Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—feeling nervous is completely normal. Starting therapy can bring up all kinds of emotions, especially if you’re not used to opening up to someone new. It’s common to worry about feeling awkward, crying, or not knowing what to say.

The good news is, therapy is a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. You can bring your nervousness into the room—there’s no pressure to be any certain way. Starting therapy takes courage, and it’s okay to begin just as you are.

It’s important that therapy feels like a good match—especially if you tend to keep a lot inside or feel misunderstood. People who enjoy working with me are often thoughtful, emotionally complex, and deeply introspective. They might look calm on the outside but feel overwhelmed underneath it all. Sensitive, perceptive, sometimes self-critical—they’re often craving space to slow down, untangle what they’re carrying, and feel more at ease in their own skin.

If that sounds like you, the next step is to reach out through the contact page to schedule a brief consultation. We’ll talk about what you’re looking for and get a feel for whether working together makes sense. If it seems like a good match, we’ll schedule an initial session. There’s no pressure—just a chance to see how it feels to begin.

Therapy is most effective when it’s consistent and allows space for deep exploration. I meet with clients once per week at a standing appointment time, providing a steady foundation for growth and insight. Some clients, especially during times of transition or emotional intensity, find that a second weekly session offers additional support and deeper momentum in their work.

The rate for a 50-minute session is $225. Therapy is an investment in your growth, self-understanding, and emotional well-being. Our work together is designed to provide lasting insight and meaningful change—not just symptom management, but a deeper understanding of yourself and your patterns. If you’re ready to prioritize this kind of inner work, I’d love to connect.

No, I am considered an Out-of-Network Provider with insurance companies. I can give you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement from your Out-of-Network Benefits.

Many plans offer out-of-network benefits that kick in after an out-of-network deductible is met. To determine your insurance company's reimbursement for out-of-network therapy, you can call and inquire about reimbursement for the code 90837. Also, be sure to ask if you have a deductible to meet before coverage begins.

Yes, many of my clients receive reimbursement for 30- 100% of the therapy session costs through out-of-network benefits by submitting a superbill to their insurance company after meeting their deductible.

Your insurance company will be able to tell you what your out-of-network deductible is and how much they will reimburse you once you meet it. You're also welcome to use your HSA or FSA account.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. I’ll invite you to share a bit about your experiences, what you’re struggling with, and what you’re hoping to gain from this work. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—this is a space where we can begin to make sense of things together.

I’ll also share more about how I work so we can both get a feel for whether this is the right fit. If at any point it doesn’t feel like the right match, I’m happy to offer referrals to help you find a therapist who aligns with your needs. My priority is ensuring you have the support that’s best for you.

Getting started is simple. If you’re feeling curious—or even just wondering if therapy could help—you’re welcome to reach out through the Contact Page to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. You don’t need to have the perfect words or know exactly what to say. This is just a chance for us to connect, talk about what you’re hoping for, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.

If it makes sense to move forward, we’ll schedule your first session. You’re allowed to take your time—there’s no rush, and no expectation that you show up with everything figured out.
