I specialize in Evidence-Based Practice in Psychology, which means that your individual psychotherapy is based on the best available research and clinical expertise, your unique experiences, your diverse cultural background, and your individual preferences.
Individual Psychotherapy sessions will generally occur once per week or on a mutually agreed schedule based on your treatment needs.

The average length of assessment varies based on the specific type of surgery and the needs of your surgical team.
Pre-surgical psychological evaluations are available for:
Bariatric-metabolic surgery
Spinal cord stimulators
Spine surgery and other pain surgical procedures

FEES & INSURANCE
Self-Pay
If you have high-deductible health insurance, are uninsured, or don’t want an insurance company making decisions about your treatment, then self-pay is a great option for you. Many people pay directly for their care and find that this is a better fit than conventional health insurance.
Be sure to use your flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), or health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). The cost of seeing a psychologist is eligible for reimbursement.
Insurance
I am an out-of-network provider and I do not participate on any insurance panels.
Many insurance companies provide out-of-network benefits. You may be able to use your benefits to reimburse a significant portion of the cost of treatment.
If you are considering using your insurance, please book a free consultation, send me a message, or call me at 813-591-3794 to learn how the four steps below may cover a significant portion of the cost of treatment.
Step 1: Contact your Insurance Company.
Every insurance plan is different, some plans may contain exclusions, and some plans may require pre-authorization.
Step 2: Pay for each individual session out-of-pocket on the day the service is provided.
I will provide you with a Superbill, which is an itemized form or receipt used by healthcare providers to document rendered services.
Be sure to use your flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), or health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). The cost of seeing a psychologist is eligible for reimbursement.
You will accept reimbursement directly from your insurance company.
Step 3: Submit your Superbill directly to your insurance company.
Your insurance company may request minor changes to the Superbill and I am happy to accommodate these minor requests.
Step 4: Make copies and track all of your claims.
Generally speaking, all claims are usually paid or denied within 30 days of submission.
