Fees & Accessibility

I charge $130 for a 55-minute session.

I am credentialed with the following insurance plans in Vermont: Blue Cross Blue Shield, CBA Blue, Medicare Part B, and Medicaid/Green Mountain Care. I am not currently credentialed with any Maine insurance companies, however I may be able to bill your insurance if you have BCBS, CBA Blue, or Medicare Part B.

If you do not have insurance, or if I do not accept your insurance you have the option to pay for sessions out-of-pocket.

It is important to me to provide equitable access to psychotherapy, and to do so I offer a limited number of slots pro-bono or by sliding scale fee from $75-$130.

Sliding scale payments are based on the idea that all people deserve equitable access to care, despite differing ability to afford it. I ask that you use the chart below to consider your current financial situation, as well as your class background, intergenerational wealth, and privilege. Please be mindful that this is based on the idea of “paying it forward” – if you opt for the lower end of the sliding scale when you can afford the middle or full fee, this limits access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility. This approach to economic justice was inspired by Alexis J. Cunningfolk, whose work you can learn more about here. See below for more information on the sliding scale model.

The low end of the scale is for those who:

  • are unable to or struggle to meet basic needs*

  • have little or no expendable income**

  • support dependents (child, parents, or anyone relying on their money)

  • have significant debt that interferes with being able to meet basic needs

  • don’t have savings or investments

  • do not have access to financial support from family/intergenerational wealth

  • have significant chronic illness that impacts ability to earn money

  • have less access to money due to history of abuse

  • are formerly incarcerated

  • have immigration related expenses

  • are unemployed or underemployed

  • are unable to access healthcare

The high end of the scale is for those who:

  • are comfortably able to meet basic needs with ample expendable income

  • have few or no dependents

  • have savings, investments, money, and or/retirement accounts

  • are employed, work part-time by choice, or do not need to work to meet their needs

  • have more possible earning power (even if they aren’t using it now) from: being able-bodied, having a college degree, social networks, family connections, gender, race, etc.

  • own the home they live in or rent in a higher-end property

  • travel recreationally

  • are able to access healthcare or have secure health insurance

  • have access to financial support from family/intergenerational wealth

The middle of the scale is for those who:

  • are able to meet their basic needs and have some expendable income

  • may stress about meeting basic needs but still regularly achieve them

  • may have some debt but it does not prohibit attainment of basic needs

  • own or lease a car

  • are employed

  • have some expendable income

  • can take a vacation annually or every few years without financial burden

  • may have access to financial support from family/intergenerational wealth

*Basic Needs include food, housing, health care, and transportation.


**Expendable Income might mean you are able to buy coffee or tea at a shop, go to the movies or a concert, buy new clothes, books, and similar items each month, etc.
