Some Questions before we begin:
Taking the first step toward therapy is brave, and it brings you closer to the life you want and deserve. Doing the work of therapy asks for dedication, commitment, and honesty with yourself, it's not a decision to make lightly and it’s natural to have questions along the way. You should have real answers to help you decide what’s right for you.
The questions below won't cover everything — much of what you're wondering will be personal, shaped by your own story and circumstances, and there isn't a single answer that fits everyone. For anything that feels more specific to you, I'd love to hear from you directly. Email me and I'll do my best to answer.

Deciding to enter therapy takes courage and strength. I work from the belief that everyone is a whole, capable person — and that all of us need support sometimes. If you're navigating past or present challenges, we can work together to move through what's unresolved, restore balance, and open up new possibilities in your life.
Therapy doesn't require a crisis or a trauma history to be right for you. It's a place to heal from difficult experiences, and just as often, a space for ongoing support as you navigate the complexity of being human in today's world. I welcome people from all walks of life.

A consultation gives me the chance to understand your needs and what you're hoping to achieve, and gives you the chance to get a feel for me and how I work as a therapist. It's a low-pressure first step — a conversation to see if we're a good fit before committing to ongoing work together.

Individual sessions run 50-60 minutes, with a 10-minute buffer built in for anything that comes up right at the end and needs a little more time. Couples sessions run longer — typically 70-90 minutes, depending on what's needed that day.

Currently I offer Zoom and phone therapy sessions. Holding virtual sessions has proven to :
-Help clients who are juggling a lot and have a hard time getting to an office for therapy
-Help clients who have a lot of anxiety and find it difficult to leave their homes
-Allow clients to be in the comfort of their own home, which can help create more safety and security
I will also be offering in person sessions in the near future for those who prefer this type of therapeutic holding.

I don't take insurance directly, but I do offer superbills that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Several of my clients use this route, with their insurance company reimbursing them for sessions on a monthly basis. Every plan is different, so I'd recommend checking with your insurance company directly to see whether they offer reimbursement for out-of-network therapy.
-
I require at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a session, by phone, text, or email. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notice, will be charged the full session fee. This fee is not billable to insurance and is the client's responsibility.
