Therapy is a dedicated space to slow down and talk through what’s feeling hard with a trained professional. Together we clarify what’s driving your symptoms or stress, identify patterns that keep you stuck, and build practical tools to help you feel better. Many people find therapy helps them feel more grounded, more hopeful, and more in control of their emotions and choices

I won’t typically tell you what to do. Instead, I’ll help you clarify what matters to you, understand your options, and build the skills to make decisions with confidence. When it’s helpful, I may offer feedback, education, or concrete strategies, but the goal is for you to feel more capable and clear

The timeline varies depending on what you’re working on, how long it’s been present, and your goals. Some people benefit from short-term, focused therapy, while others prefer longer-term work to address patterns more deeply. We’ll check in periodically about progress and adjust goals and frequency as needed, and between-session practice often helps therapy move faster

A good fit usually feels like a combination of safety, trust, and forward movement. You should feel respected, understood, and able to be honest, even when it’s uncomfortable. An initial call or first session is a chance to see whether the therapist’s style, pace, and approach feel right for you, and it’s appropriate to ask about licensing, training, and experience related to your concerns

Progress should be an ongoing conversation, not a mystery. Common signs include fewer or less intense symptoms, more steadiness in mood, improved sleep or focus, greater self-compassion, and more flexibility in how you respond to stress. If you’re not seeing change, we’ll discuss what’s getting in the way and adjust the plan, approach, or goals

I am an out-of-network provider, meaning that I do not participate on any insurance panels.  I am happy to complete the necessary claim forms for patients to submit to their insurance companies for reimbursement.  I recommend that patients check with their insurance company, as many people receive reimbursement for a significant percentage of fees incurred.  Please contact me  if you have any questions about the fees or finances or would like to discuss this further.
