While trauma is a specialty, I work with a range of concerns like grief, relationships, and perinatal experiences, using a personalized, integrative approach. I also incorporate your worldview including faith as requested by you.

This practice was designed with busy professionals, parents, and couples in mind— people with full lives that need therapy that fits, not one more thing to manage.

I offer flexible ways to work together, including virtual and in-person sessions, evening and weekend availability, intensive therapy options, and workshops.

Weekly therapy is usually one weekly 50-minute session scheduled over the course of several months. Accelerated or intensive therapy delivers the same treatment in multiple sessions per week or through lengthened sessions, helping some people complete the treatment faster and stay engaged.

Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy (CBCT) is couples-focused PTSD therapy designed to reduce symptoms, improve communication, and strengthen connection.

Yes. I accept private self-pay, and I am also considered an out-of-network provider for insurances. Operating under the self-pay model allows for highest standard of care without insurance restrictions. It allows you to maintain your privacy and limits third-party access to your private health information.

While I am not currently in-network with health insurance plans, some plans include out-of-network mental health benefits. If so, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement. When requested, I am happy to provide you superbill documentation with information if you plan to request reimbursement from your insurance company.

Under the No Surprises Act, clients who are self-pay or not using insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before services begin. You will receive this estimate at least 1 business day before your appointment if scheduled within 3–9 business days, or at least 3 business days in advance if scheduled 10 or more business days out. Actual charges may change if your treatment needs change. If you receive a bill that is $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate per session, you have the right to dispute the bill.
