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 (call/text), 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.

Where are you licensed? Can you see me if I'm not in Oklahoma?

I am licensed in Oklahoma and authorized to practice through PsyPact, which allows me to see clients across 44 participating states and districts via telehealth. Click here to see if your state participates.

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?

I have an office in Owasso, Oklahoma, and also conduct telehealth assessments if appropriate. During your initial consultation call, we can determine which setting is right for you.

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 many standardized assessment measures can be administered remotely, with results comparable to those of in-person testing. When certain hands-on or performance-based tasks require in-person attendance, an in-person session can be scheduled. 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, in turn, support more accurate results.

How can I pay for my evaluation?

I am committed to making evaluations as accessible as possible, and it is important you know what options are available to help cover the cost of an evaluation. 1) I will work with you to find a payment arrangement that feels good to you. 2) For those who have out-of-network insurance benefits, I can provide a superbill — a detailed receipt that includes everything your insurance administrator needs to process a claim and receive your contracted reimbursement rate. 3) Psychological evaluations 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. 4) The United Healthcare Children's Foundation offers a medical grant for children 16 and under. Psychological evaluations are covered services, and eligible families can receive up to $5,000 per application and up to $10,000 per year. Click here to learn more. 

What does an evaluation cost?

Comprehensive evaluations are currently self-pay at $2,400. This fee covers the intake, all testing sessions, the cost of assessment measures, an in-depth review and integration of results, a feedback session to review results and discuss next steps, and a comprehensive written report. 

Focused evaluations are currently self-pay at $1,500. This fee covers the intake and testing session, the cost of assessment measures, an in-depth review and integration of results, a feedback session to review results and discuss next steps, and a summarized written report. 

Given the depth of work involved, this reflects a significant investment of time and expertise on both our parts. My goal is for you to walk away with clear answers, a thorough understanding of your results, and practical recommendations you can actually use. 

Do you accept insurance?

I currently offer self-pay evaluations only. I am reviewing options to credential with select insurance providers. This section will be updated as that process moves forward. See different options to help cover the cost above. 

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.
