Insurance 
and other forms of payment
I am an in-network provider for Regence Blue Cross, Blue Shield of Oregon. 

Managed Behavioral Health Organization (MBHO) network and EAP.

I am also able to give you a proof of service receipt if you wish to submit it to your insurance company for reimbursement. Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan.*

If you have insurance and terms  were discussed prior to first session, you will be charged your co-pay only if there is one.

If we have not discussed co-pays and deductibles prior to first session, full fee will be assessed; then I will  bill insurance and you will reimbursed for the amount you paid above your copay after deductible is met (if applicable).


I accept Crime Victim Compensation (CVC) and Various Employee Assistance Programs (EAP).

* Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
  • What is my deductible and has it been met?
  • What is my copay per session?
  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?
  • Do I have mental health insurance benefits that pay out of network?
