To get started, reach out through your preferred mode of contact (e.g., email, phone, or through the contact form) and include your name (first, last), as well as your contact information so that I can get in touch with you. You should hear from me within 1-2 business days to schedule a free phone or televideo consultation where I can answer questions, provide additional information, and learn about what’s bringing you in. The consultation is nonbinding and designed to be a low-stress opportunity for us to see whether we’re a good fit.

If you’re ready to get started and would like to request an intake appointment, please note this in your inquiry.

If you have any questions about this process, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

You can reach me via phone, email, or through the contact page. I will get back to you as soon as possible; typically within one to two business days.

Very human. I swear (with your consent), I make jokes, I laugh, and I’ll challenge you. What it means to be challenged varies by person, but it often involves doing deeper work to better understand any underlying wounds, which is an important part of the healing process. I believe we grow when we allow ourselves to lean into discomfort and go outside of our comfort zones. That said, it takes time, energy, and a lot of bravery to explore areas that are unknown or can be distressing. You get to decide if, when, how far, and at what pace we go at. I’ll ask for feedback about how something landed so that I can make adjustments as needed. I encourage opportunities for you to connect with yourself in the moment, communicate needs, place boundaries, and practice grounding/coping skills. Even if you can, you don’t have to do this alone (Life is tough enough already!).

Yes! I value being able to offer accessible services when possible. If finances are a barrier to care, please inquire about reduced fee options.

1. Private pay allows us to focus on what’s important to you, and enables us to attend to it using approaches that work for you (not a chosen modality and/or session limits dictated by insurance).

2. Private pay means your personal health information remains confidential and you have greater control over who can access records.

Confidentiality, privacy, and trust are essential in the therapeutic process, and private pay supports a framework which upholds these values.
