Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you accept Insurance?
Yes. I am currently in-network with Blue Cross/Blue Shield, United Health Care (Oscar), Optum, Wellpoint/Carelon (IA Medicaid and Marketplace), Iowa Total Care (IA Medicaid), Ambetter (Marketplace), and Aetna.
I don’t have insurance or have a high deductible plan with minimal coverage, can I still access services?
Yes, part of ethical practice is ensuring quality mental health services are accessible. I offer private pay rates and a sliding scale fee, for those with financial need. Please reach out to discuss options.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. Secure telehealth services are available to clients located in Iowa, Missouri, and Florida. In person sessions are available in my office in West Des Moines, IA.
What ages do you work with?
I work with children who are 6 and up, as well as teens, young adults, parents, and families. Having extensive experience working with children helps me support those who are parenting or managing their own childhood experiences/attachment, no matter the age.
How long are sessions?
Most sessions run between 45 and 55 minutes but can be flexible based on availability and need.
Do I have to be Christian to work with you?
No. I welcome clients from all faith backgrounds and those with no religious affiliation. Faith integration is always optional and based on each client’s preferences. Evidence-based modalities are utilized no matter the background.
