Choose care with intention.

My fee is $175 per ~50-minute session, and I practice as an out-of-network provider. This means I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a detailed receipt (often called a superbill) that you may submit to your insurance company. Depending on your health plan, you may receive reimbursement for part of the cost. I encourage clients to check with their insurance provider about deductible requirements, out-of-network mental health benefits, and reimbursement timelines. Payment is collected at each session, and I accept common forms such as credit card or Health Savings Account (HSA) / Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards.

The first session is a time for me to understand your story and for you to ask questions about the process. I will invite you to share what has been bringing you stress, what changes you would like to see, and what strengths you already have. We will also review logistics like confidentiality, scheduling, and fees so that everything feels transparent and clear. This session is less about immediate problem-solving and more about building a foundation of trust and safety. Many clients leave their first meeting feeling lighter simply because they have spoken their story out loud in a safe, nonjudgmental space.

Most people begin with weekly sessions to establish consistency and build momentum. Over time, we may shift to biweekly (every two weeks) or monthly as you feel more confident applying skills outside of therapy. The length of therapy varies: some clients come for a few months to work through a specific issue, while others stay longer to explore deeper life patterns or ongoing support. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach—you set the pace, and we adapt it as your needs evolve. Our goal is to create a rhythm that feels supportive but not overwhelming.

Because each appointment time is reserved specifically for you, I ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Missed appointments or late cancellations may result in being charged the full session fee. This policy allows me to honor the time set aside for you while also making space available to others who may need care. Of course, life happens—emergencies and sudden events are treated with understanding and compassion, and we will always discuss exceptions if needed.

Yes, I offer Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant telehealth sessions when clinically appropriate. Virtual sessions can make therapy more accessible by removing barriers such as travel time, mobility challenges, or busy schedules. Many clients appreciate the ability to meet from their own home or private office, especially if it helps reduce anxiety about getting to appointments. Whether we meet virtually or in person, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported. We will talk together about what format feels most comfortable and sustainable for you.

Telehealth is simple to access—all you need is a stable internet connection, a quiet and private space, and a device with video and audio capability (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone). I use a secure, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant platform to protect your confidentiality. You will receive a link prior to each session; there is no complicated software to install. If you are unfamiliar with online sessions, I am happy to guide you through setup so you feel fully at ease before we begin.

Teletherapy has been shown by research to be equally effective as in-person therapy for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship issues. For some people, being at home allows them to feel more comfortable opening up. Others find the structure of in-person meetings more grounding. Both formats have unique benefits, and you do not have to choose just one—you can adjust as your needs change. The important thing is that the work feels meaningful and supportive for you, whether we connect online or face-to-face.

Confidentiality is one of the most important aspects of therapy and essential to building trust. What you share in sessions will remain private, with very few legal exceptions (such as imminent risk of harm to self or others, or mandated reporting laws in cases of abuse). We will go over these limits clearly in the first session so there are no surprises. Confidentiality gives you the freedom to explore sensitive thoughts, feelings, and memories without fear of judgment or exposure, allowing you to be fully open and honest in the work we do together.

Yes, therapy and medication can complement one another. Many clients find that while medication can help regulate mood or reduce symptoms, therapy provides the skills, insights, and strategies needed for long-term change. With your permission, I can collaborate with your psychiatrist, primary care physician (PCP), or other healthcare providers to ensure we are working together toward your goals. Whether you choose to use medication or not, therapy offers a consistent space to process your experiences, develop coping strategies, and create lasting improvements in your well-being.

Psychotherapy, sometimes called “talk therapy,” is a safe, confidential space where we work together to understand your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It is different from talking to a friend or loved one because it is grounded in evidence-based methods and guided by clinical expertise. Therapy gives you room to explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, make sense of past experiences, and practice new ways of coping in the present. Over time, this process can help you reduce distress, strengthen relationships, and connect more deeply to what matters most in your life. Psychotherapy is not about “fixing” you—it is about empowering you to discover insight, healing, and growth in a supportive partnership.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes in therapy. You will know we are a good match if you feel comfortable, safe, and respected in our conversations. In the first few sessions, you will get a sense of my style—how I listen, reflect, and respond to your concerns—and whether it feels supportive. It is normal to take time to build trust, and I welcome open dialogue about how the process feels for you. If at any point you feel another therapist may be a better fit, I will support you in finding the right provider, because your comfort and growth are the priority.

Signs that therapy is helping can show up in small but meaningful ways: you may notice yourself handling stress differently, feeling more hopeful, or communicating with others more effectively. Sometimes the changes are subtle at first, like a shift in perspective or the ability to pause before reacting. Progress can be gradual and nonlinear, with ups and downs along the way, but over time the overall trend should be toward greater resilience, self-understanding, and relief from distress. We will review your goals regularly to ensure therapy is meeting your needs, and we will adjust course if necessary.

Getting started is simple: you can reach out via the contact form, by phone, or email to set up a consultation. I offer a brief introductory call where you can share your concerns, ask questions, and decide if this feels like the right fit. If we decide to move forward, we will schedule an intake session where we begin exploring your story in more detail. Taking that first step into therapy can feel intimidating, but it is also an act of courage and self-compassion. You do not have to carry your struggles alone—together, we can build a path toward relief, clarity, and hope.
