Frequently asked questions

Have a question that isn't answered here? Reach out directly — I'm happy to help.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. You can reach out by phone, email, or by completing the Google form on the Contact page. From there, we'll connect to talk through your needs and next steps.

Do I need a referral?

A referral is only required if indicated by your insurance. Otherwise, you are welcome to reach out directly to get started.

What ages do you work with?

I see individuals across the lifespan — from young children to adults. Many families are told to "wait and see" by other providers, but early detection means early intervention and support. If you have concerns, it is never too soon to seek answers.

How long does the evaluation process take?

The process typically unfolds over several weeks. The intake is the first appointment, with testing scheduled within a week of the intake. Feedback of results generally takes place a few weeks after testing, followed by a full written report approximately four weeks after the feedback session. Timelines can vary depending on the complexity of your evaluation.

Where do you practice?

My practice is primarily telehealth. In some cases, an in-person session may be scheduled to complete certain assessment measures that require physical presence. In-person sessions are held in Tulsa, OK.

Is telehealth as reliable as in-person testing?

Research increasingly supports telehealth as a valid and reliable format for psychological evaluation. Studies have found that the majority of standardized assessment measures can be administered remotely with results comparable to in-person testing. Where certain hands-on or performance-based tasks require physical presence, a brief in-person session can be scheduled — which is exactly how my practice is structured. Telehealth also removes significant barriers to access, allowing individuals to participate in a thorough evaluation from the comfort and familiarity of their own environment, which can itself support more accurate results.

What does an evaluation cost?

Evaluations are currently self-pay at $2,400. This fee covers the intake, all testing sessions, the cost of assessment measures, the in-depth review and integration of results, a comprehensive written report, and a feedback session to review results and discuss next steps. Given the depth of work involved, this reflects a significant investment of time and expertise on both our parts. Please note that payment plans are available. I am committed to making evaluations as accessible as possible and will work with you to find a payment arrangement that fits your situation. Please reach out to discuss options. I am also working on finding grants to help reduce financial barriers. 

Do you accept insurance?

I am currently in the process of credentialing with select insurance providers, including Oklahoma SoonerCare. This section will be updated as that process moves forward. Upon request, I can provide a superbill — a detailed receipt that includes everything your insurance administrator needs to process a claim for clients with out-of-network benefits. 

Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for an evaluation? 

In most cases, yes. As a licensed healthcare provider, psychological evaluation services typically qualify as an eligible expense under Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plans. In many cases, you can pay directly using your HSA or FSA debit card. If your card isn't accepted directly, you can pay out of pocket and submit an itemized receipt to your plan administrator for reimbursement. 

What is the difference between self-pay and insurance evaluations?

Paying out of pocket for an evaluation gives you something insurance often can't — control over your own process. Without insurance involvement, there's no requirement to assign a diagnosis, no pre-authorization hurdles, and no restrictions on the scope or depth of the evaluation. The process is shaped entirely by what you need to know, not by what a payer will cover. For many people, that freedom, and the privacy that comes with it, is worth a great deal.
