accepting new clients. Contact me to schedule a free consultation to determine if we will be a good fit.

Yes. I meet with clients in-person at an office in Changes Counseling and Wellness Center in Woodbury, Minnesota; I also provide telehealth therapy to residents anywhere within Minnesota state lines.

I typically work with individual adults, ages +18.

I am currently practicing at Changes Counseling and Wellness Center in Woodbury, MN: 1818 Wooddale Drive, Woodbury, MN 55125.

My current office schedule is:

Monday 8 am - 4:30 pm
Tuesday 8 am - 2:30 pm
Wednesday 8 am - 4:30 pm
Thursday 8 am - 4:30 pm
Friday 8 am - 2:30 pm

I pride myself on the customer service aspect of my role, and try to return voicemails, emails, and texts within 24 hours. That translates to office hours, of course; Friday contacts can expect a return contact on the following Monday.

Yes. I am credentialed with most major insurances in Minnesota:

• Blue Cross

• Blue Shield

• BlueCross and BlueShield

• HealthPartners of MN and WI

• Medica

• Medical Assistance

• Optum

• UCare

• UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH

I cannot give you advice on the specifics on your insurance plan, but I would encourage you to contact your insurance provider to obtain specifics (copay, deductible, high deductible, etc.) and to ask if Changes Counseling and Wellness Center is in-network for your plan.

The clinic I contract with does not accept Medicare, so I cannot accept Medicare at the current time.

I accept most major insurances. Outside of insurance, I charge $120 per session (55-60 minutes) and $175 for 90-minute Internal Family Systems sessions.

We will begin to get to know each other. I will ask you a variety of questions; I initially use a holistic approach to get a broad sense of who you are, what your experiences have been, and what difficulties you might be facing. I’ve streamlined my intakes and usually complete them during the first session, which is great, because it helps us to get to your therapy more quickly.

Good question. Sometimes individuals engage in therapy for a short period of time, experience relief, and feel ready to tackle the challenges that life throws at them. Sometimes individuals prefer to engage in long-term and deeper therapeutic work. The good thing about this question is that the answer is totally up to you! I would be glad to discuss what might be of the most benefit when we meet.

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals that are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

• 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
