What should a new client know about working with you?

Together, we’ll work to identify patterns that no longer serve you and create practical steps toward growth, healing, and self-acceptance.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I understand that reaching out for help can be daunting. You may feel hesitant, unsure if therapy is the right fit or if anyone will truly understand what you're going through. My goal is to offer a space where you feel heard and supported, where we work together at your pace. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $250 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $200 for 60 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork

More information on payments and coverage

Don't let finances get in the way of reaching out. I am available to answer any questions, make therapy affordable, and help navigate insurance benefits.

The provider did not contact me. I had to call the office. They then informed me that my insurance is not accepted. They should have contacted me to let me know this ahead of time because it wasted both our times.
