What is Therapy?
Therapy offers a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. While the support of friends and family is invaluable, talking with a trained professional can provide a different perspective and help you navigate life's challenges.
Because every person is unique, the approach and length of therapy will be tailored to your individual needs and goals.
How Do You find THE RIGHT therapist?
Finding the right therapist is like building any meaningful relationship—you want someone you feel comfortable with and trust. Not every therapist will be the right fit, and that's okay. After the first few sessions, you'll often have a sense of whether the relationship feels supportive.
Therapy can be challenging, so it's important to work with someone who is experienced, compassionate, and a good match for your needs. I invite you to explore my clinical experience and therapeutic approach to see if I may be the right fit for you.
Understanding Therapist Credentials
There are several types of licensed mental health professionals, including Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), and psychologists (PsyD or PhD). All are qualified to provide psychotherapy, though their education and training differ.
In addition to licensure, many therapists pursue specialized training. I am trained/certified in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy. They are evidence-based approaches that support healing and recovery.
What Should you expect?
It is common to feel nervous before your first therapy session. After all, you are meeting someone new and discussing personal aspects of your life. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can feel comfortable sharing at your own pace.
Therapy is most effective when it is an active, collaborative process. Before each session, it can be helpful to reflect on what you would like to discuss and the goals you hope to achieve. While feeling heard and supported is an important part of therapy, lasting change comes from developing insight and applying it to your life.

Individual Therapy (50 minutes) - $200
Please note that I do not provide psychological testing or evaluations for the purpose of written reports.
Insurance
I am not currently in-network with insurance providers. If you have a PPO plan, you may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement and can choose any provider, including myself.
Full payment is due at each session. A monthly superbill will be provided for you to submit directly to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Health Savings Accounts (HSA) may also be used for payment, if available.
Cancellation, Rescheduling, and Late ARrival Policy
A 24-hour cancellation policy is in effect. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a fee of $200, which is not covered by insurance. The first late cancellation fee may be waived as a courtesy.
If you arrive late, your session will be held for the remaining time, and the full session fee will still apply.
