Greater flexibility in treatment: As a private-pay client, therapy is not limited by insurance restrictions or predetermined treatment limits. This allows us to focus on your individual needs and progress rather than meeting insurance requirements.
Enhanced privacy: Choosing private pay provides an added level of confidentiality, as insurance companies are not involved in your care and do not have access to your therapy records or treatment details.
Communication & Experience: I will answer the phone and be communicative! I am a human on the other side of the phone, and not associated with a mega corporation that is only interested in profiting from you. I am human first. Therapist second.
I have gained the education and experience that it requires to have specialties because of my personal life experiences and training in these specific topics. From being a mom to working on attachment topics in relationships, to dealing with my own perinatal hardships. I have lived through these experiences while being a therapist; therefore, I am a provider who not only has formal education regarding these focus areas but also the emotional knowledge of what it is like to be on the other side.

To ensure that every client receives the most appropriate care, there are certain populations and presenting concerns that fall outside the scope of my practice. At this time, I do not provide:
Family therapy
Therapy for children and adolescents under the age of 18
Treatment for individuals with primary Cluster B personality disorders
Specialized treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
If your needs are outside my areas of practice, I would be happy to provide referrals to clinicians who specialize in these services and can best support your goals.

The frequency and length of therapy are unique to each individual. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others may meet more frequently during times of crisis or transition. Others may find that monthly sessions provide the ongoing support they need. Likewise, some people achieve their goals in just a few sessions, while others choose to continue therapy for months or even years.
Together, we'll determine a schedule that best supports your needs, goals, and circumstances, and we'll adjust it as those needs evolve.
Some of the goals we may work toward include:
Building effective coping skills to manage anxiety
Reducing symptoms of perinatal anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Developing healthier, more balanced thought patterns
Strengthening attachment security in relationships
Cultivating radical acceptance during difficult life circumstances
Improving relationship functioning and communication
Increasing self-awareness, resilience, and emotional well-being
Therapy is a collaborative process, and our work together will be tailored to your unique experiences and the goals that matter most to you.

To help ensure appointment availability for all clients, I require at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours' notice, as well as missed appointments, will be charged the full session fee. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping maintain a consistent schedule for everyone.

Nope! I do not use artifical intelligence (AI) in our sessions or practice which provides further safety for your treatment records. Nothing in session is being audio recorded or transcribed.

Start by clicking the button below to schedule your complimentary 15-minute consultation. This is an opportunity for us to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and determine whether we're a good fit.
If we decide to move forward together, we'll schedule your first appointment. Before our session, you'll receive your intake paperwork, informed consent forms, and a secure telehealth link to access your appointment.
Once your paperwork is complete, we'll begin meeting at a frequency that best supports your goals and clinical needs. Throughout the process, we'll regularly check in on your progress and adjust our approach as needed.
As you build confidence in the skills you've learned and feel you've met your therapy goals, we'll work together to determine the next step. This may include successfully concluding therapy or transitioning to sessions on an as-needed basis to support your continued growth.
