What to Expect When Beginning Therapy

Our work together begins with understanding your goals and the experiences that have shaped you. Therapy isn't about rushing toward solutions—it's about building enough understanding so that change becomes meaningful and sustainable.

Some sessions may focus on exploring past experiences, while others may focus on navigating current challenges, strengthening relationships, or developing new ways of responding to stress. Throughout the process, we'll move at a pace that feels supportive to you.

My work is grounded in trauma-informed, relational therapy and informed by Narrative Therapy, EMDR, and other evidence-based approaches. Rather than relying on one method, I tailor therapy to each person's unique experiences and goals.

Common Areas of Focus

  • Childhood emotional neglect

  • Complex trauma (CPTSD)

  • Self-esteem and chronic self-doubt

  • People-pleasing and boundary difficulties

  • Emotional overwhelm or emotional shutdown

  • Burnout and chronic stress

  • Identity exploration

  • Life transitions

  • Late-understood neurodivergence and identity

  • Domestic violence

Investment in Therapy

Therapy is an investment in understanding yourself more deeply and creating meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to provide care that is thoughtful, individualized, and tailored to your unique experiences and goals.

Individual Therapy

  • 50-minute session: $150

Payment is due at the time of each session. I accept all major credit cards as well as HSA/FSA cards.

Out of Network Benefits

If I am not in-network with your insurance plan, you may still be able to use your out-of-network mental health benefits.

I can provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Because every plan is different, I recommend contacting your insurance provider to learn more about your specific out-of-network benefits before beginning therapy.

Insurance

I am currently in-network with:

  • Aetna

  • Carelon

  • Cigna

  • Optum / UnitedHealthcare

  • UMR

  • Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield

Good Faith Estimate

If you are paying out of pocket or choosing not to use your insurance benefits, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of your care under the No Surprises Act. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about this process.

Questions?

Choosing a therapist involves practical considerations as well as finding someone who feels like the right fit. If you have questions about fees, insurance, or getting started, I'm happy to discuss them during a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
