A glimpse into how I work:
My style is warm, nurturing, and honest. I create a foundation of trust and understanding with my clients. The therapy experience is dynamic; I don’t just nod and validate. Instead, I believe effective therapy requires being challenged, introduction to various resources, and learning new skills.
Individual Therapy
I specialize in working with women who yearn for a more trusting, embodied relationship with themselves and others.
My clients are women who feel that enough is enough. They want freedom from anxiety, from feeling like they need to seek approval from others. They’ve been in a cycle of anxiety, depression, poor body image, and escapism for far too long — and it’s not their fault. It’s much larger than them.
These are women who struggle to be in their bodies, and instead find themselves disconnected and living from the neck up. These women suffer from ancestral, cultural, and collective trauma — not to mention their own lived experiences.
I provide a space for discovery and healing so that you can get clear on what you actually want instead.
Things like: Thriving relationships. Liberation. A confident voice. Feeling good in your own skin. Pleasure, purpose, and joy!
I take a root-cause approach that blends:
relationship dynamics, attachment theory, and depth work with nervous system, somatic-focused sensing/feeling, and mindfulness.
I specialize in treating:
anxiety • depression • self-esteem issues • body-image challenges • past traumas • dating and relationships • women’s issues and fertility • religious trauma recovery
Couples Therapy
I work with couples to heal from past wounds, strengthen communication, deepen intimacy — and develop the skillset to maintain a strong relationship.
The couples I work best with are interested in doing their own work. While it can be tempting to think our partner is “the problem,” — what’s most often accurate is that we co-create the issues in our relationships. We participate in the dynamics, informed by a slew of conscious and unconscious factors dating back to our youngest selves.
As Dr. Sue Johnson put it: “The drama of love is all about this hunger for safe emotional connection, a survival imperative we experience from the cradle to the grave.”
I approach this work with hopes of achieving 1) greater honesty and transparency on both sides and 2) increased empathy and understanding of each other. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment theory, Gottman Couples Therapy and the work of Terry Real and Esther Perel.
Here’s how we get unstuck:
We go beneath the content of the issues and explore the unmet attachment needs, recognizing that we are wired for connection and we protest disconnection.
I specialize in helping couples:
communicate effectively • increase intimacy • learn how to collaborate as a team • heal past wounds • develop interdependence instead of codependence • advocate for their needs • establish more sincerity, vulnerability, and playfulness • tackle big life transitions • coparent with grace

FAQs

My current hours are as follows:
Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10am-4pm
Most of my clients see me weekly or biweekly, and we meet at the same time each week. I have limited floating appointments for those who have less predictable schedules.
-
In order to ensure we are a good fit, I start things off with a free 15-minute video consultation. During this consultation, we'll explore the goals of therapy and whether they align with my approach. It's important that we interview each other, as research shows that the "rightness of fit" of the therapeutic relationship has a huge impact on progress! Work with me.
-
Our clients pay directly for therapy services (our platform keeps your credit card on file, which makes it easy).
I accept all major credit cards and debit cards, plus HSA and FSA cards.
-
No, but many of my clients do seek insurance reimbursement since I am considered an out-of-network provider.
First, find out if you qualify for out-of-network benefits. If you do, our client portal automatically creates a superbill of the previous month’s invoices, which is what you will forward to your insurance company for reimbursement.
How to find out if you have out-of-network benefits:
Clients reach out directly to their insurance provider to find out if they have out-of-network benefits. You’ll call your insurance provider and ask the following questions:
• Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental or behavioral health with this policy?
• Do I have an out-of-network deductible?
• If yes:
• What is my out-of-network deductible?
• How much of my out-of-network deductible has been met?
• What is the start date of the calendar year my out-of-network policy is based on?
Ask the representative what percentage does the policy cover for the following services:
90791 - Intake Session
90834 - Individual psychotherapy
90847 - Couples Therapy
-
I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If clients cancel within that window, they are charged a full session fee.
Our client portal sends out appointment reminders 48 and 24 hours ahead of time, plus 15 minutes before appointments.
-
Especially during cold, flu, covid, etc. season — I appreciate if we can work together on keeping each other from getting sick!
My sick policy is that if you are experiencing symptoms but feel well enough for therapy, that we pivot to a virtual session. And likewise, if I am feeling symptoms but well enough to conduct therapy, I will also let you know we are switching to a virtual session.
