don’t always fit the mold?

Many people suffer when they are trying to fit a mold rather than find the fit that is right for them.

​I work with individuals, partners, and families who are dealing with stress, identity, communication challenges, and the pressure to function in systems that don’t always support how they think, feel, or experience the world.

​MYEXPERIENCE 

I have 25+ years experience supporting autistic individuals and their family members across support needs—including those who may not feel represented in typical therapy spaces.

 

My therapeutic experience comes from my work with autistic and non-autistic individuals navigating relationships, school and work challenges, and identity development.

​

I also work with:

  • Individuals navigating anxiety, depression, executive functioning challenges, sensory differences, and burnout

  • People inhabiting Queer, Trans, and Non-binary identities

  • Family members, partners, and caregivers 

Good Faith Estimate

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who 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.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost

Under the law, health care providers need to provide clients 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.
