Before We Begin
A few things you may be wondering about therapy, our work together, and what to expect
Insurance & Cost
I do not accept health insurance.
I value having the freedom to provide care based on your individual needs rather than an insurance company’s definition of what is “medically necessary.” Working outside of insurance allows our work to remain private and gives us greater flexibility in determining the pace, focus, and approach of your therapy.
If you have out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be able to receive reimbursement for up to 80% of your sessions. I’m happy to provide you with a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance company and I work with Thrizer to make this process simpler for you.
Therapy Investment
Choosing private-pay therapy is an investment in having a therapeutic relationship that is centered entirely around you, not your insurance company. Therapy is an investment of time, energy and money and I take that seriously when working with you, I want you to get the most out of our time together.
My fee is $200 for a 50 minute session. Sessions occur weekly, bi weekly, and monthly depending on your needs and goals. FSA and HSA payments are gladly accepted.
My fee is based on10 years in the field and continued education, training and inspiration to bring you a thoughtful, well rounded, evidenced based approach to growth and change.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and the frequency and length of our work together will be tailored to your needs and goals. Most clients begin with weekly sessions to create consistency, build our therapeutic relationship, and establish momentum in the work. Over time, we may adjust the frequency as your needs change.
Some clients benefit from shorter-term, focused work, while others choose to stay in therapy for a longer period. There is no predetermined timeline for healing. We’ll regularly check in together about your progress and what feels most supportive for you.
-
Therapy is a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. Together we’ll create space for you to better understand yourself with compassion rather than judgment.
Our work may include talking through what’s happening in your life, exploring patterns and relationships, connecting with your body and emotions, and gently getting to know the parts of you that have learned to protect you. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), relational, and somatic approaches to help you develop a deeper sense of self-trust, safety, and connection.
You don’t need to know exactly what to say or where to begin. We’ll meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable.

That’s really up to you! When possible, I love to meet in person for at least the first few sessions, as I find that establishing a connection face-to-face can be really valuable. That said, I honor what works best for you and your needs.
Virtual sessions are a wonderful option if you’re not nearby, have a busy schedule, or simply feel more comfortable meeting from home. I also work with coaching clients who live in other states entirely, making virtual work a great way to connect wherever you are.
-
I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale.
My approach is warm, deeply relational, and rooted in the belief that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with you. Rather than simply focusing on symptoms or trying to “fix” what isn’t working, we’ll get curious about the parts of you that developed certain patterns, behaviors, and ways of coping and begin to understand what they may be trying to protect.
I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic, relational, and trauma-informed approaches to create therapy that goes beyond insight alone. We’ll work toward helping you feel more connected to yourself, your body, your relationships, and the life you want to create.
You don’t have to become a different person to heal. My goal is to help you come home to yourself.
