What are your rates?

Private pay rates are $200 for an evaluation and $150 for 55 minute treatment sessions. Shorter or longer treatment sessions are available at clinician’s discretion and pricing will be adjusted accordingly.

Do you accept insurance?

At this time, I currently accept Medicare. For insurances other than Medicare, I do not bill your insurance company directly; however, you may be able to seek reimbursement for our services through your out-of-network benefits. I can provide a receipt of services called a “superbill” for out-of-network reimbursement. You should communicate with your insurance company prior to starting treatment to determine out-of-network benefits.

I also am vendored with Redwood Coast Regional Center. If you or your child are an RCRC client, you may be able to receive pediatric feeding services with me. Contact me if you have questions.

Do I need a doctor’s order to work with you?

If you are covered by Medicare, YES!

If you are paying privately, NO!

Do you have an office?

At this time, I only see clients via teletherapy or in-home. If you are seeking reimbursement for services through your insurance, you should verify with your provider whether teletherapy and/or in-home services are covered.

Why should I pay privately for speech therapy?

There are several reasons to consider private-pay speech therapy.

• Flexibility: Insurance often requires a therapist to determine a set frequency of treatments (like 1x/week). With private pay, I can see you 3x a week, once a month, once a quarter - whatever meets your needs!

• Location: Do you want to have your therapy outside? Do you want to practice new skills in a functional setting like the grocery store or a coffee shop? Let’s improve the carryover of your swallowing or communication skills in a natural setting!

• Expertise: Different clinicians have different skillsets. I have over 10 years of experience working with adults and have received the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s ACE award for completing 70+ hours of continuing education within a 3 year cycle (minimum requirement to maintain licensure/certification is 30 hours) I am dedicated to staying on top of research and seek to provide evidence-based interventions, especially in the areas of swallowing and voice.
