  • identity & self esteem

  • shame

  • spirituality

  • relationship challenges

  • anxiety & stress

  • life transitions

  • sports & performance

How would you describe your therapeutic approach?

My approach is grounded, relational, and collaborative. I’m not the “sit silently and nod” type of therapist. I blend CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and strengths-based work. My goal is to help you understand what’s happening internally, get curious instead of judgmental, and make real-life changes at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable.

What are your session rates?

My rates are:

  • Individual therapy: $150 per session

  • Couples therapy: $175 per session

  • Group therapy: $70 per person

Do you take insurance?

I’m a private-pay provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. However, many of my clients use out-of-network benefits through their insurance plan. If your plan allows reimbursement, I can give you a superbill to submit.

How do I know if we’re a good fit?

A strong connection matters. I offer a brief consultation call so we can talk through what you’re looking for, what I can offer, and whether it feels like a match. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll help point you toward someone who might be.

How long are therapy sessions?

Individual and couples sessions are 50 minutes. Group sessions are 90 minutes.

How often will we meet?

Most clients start with weekly sessions. As you make progress, you may shift to bi-weekly or monthly. I’ll work with you to find the right rhythm.

What can I expect in my first session?

Your first session is about getting to know your story. We’ll talk about what brought you in, your current concerns, your history, and what you want to work on. We’ll also collaborate to create goals for therapy, and I’ll answer any questions you have about therapy.

Do you work with teens?

Yes, I see teens ages 18 and up for issues like anxiety, school stress, identity development, and communication struggles.

Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?

I offer a limited number of evening sessions. I don’t currently offer weekend appointments.

How do I get started?

The process is simple:

  1. Reach out to schedule a consultation or appointment

  2. Complete your intake paperwork

  3. Come in for your first session—either in-person or virtual

What is your cancellation policy?

I ask for 48 hours’ notice for cancellations. Late cancellations will incur a fee.

Do you offer speaking, workshops, or training?

Yes. I offer speaking engagements and workshops for workplaces, churches, schools, and community groups. Topics often include mental health at work, stress management, communication, emotional intelligence, and building healthier team cultures. If you’re interested, reach out and we can talk through details.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. Everything we talk about is confidential except in a few legally required situations related to safety. I’ll walk you through those details during your intake.

How long does therapy usually last?

It varies. Some people come in for a few months to work on a specific issue; others prefer longer-term support. We’ll regularly check in on your progress and goals.

What ages do you work with?

I work with teens (18+) and adults of all ages.

What makes your practice different?

Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, grounded presence, my sense of humor, and the fact that therapy feels like a real conversation—not a lecture or a clinical checklist. I keep my caseload small so I can be fully present and responsive to each person I work with.
