What is therapy?

Therapy is a safe space where you can talk openly with a trained professional who truly listens. It gives you support as you explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences, and helps you develop healthier ways to cope, heal, and grow.

What can therapy help me with?

Therapy can support you with:

• Understanding your emotions and what triggers them

• Learning new ways to handle stress and anxiety

• Healing from childhood or generational trauma

• Improving communication and relationships

• Gaining clarity during difficult life transitions

• Building confidence and a stronger sense of self

What should I expect in my first session?

Our first session is gentle and focused on helping you feel comfortable.
Here’s what we’ll do:

• Relationship building: We’ll get to know each other and create a safe, supportive space.

• Gathering background information: I’ll learn about your history, family experiences, and what brought you to therapy.

• Discussing your goals: Together, we’ll explore what you want to work on and what healing means to you.

• Beginning a treatment plan: We’ll discuss the next steps and select an approach that suits your needs and pace.

There’s no pressure to share everything at once. You lead the way, and we move at a pace that feels safe for you.

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance. However, I can provide a Superbill for you to submit for possible reimbursement if you are eligible for out-of-network benefits.  Please contact your benefits administrator to inquire.

What is a Good Faith Estimate

In accordance with the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers are required by law to give clients an estimate of charges for services when they first begin care, especially if the client is using insurance or out-of-network benefits. A “Good Faith Estimate” will be provided to you before your first therapy session.

​

Where are the sessions located?

Sessions are offered online, allowing you to receive care from a place where you feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable.
