Therapy with me doesn’t always look like sitting across from each other talking about your week (though that is something that is often needed!). While traditional therapy has its place, I’ve found that real growth often happens out in the world, in the spaces where life actually unfolds.

I’ve gone on hikes with clients to help ease anxiety with nature therapy and get endorphins flowing. I’ve supported people in preparing for job interviews, building resumes, and practicing real-world communication skills. I’ve gone with clients as part of a social group to work on confidence and connection in a fun, low-pressure environment. These kinds of experiences aren’t just unique, they’re intentional. They’re about creating opportunities to learn and grow in the ways that matter most to you.

One of the core values of my practice is staying connected outside of scheduled sessions. Life doesn’t pause between appointments, and I encourage my clients to reach out when they need support. That might mean checking in about goals, talking through something tough that just happened, or celebrating a win as it’s happening. I want you to know you’re not doing this alone.

Above all, the relationship we build together is at the heart of everything. I care deeply about creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and genuinely understood. I’m open to whatever kind of support you need, whether that’s working on life skills, navigating friendships or family dynamics, managing stress, or building confidence in social situations.

My goal is never to keep you in therapy forever. I want to help you build the tools, confidence, and self-trust to navigate life on your own, in a way that feels right for you. I’ll be here as long as you need me, but the hope is that one day, you won’t!

**Please note, non-traditional therapy sessions are solely for private pay clients as insurance does not cover non-traditional sessions!

Yes! I am currently only in network with United Healthcare. I am soon to be in network with Aetna as well.

If you are looking for supper outside the traditional therapy model, I can offer more flexible and personalized support that I truly feel people need in order to progress faster while feeling continually supported. However, these sessions are not covered by insurance and are subject to my regular session fee.

For neurodivergent clients especially, I offer support that goes beyond talk therapy. We can meet in real-world settings and practice things like ordering at restaurants, starting conversations with new people, or navigating social situations. I also help clients check in on their goals outside of sessions, work through tough conversations, and even attend events or social gatherings together to build confidence and community, without identifying as your therapist.

This kind of support doesn’t fit neatly into the requirements of insurance, but gives us more freedom to focus on what actually helps!

I do also provide monthly superbills to clients who are strictly working with me for telehealth therapy outside of Aetna and United Healthcare that can be reimbursed by other insurance companies pending your plan

I totally understand that cost can be a barrier, and I deeply believe that specialized mental health care should be accessible. That’s why I reserve 25% of my caseload for sliding scale spots, which are offered at a reduced fee based on financial need.

The best way to find out if I currently have any sliding scale openings is to reach out directly. I’m always happy to have a conversation to see what’s possible. Even if I don’t have availability at the moment, I can offer referrals or help you explore other options that feel supportive and manageable.

Your mental health matters, and I’ll do what I can to help you get the care you need!

The first therapy session is an important starting point, but it’s common for it not to feel immediately "helpful" in the way many people might expect. That’s completely normal. The main focus of our initial appointment is for me to begin getting to know you, your background, what’s been going on in your life, and what brings you to therapy.

This means I’ll likely be asking a lot of questions to help me understand your experiences, challenges, and goals. While it might feel like there’s more talking about things than working through them, this process helps me figure out how I can best support you moving forward.

That said, therapy is a relationship, and it’s just as important that you get a sense of who I am, too. I want you to feel comfortable, safe, and supported here. So the first session also gives you space to ask me questions, share what you're looking for in a therapist, and begin to get a feel for how we might work together.

It’s completely ok if you leave the first session with more questions than answers, that’s part of the process. Over time, as we build trust and clarity, therapy can become a space of insight, relief, and meaningful change!

Yes, I do charge for travel time for individual sessions and/or small group sessions since time spent traveling takes away from sessions I could be offering to other clients. I want to be thoughtful and fair about that, while still being able to offer in-person support when it’s helpful.

Travel is billed at $120 per hour, and I prorate it in 5-minute increments, so that’s $10 for every 5 minutes of travel. For example, if it takes 30 minutes total to get to and from our session, the travel fee would be $60.

This setup helps me keep my schedule balanced and make sure I’m able to show up fully for all of my clients.

*For the monthly scheduled neurodiverse social support groups, I do not charge a travel fee as these are scheduled monthly in advance and are groups I organize and attend regardless of group size.

If you have any further questions or concerns on this, I am happy to help and work with you!
