Personalized Support For Lasting Change
Whether you're seeking therapy, EMDR, coaching, or a more intensive experience, my goal is to provide personalized support that helps you create lasting change, not just temporary relief.
Finding the Right Fit
Choosing a therapist is an important decision. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to answer your questions, learn more about your goals, and determine whether we're a good fit for working together.

How To Work With Me
Step 1:
Schedule a Free Consultation
Start with a brief phone or video consultation where we’ll discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, answer questions, and see whether we’re a good fit.
Step 2:
Verify Your Out-of-Network Benefits
If you have insurance, I can help you understand whether you have out-of-network reimbursement options. Many clients receive partial reimbursement for sessions.
Step 3:
Begin Personalized Therapy
We’ll create a therapy experience tailored specifically to your goals, needs, pace, and schedule.
Step 4:
Ongoing Support & Growth
Therapy becomes a space where you can process, heal, gain insight, and create lasting change.
Private-Pay Therapy Explained
Private-pay therapy allows us to focus fully on your care — not insurance requirements.
That means:
No required mental health diagnosis for coverage
Greater privacy and confidentiality
Flexibility in treatment approaches
Sessions tailored to your needs instead of insurance restrictions
The ability to work at a pace that feels meaningful and sustainable
Boutique Therapy Designed Around You
Boutique counseling means a more personalized, attentive therapy experience.
Rather than a high-volume practice model, I intentionally maintain a focused caseload so clients receive thoughtful, individualized support and care.
This allows for:
More personalized treatment planning
Greater consistency and continuity
Flexible support tailored to your needs
A deeper therapeutic relationship
Sliding Scale
Making Therapy More Accessible
I believe quality mental health care should be accessible whenever possible.
A limited number of reduced-fee appointments are available based on financial need.
Sliding scale openings are limited and subject to availability.
If cost is a concern, please mention this during your consultation so we can discuss current availability and determine whether this option is appropriate.
