Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy can help ease emotional pain and support you in building a more connected and fulfilling life. It offers a confidential space where you can be fully seen and heard without judgment — something even the most supportive friends and family may not always be able to provide. Working with a trained professional can deepen your understanding of your struggles, support meaningful healing, and help you build the resilience and confidence to navigate life’s challenges. Therapy can facilitate lasting change, helping you not just to cope, but to truly thrive and flourish. If you’re considering whether therapy might be right for you, I invite you to contact me for a free 20-minute phone consultation — I’d be happy to connect with you.

Online therapy offers a comfortable, convenient way for us to connect, no matter where you are. We will meet through a secure, easy-to-use video platform. Our sessions will be a safe space to talk openly, work through challenges, and build the tools you need to move forward. Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person care, and I’m committed to making sure you feel supported every step of the way. Your privacy is always a priority, and I use HIPAA-compliant technology to keep every session safe and confidential.
While online therapy can be a great option for many, it’s not the right fit for everyone. If you are experiencing a severe crisis or having thoughts of suicide, in-person support from a local therapist or crisis center is the safest and most effective option. Your wellbeing is always my top priority, and if serious concerns arise during our work together, we will have a clear emergency plan to quickly connect you with the local resources you need.

Beginning therapy is a meaningful step toward taking care of yourself, and I’m honored to be part of that journey with you. In our first few sessions, we’ll talk through the challenges that brought you to therapy and work together to clarify your goals. As we move forward, we’ll collaborate to help you reach those goals in a way that feels right and empowering. It’s natural for growth to feel uncomfortable at times, especially as you begin approaching problems in new ways. Staying open and engaged in the process can make all the difference in creating lasting, positive change.

Beginning therapy is an important step toward caring for yourself and creating meaningful, lasting change. My fee is $280 for a 50-minute individual session, reflecting the expertise, training, and dedicated care I bring to each client. Therapy is a commitment, but the insight, healing, and resilience you gain through our work together can support you for a lifetime. Investing in your well-being is a powerful and hopeful act — and I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.

I do not accept insurance. This allows our work to remain completely focused on what’s best for you, rather than what’s dictated by insurance guidelines. Without these limitations, we can engage more fully in the deeper, more personal healing process. However, depending on your insurance plan, you may be eligible for reimbursement for out-of-network psychotherapy services. I’m happy to provide the superbill if you would like to explore that option.

The length of therapy can vary depending on several important factors, including the complexity of the challenges you're facing, the demands of your daily life, how often we meet, and the work you’re able to engage in between sessions. Consistency — such as meeting weekly — can make a meaningful difference in building momentum. Research shows that many people experience significant improvements within 12 to 15 sessions. Some clients feel ready to move forward at that point, while others choose to continue, either due to the complexity of their concerns or because they find ongoing therapy valuable. However long we work together, my focus will always be on helping you reach your goals with care, collaboration, and intention.
