Easy — reach out via email or use my contact form. From there, you'll hear back with a few available times to schedule a free 10-15 minute phone consultation. That call is a chance for you to ask questions, share what's bringing you to therapy, and get a feel for whether we're a good fit. If it feels right, we'll schedule your first session — typically within two weeks.

The intake session is 53-60 minutes and covers a lot of ground — your background, relationships, family dynamics, culture, identity, health, and what's bringing you in. I know that sounds like a lot, but these sessions tend to feel more like a conversation over coffee than an interrogation. I'm intentional about making it feel personal and welcoming while also staying focused.

Most clients meet every 2-4 weeks depending on what feels right for them. Sessions typically span anywhere from 6 months to 2 years — there's no set timeline, and we'll figure out what works for you as we go.

Not at this time — everything is virtual. Honestly, it works really well. You don't have to fight traffic, find parking, or sit in a waiting room. You just show up from wherever you are, and we get to work.

Individual sessions are $125 for a 55-minute session. Couples sessions are $150 for 55 minutes. I'm self-pay only, but I can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. I also offer reduced-rate sessions — if cost is a barrier, just bring it up during the consultation and we'll figure something out.

Totally okay. You can say no to me being your therapist, the same way I can say no to being your therapist. It's okay if we didn't vibe and you aren't feeling it. Sometimes it takes a few tries to find the right match — don't get discouraged by that. The right fit is worth looking for.

We talk about it. I firmly believe that calling the police is rarely the right response to a mental health crisis, and it's not my default. I only involve other agencies if there is an active, immediate danger to yourself or others — that's my duty as a licensed clinician. What I will do is create space to actually discuss what you're feeling. Suicidal thoughts are more common than people realize, and having the thought doesn't automatically mean you're in crisis. We'll work through it together using safety planning, coping skills, and honest conversation.

Both! I work with individuals as my primary focus, but I also see couples — monogamous and polyamorous. Fair warning: couples work is rewarding and also exhausting in the best way. You're in good hands either way.

That's actually really common, and it doesn't mean therapy isn't for you — it might just mean you haven't found the right fit or approach yet. If you've left sessions feeling like all your therapist did was validate your feelings without actually digging in, that's not what this looks like. We're going to talk, explore, and go deeper than surface-level support.

Everything shared in session stays between us with a few legal exceptions — if there is an active risk of harm to yourself or someone else, or if records are subpoenaed by a court. Outside of those situations, your privacy is protected. I'll walk you through all of this in your intake paperwork before we ever have our first session so there are no surprises.
