While I specialize in treating eating disorders, my practice is not limited to this area. Many of my clients come to therapy for other concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or navigating life transitions. My focus is on understanding the deeper patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others—whether or not food or body image is part of the picture.
My fee is $230 per session. Sessions are 45 minutes in length. Payment is processed at the time of service. I have a limited number of slots reserved for a sliding scale fee.
I’m out of network with all insurance companies. If you have out-of-network mental benefits, I can provide you a monthly superbill to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. A superbill is essentially a detailed receipt that includes the medical codes your insurance company needs to process a claim.
Both in-person and virtual sessions can offer deep, meaningful connection—it’s more about what feels right for you. In-person therapy can provide a grounding sense of shared space and presence, which some people find especially supportive. Virtual therapy offers flexibility and comfort, allowing you to engage from your own environment and make therapy more accessible in your daily life. What truly matters is the relationship we build and the work we do together, not the format we use to meet.
If you’d like to explore working together, the best place to start is by reaching out through my contact form, email, or phone. From there, we can schedule a brief call to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, answer any questions you might have, and see whether it feels like a good fit to schedule an initial session.
