I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I’m not directly paneled with insurance companies and do not bill insurance directly.
I’ve chosen to 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.
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.

Your session time is held specifically for you, and consistent meetings are an important part of the work.
I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Sessions canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice, as well as missed appointments, are charged the full session fee.

I offer a dynamic and integrative approach to therapy that adapts to each client’s needs and goals.
Some sessions may focus on understanding old narratives, unconscious patterns, or relationship dynamics. Others may be more experiential, body-based, or grounded in what’s emerging in the present moment.
For substance use or compulsive behaviors, I work from a trauma-informed, harm-reduction perspective and draw on motivational interviewing to support meaningful change without shame.
I’m also trained in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and offer psychedelic integration for clients processing spiritual, emotional, or non-ordinary experiences.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to figuring everything out on your own. But you don’t need to know exactly what to say before beginning.
Many people start therapy by naming an emotion that’s easiest to identify, such as anxiety, stress, anger, or depression. Part of our work is slowing down enough to understand what those experiences are connected to, without pressure to explain everything perfectly right away.
Typically, we’ll begin with weekly sessions. Consistency helps us build trust, understand the patterns showing up in your life, and create enough continuity for the work to unfold.
The frequency of sessions is part of our ongoing conversation about what the work calls for. If we reach a point where you’ve met your goals and are moving toward ending therapy, we may gradually reduce the frequency of sessions as part of that process. This gives us space to support the transition, strengthen your ability to carry the work forward, and attend to the experience of separation and goodbye.

There isn’t one fixed point at which therapy is supposed to end. We’ll periodically reflect together on how the work is going, what has changed, and whether there is more you want to explore.
Ending therapy is not simply about whether a symptom has gone away. You may be ready to end therapy when you have developed the ability to recognize your patterns, take appropriate care of yourself, trust your own experience, and navigate relationships with greater awareness. When you can draw on what you’ve developed in therapy without needing the same level of support.
When we’ve reached the goals we set together, and 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.
