Starting therapy can feel unfamiliar or even a little intimidating. The first session is a space to understand what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what kind of support you’re needing.
We’ll also go over important details like consent, confidentiality, and what to expect moving forward. From there, we begin to make sense of what’s been going on and start building a foundation for the work.
I partner with Headway to process insurance claims for individual therapy, which allows many clients to use their in-network benefits.
If you have out-of-network benefits, I can also use Thrizer to help reduce your out-of-pocket cost. This can allow you to pay closer to your estimated session rate rather than paying the full fee upfront and waiting for reimbursement.
I also accept debit and credit cards, HSA/FSA, and offer a limited number of sliding scale spots.
Yes. Research shows that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns. Many clients find it easier to attend consistently, feel more comfortable in their own space, and stay more engaged in the process over time.
My approach is thoughtful, direct, and centered on understanding your individual experience. We focus on what’s happening beneath the surface, including patterns, past experiences, and how your current environment is impacting you. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed work, tailoring sessions to what is most relevant for you. The goal isn’t just to talk about what’s going on, but to understand it in a way that leads to meaningful, lasting change..
This depends on what you’re working through. Some people begin to notice shifts within a few sessions, especially as things start to make more sense. We move at a pace that allows for real understanding, while still staying focused on what isn’t working and where change is possible..
work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and perinatal mental health, including pregnancy and postpartum. If you’re unsure whether your situation fits, you don’t need to have that figured out before reaching out.
You don’t have to be completely sure. If something feels off, overwhelming, or stuck, that’s usually enough reason to explore support. Therapy can help you make sense of what’s going on and figure out what you actually need. Some people benefit from weekly sessions, while others may meet bi-weekly or monthly. We determine that together based on your needs and what will support steady, meaningful progress.
