What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I aim to create a space where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences and develop practical skills for lasting change. Together, we work on building self-trust, setting healthy boundaries, and fostering resilience so that you can move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We’ll explore your goals and what you’d like to see change in your life, while making sure you feel heard and supported. From there, we’ll work together each session using a mix of insight-building and practical tools, like EMDR, DBT, and inner child work, depending on your needs. We’ll regularly check in on your progress and make adjustments along the way to ensure that therapy moves at a pace that feels right for you.

In-network insurances

More information on payments and coverage

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance companies directly. However, I can provide a superbill, a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network benefits. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to learn more about your coverage and how to use a superbill.
