Welcome to my Toolbox and Blog
As an AuDHD Therapist, one of my greatest joys is crafting resource lists, tools, and guides for clients and others who benefit from learning more about how to support themselves and others. You will find a variety of content here and are welcome to request content you’d like to see added in the future.
The background photo of this section is from Beyond Wonderland 2023. It depicts a double rainbow captured on June 16, 2023, the night before a tragic mass shooting at an electronic music festival in George, Washington. The shooting resulted in the loss of two lives and had a profound and lasting impact on many other attendees.

What are Out of Network Benefits and What is a SuperBill?
More therapists are choosing not to contract with private insurance so they can keep control of their practice, income, and offer more flexible, out-of-pocket care—like therapy without diagnoses or set session lengths.
Some therapists can give you a superbill: a detailed receipt your insurer needs to file an out-of-network claim and possibly reimburse some or all of the cost of therapy.

Submit Out of Network Claim via Reimbursify
When utilizing Out of Network benefits you’ll likely need to pay your therapist the entire session fee at the time of service, and depending on your specific plan, your insurance company will mail you a check to reimburse a portion of that cost.
For information about how to Learn about your Out of Network Benefits, check out my blog post on this.
Accessing Out of Network Health Insurance Benefits
As we head into the fall, many folks are considering accessing mental health therapy to process life, specific events from the first half of the year, or return to therapy as the season cools and we begin to feel the anxiety that some of us face as the sunlight wanes and the temperature drops.
More therapists than ever are choosing to forgo contracting with Private Insurance Companies in the interest of maintaining more control over their practice, income, and to provide options for out of pocket payment, therapy without needing to offer diagnoses or assessment, or flexibility in quantity or length of therapy sessions.
Some therapists have the option to give you something called a Superbill. This is essentially a fancy receipt with all the information your insurance company will need to file a claim to utilize Out of Network Benefits to get reimbursed for some - or even all - of the expense of therapy.

I’ve been there, I am there.
I want to be there for you.

Covid Recovery Yin Restorative Yoga
In 2021, I recorded a series of Covid Recovery classes and built a small community to share our triumphs, challenges, tips, and tricks for regaining control over our lives, body, and mind as we moved into a new chapter of "normal" and decide what we want as survivors.
Those of us who are continuing to recover and rebuild need community and I offer the recordings crafted with the intention of building community together via movement and breathwork to you.
If you are struggling with Long Covid and are interested in considering adding movement practice into your recovery, check out these classes.
