Resource & FAQ

Our first session is mostly about getting to know each other. I’ll ask some questions to understand what’s been going on and what’s bringing you in, but there’s no pressure to share everything right away. You can go at your own pace. We'll also talk about what you're hoping to get out of therapy, and I’ll walk you through how I work. It’s completely okay to come in feeling nervous or unsure, my job is to help you feel a little more grounded and supported from the very beginning.

It really depends on what you’re coming in for and what you want from the process. Some people come for a few months to work through something specific. Others stay longer because they find the space helpful for deeper healing or ongoing support. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but we’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy is feeling helpful and aligned with your goals.

I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. However, I can provide a monthly receipt (called a superbill) that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Some clients are able to get a portion of their sessions covered this way, depending on their plan. I’m happy to walk you through how that works.

If you’re asking the question, chances are therapy could be helpful. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit, therapy is for anyone who wants more support, more clarity, or more ease in their life. If something in your life feels off, stuck, or painful, therapy can be a space to explore that with care and without judgment.

I work with adults and couples who are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, or a general sense of disconnection, from others or themselves. I also support people who’ve grown up in difficult family systems or who’ve had experiences that still impact their nervous system or relationships today.

I blend relational, attachment-focused work with evidence-based modalities like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and trauma-informed care. That means I pay attention not just to what’s happening now, but to the emotional patterns underneath it. I work collaboratively, you’ll never feel like I’m just nodding or “mm-hmming” through your session. I’ll be right there with you, asking questions, offering insight, and holding a steady space for your growth.

I hear that more often than you might think. If you’ve had a therapy experience that felt unhelpful, invalidating, or even harmful, I’m really sorry that happened. It’s okay to bring that into our work together. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe for you. You won’t be expected to trust me right away, I’ll earn it over time, and you get to decide what works for you.
