I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I’m not directly paneled with insurance companies and do not bill insurance directly.
I practice this way because I believe the direction, pace, and depth of therapy should be guided by the therapeutic work itself—not by an insurance company’s criteria for what is considered medically necessary or reimbursable. Our healthcare system is largely structured around identifying and treating illness, with little room for the ongoing work of cultivating wellness, self-understanding, and a more meaningful relationship with ourselves and others.
Working outside of insurance gives us greater clinical freedom to tailor therapy to you and to make room for the deeper work of understanding patterns, relationships, identity, and the transitions you may be moving through.
If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement for a portion of your sessions. I’m happy to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. Because plans vary, I recommend contacting your insurer directly to understand your out-of-network benefits before beginning therapy.

Consistent meetings are an important part of our work together. Meeting regularly helps build momentum, allowing us to deepen our work and make meaningful progress over time. I encourage you to be thoughtful about how you plan for therapy and to treat this time as an important investment in yourself.
Because your session time is reserved just for you, I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. I understand that illness and emergencies come up, and I try to be flexible about rescheduling whenever possible within my schedule. Cancellations or missed appointments with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged the full session fee.

I offer a dynamic, integrative approach to therapy that adapts to each person’s needs and goals.
Some people come to therapy needing space to express stress and feel heard. Some want to change something in their lives but aren’t sure how. Others want to develop a better inner map—to understand themselves, recognize patterns, and make sense of their experiences. There is room for all of it. I often say that first we assess what you need, and then we work together to meet that need.
I approach symptoms with curiosity, as possible messages about something deeper that needs attention. Therapy becomes a journey of discovery we take together. Some of what emerges may feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable, but I prioritize creating a space where you feel safe enough to explore. We move at a pace that feels right for you.
Our sessions may focus on understanding old narratives, unconscious patterns, or relationship dynamics. At other times, the work may be more experiential, body-based, or grounded in what is emerging in the present moment.
I’m trauma-informed and practice from a harm-reduction perspective. Motivational interviewing is central to my approach: rather than prescribing what change should look like, I work to draw out your own wisdom, values, and motivations to help you find a path toward change that feels true to you and can be sustained beyond our work together. This means making room to slow down, listen inward, and discover what you know to be true for yourself.
I’m trained in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and offer psychedelic integration for clients interested in exploring non-ordinary experiences and how these experiences might open pathways toward healing.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve learned to rely on yourself, keep your feelings to yourself, or focus on what needs to get done rather than what’s happening inside you. Many of us absorb the message that we should be able to figure things out on our own, know ourselves already, or simply push through when things get hard. It can feel strange, or even silly, to ask for help understanding ourselves. But we aren't meant to do, and in fact we cannot, do it alone. We come to know ourselves through our relationships with others. Therapy offers a relationship with a trained professional who can help you better understand yourself and grow more fully into who you are.
Typically, we’ll begin with weekly sessions. Consistency helps us build trust, deepen self-awareness, and create momentum toward the life you want to be living.
The frequency of sessions is something we revisit together as the work evolves. As you make progress toward your goals, we may gradually space out sessions to give you time to integrate what you’ve learned and practice carrying the work into your life. As we move toward ending therapy, this also gives us space to support the transition and attend to the experience of separation and goodbye.

Therapy ends when you’ve made meaningful progress toward your goals and feel better equipped to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease, self-awareness, and trust in yourself. Because everyone comes to therapy with different needs, there isn’t one fixed timeline for ending.
We’ll periodically reflect together on how the work is going, what has changed, and whether there is more you want to explore. When the work feels ready to move toward an ending, we’ll make space for that process rather than ending abruptly. We may gradually reduce the frequency of sessions, giving us time to reflect on the work, strengthen your ability to carry it forward, and attend to the feelings that can arise around separation and goodbye.
Sometimes therapy reaches a natural ending. And sometimes life brings you back to therapy at another point. Returning doesn’t mean the earlier work was unsuccessful; different chapters of life can bring different questions, challenges, and opportunities for growth.
