The first few steps

What to expect.

Reaching out is usually the hardest part. Here's how the first weeks tend to go, so there are fewer unknowns.

Step 01

Reach out.

Send a short note about what's going on. I read every message personally and reply within two business days — usually faster.

Step 02

Free 15-minute call.

A no-pressure conversation about what you're looking for, my approach, and whether we're a good fit. Either of us can say no.

Step 03

First session.

We meet — in person or over secure video — and start building the kind of trust that makes the real work possible. Most clients book weekly to start.

About

About me

I help adults navigate the moments when life feels too big to carry alone — anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and the relationship patterns that quietly erode connection over time. My approach is collaborative, warm, and grounded in modern therapy techniques.

Fees & insurance.

Cost is one of the first things most people want to know. I keep it transparent.

Session fee: $175 per 50-minute session
Insurance: I am out-of-network with insurance. I provide monthly superbills you can submit for partial reimbursement — most PPO plans cover 40–80% of out-of-network outpatient therapy.
Sliding scale: A limited number of sliding-scale spots are available. If cost is a barrier, please ask.
