You don’t need to be in crisis or have a clear diagnosis to begin therapy. Many people come to therapy because something feels off. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or repeating patterns that aren’t serving you. If you’re curious about understanding yourself better or want support navigating what you’re dealing with, therapy can be a helpful place to start. It’s also okay to be unsure; the first session is often about seeing how it feels and whether it’s a good fit.

Yes! I offer free 15-minute consultations by phone. These are chance for you to tell me briefly what you are struggling with and for me to answer any questions you might have about beginning therapy and whether we might be a good fit for working together.
If you want to move forward with scheduling an intake session at the end of the consult call, it’s also an opportunity for us to discuss scheduling and logistics. You don’t need to be sure about working with me to schedule a consult!
Please reach out on my contact form (or by email or phone) to schedule your free consultation.

Sessions are typically 45 minutes long, and I usually meet with clients on a weekly basis. It usually works best when we can find a weekly day and time to meet. Therapy works best when it is consistent. As you move forward in treatment with me, we can always tailor session frequency up or down as needed.

At this time I am an out-of-network provider. If you have out-of-network benefits with your insurance, you may be eligible for reimbursement for sessions from your insurance provider. I can provide you with documentation called a Superbill to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
Questions to ask your insurance provider:
When you call your insurance provider, ask these questions:
Do I have out‑of‑network benefits?
If so, what is my out‑of‑network deductible?
How much of my out‑of‑network deductible has been met this year?
Once I have met that deductible, what percentage will be reimbursed for a psychotherapy session?
How much will I be reimbursed for a 45-minute psychotherapy session? (CPT code: 90834 for individual sessions)
