The process begins with a 20-minute free video consultation where we'll discuss what you're looking for and see if we're a good fit. If we decide to move forward, we'll schedule a comprehensive 90-minute intake session where we'll dive deeper into your history and goals. After that, we'll begin weekly 45-minute therapy sessions.

That's completely normal! During our free consultation, I'll explain exactly how therapy works and answer any questions. There's no pressure—it's just a chance for us to talk and see if working together feels right. Many of my clients had no idea what to expect when they first reached out.

I work with clients aged fourteen and up, including teenagers, college students, and adults.

Seeing your child suffer is hard. With that in mind, I believe no one should be forced into therapy unless they're at serious risk of harm to themselves (or others). Clinically, it's important that teenagers feel a sense of agency over the process—we don't want them developing resentment against therapy that could prevent them from seeking help as adults. That said, teenagers often resist therapy initially—but end up finding it helpful. I've found that teens who either explicitly ask for therapy or openly express their struggles ("I'm so depressed," "I can't handle this anymore") may be good candidates for therapy. If your teen is unsure, I recommend they attend the consultation alone and commit to trying at least 6 sessions before deciding if we're a good fit. This gives them ownership over the process and ensures they give therapy a fair chance. If they refuse, I also support parents navigating teenagers who are depressed, anxious, or neurodivergent address how challenging parenting can be—and offer specific, tailor communication coaching that may help your teen indirectly.

Yes. I have experience collaborating with professionals as part of an interdisciplinary team in a HIPAA compliant, confidential manner, and take pride in how thorough I am when I get to help a patient by collaborating with other providers who are serving them. I will touch base with your provider proactively to best support your goals.

Yes. Because these additional services require my time and energy, they are billable at my hourly rate.

I’m a warm, patient, and relational clinician, which means I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship with you. Research consistently shows that the therapeutic alliance—the connection between client and therapist—is one of the most important factors in successful therapy. I regularly check in about what's working and adapt my approach to meet your specific needs. I'm trained in several evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and humanistic approaches. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method, I draw from these different techniques to create a personalized approach that feels right for you.

My approach is rooted in a simple idea: the mind-body dichotomy is incorrect. I believe stress is a psychophysical phenomenon. It affects everything: Our sleep, energy, relationships, and overall well-being—and is not necessarily bad for us, if managed appropriately. As part of our work together, should you request it, I can help you understand your overall health and wellness goals and design a comprehensive program including fitness, nutrition, and sleep protocols. While I practice within the scope of psychotherapy (I'm not a licensed physician or dietitian), I can help you create sustainable habits that support your mental health from what I have learned as a science nerd, a disabled athlete, and a meditator.

Research suggests that the most effective approach is meeting once per week at minimum. We'll start with weekly sessions so that I can serve you best, and once you’re making solid progress, established clients may transition to every other week after six months if appropriate.

This varies greatly from person to person and depends on what you want to work on. Some people feel noticeably better after a few months, while others find ongoing therapy helpful for continued growth. We'll check in regularly about your progress and goals.

Therapy is an investment in your long term well being. Our 90-minute intake is very in-depth, and costs $275. Weekly therapy sessions take 45 minutes and are $150 per session.

We don't take insurance directly, but I can provide you with superbills (detailed receipts) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. The amount varies by plan, so you'd need to call the number on the back of your insurance card to check about out-of-network benefits.

I am afraid that I cannot accommodate sliding scale pricing at this time. If you are under financial strain, I would be happy to help you find a clinician who may offer that.

I ask for a minimum of 48 hours' notice if you need to reschedule or cancel. If we can't find another time that week, the week before, or the week after, you're still responsible for the full session fee. However, everyone gets one free annual cancellation. You're never responsible for sessions I cancel. We also have a consistency policy where we meet four times per month—you get a designated time slot that's yours. If you're sick or on vacation, we can meet twice the week before or twice when you return. Consistency helps ensure that you are meeting your goals effectively and . . . well, consistently.

Nothing needs to be 'wrong' for you to seek therapy. While some people come to therapy to address specific concerns—like managing workplace stress or relationship challenges—others simply want the support of a trusted, objective guide to help them live more fulfilling lives. Some people even come specifically for coaching around how to communicate better. You don't need to diagnose yourself or arrive with perfect words for what you're experiencing. Some people know exactly what they want to work on, while others simply sense that something feels off but can't quite articulate it. All of these reasons are equally valid—that's precisely what our first session is designed to explore.

Therapy isn't just for crisis situations. If something is impacting your daily life, relationships, sleep, work, or overall well-being, it's worth addressing. You don't have to wait until things get worse to seek support.

That's a valid concern. Not every therapist is the right fit for every person, which is why we start with a free consultation. If after a few sessions it doesn't feel helpful, we can discuss what might work better or I can help connect you with another therapist who might be a better match.
