No. I work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, life transitions, and feeling stuck or disconnected. My approach focuses on understanding the deeper patterns shaping your inner world and relationships so that new possibilities for relief, clarity, and change can begin to emerge.
My fee is $215 per session. Sessions are 45 minutes in length. I understand that therapy is an investment, and I strive to keep some spaces available at a lower-fee sliding scale. Please let me know if cost is a concern so we can explore a fee arrangement that aligns with your needs and helps ensure therapy remains an accessible and supportive process.
I’m out of network with all insurance companies.
Many of my clients use PPO plans with out-of-network benefits, and I provide a monthly superbill for possible reimbursement. A superbill is documentation similar to a receipt that also includes medical codes your insurance carrier will need to process the claim. Please speak with your carrier to learn what mental health benefits they offer and what your deductible will be.
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’re interested in starting therapy, reach out to schedule a brief consultation call. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, you can ask questions, and see if we feel like a good fit. Prior to our first session, you’ll complete intake paperwork through a secure online portal so we can make the most of our time together.
