Fees
Individual 55-Minute Session: $180
My fee reflects the level of training, presence, and emotional bandwidth that trauma-focused therapy requires. I charge in a way that allows me to show up grounded, present, and fully engaged so your therapy doesn’t feel rushed, fragmented, or emotionally unsafe.
I understand that investing in therapy can feel vulnerable. My hope is that the depth, care, and integrity of the work helps it feel like a meaningful use of both your time and your resources.
Why I Don’t Take Insurance
I’ve chosen not to work with insurance so your therapy can be guided by you, not a third party’s rules, timelines, or reimbursement structures.
Insurance companies often:
require a mental health diagnosis to remain on record
limit the length, frequency, or focus of therapy
base care on what they are willing to pay for — not on what you need emotionally or relationally
Trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, and somatic work require flexibility, attunement, and responsiveness. This work doesn’t follow a preset timeline and can’t be rushed without compromising safety or depth.
By remaining out-of-network, I’m able to offer therapy that is paced, relational, and responsive — centered on your healing rather than insurance policies.
Accessibility matters to me. I offer a limited number of reduced-fee spots as part of my commitment to more equitable mental healthcare.
If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a monthly superbill for possible reimbursement. Coverage varies depending on your plan and deductible.
Payment Methods:
• HSA/FSA
• Cash, card, or check
• Option to keep your card on file
FAQs
-
It depends on what you’re navigating and what you want from therapy. Most people start with weekly sessions, which helps build trust, regulate the nervous system, and create momentum—especially when working with anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, or chronic stress.
As you begin to feel more resourced, some clients shift to twice-monthly sessions for ongoing support or maintenance. Others choose to work more intensively for a season, particularly for deeper trauma work.
We’ll decide together during your consultation and continue checking in as we go. You always get to choose the pace—and if it’s time to pause or end therapy, that choice is yours.
-
Yes. Some clients are strictly virtual or in person; others use a hybrid approach. I am open to whatever works best for you.
-
I work with clients from Monday through Thursdays between 9am-4pm.
-
Take your time reading through my website and notice what stands out to you. If something resonates and you sense I may be a good fit, I invite you to reach out.
Therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and free to be yourself—including feeling nervous or unsure at first.
-
The first session is a free-flowing conversation where we start getting to know each other. I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy, and we can talk about what has or hasn’t been helpful for you in the past.
You’re welcome to ask questions, too. This session is just as much about you getting a feel for me and my approach. Building trust matters, and this first meeting helps us see if working together feels like a good fit.
-
I’m often described as a warm, down-to-earth therapist. Therapy with me isn’t about being lectured or talking into the void—it’s a collaborative process rooted in honest, sometimes playful conversation.
I blend professionalism with a relatable approach because healing happens best when you feel safe, understood, and genuinely connected.
-
Many of my clients have tried therapy before and found that traditional talk therapy wasn’t enough. My approach goes beyond insight alone by helping you understand and work with your nervous system.
I use a somatic framework, parts work, and EMDR to support deeper, more lasting change—always tailored to your pace and needs. I’m highly trained in working with trauma and dissociation, and my work focuses on creating real, embodied transformation, not just understanding why you feel the way you do.
-
Yes—this is incredibly common. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable and even scary, especially if you’re worried about crying, feeling awkward, or opening up to someone new.
The fact that you’re here, reading this, tells me you’re already taking a brave step. We can start with a consultation call to talk through what you’re looking for and any concerns you have. From there, you get to decide what feels right for you.
-
You never have to talk about something before you’re ready. If something feels overwhelming or frightening to discuss, that’s completely normal.
My role is to support you in moving at a pace that feels safe. Nothing you share will be met with judgment. Therapy is a space where you can be human—exactly as you are.
-
You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to in therapy. EMDR is one tool, and I incorporate many techniques in our work together. You always have a choice in how we work.
