What should a new client know about working with you?

Throughout the therapeutic process one can expect empathetic therapy rooted in cultural understanding and a commitment to your healing. I work purposely towards creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for open sharing. Together, we'll navigate your presented experiences with a focus on your needs and strengths. I provide trauma-informed care using evidence-based approaches for healing. Collaboratively, we'll set goals and develop personalized treatment plans throughout your journey. I'll work towards empower you to explore and process your experiences, while fostering self-compassion and self-care. As an advocate, I'll offer guidance towards the reclamation of your life, while also promoting healing and growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
