Meaningful Therapy For People Who Want Change
Thoughtful, meaningful therapy for people who want real change
—not endless talking.
If you’re here, chances are you’re doing “fine” on the outside…
but inside, something feels heavy, confusing, stuck, or unresolved.
I work with adults who are insightful, self-aware, and ready to understand why certain patterns keep showing up — emotionally, relationally, or internally — and how to shift them.
Therapy with me is reflective, grounded, and practical.
We don’t rush. We also don’t circle the same issue forever.
Plus I teach you my own Emotional Independence™ framework and tools
to support your growth and capability to get through past, current, and future challenges.

What I Help With
Clients often come to me for support around:
• Anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm
• Stress, feeling constantly anxious or on edge
• Depression or persistent low mood
• Relationship patterns and attachment issues
• Boundaries, people-pleasing, and emotional burnout
• Identity shifts, life transitions, and self-trust
• Body image concerns and self-perception
• High-functioning stress (“I’m coping… but barely”)
You don’t need a crisis to start therapy. You just have a sense that something isn’t working anymore.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still curious? Here are some answers.
Do you accept insurance?
No. I do not accept insurance.
I am a private-pay provider. This allows me to offer more personalized, flexible, and confidential care without insurance restrictions or diagnoses required for coverage.
Some clients choose to submit claims called Superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement. I recommend checking directly with your insurance provider. But also I can explain fully this process during our Discovery Call.
Is the Discovery Call required?
Yes.
The Discovery Call is required for all new clients and serves as a professional consultation to ensure fit, clarity, and alignment before beginning therapy.
Is the Discovery Call therapy?
No.
It is a consultation, not an ongoing therapy session. While it may feel therapeutic, its purpose is assessment, clarity, and decision-making — for both of us.
Is the Action Plan with the Discovery Call therapy?
No.
The Action Plan is not therapy. It’s a clinical planning document I create, customize, and deliver to you with recommended goals and resources based off of our conversation. It provides you clarity and structure for therapy, whether you work with me or not, before officially starting therapy. Many clients find it helpful even if they choose not to move forward with therapy.
Pricing and payment options are included in your Action Plan. This allows us to discuss fees in the context of your goals, recommended frequency, and level of support—rather than as a one-size-fits-all approach.
There is no obligation to continue. The Action Plan is designed to help you make an informed, grounded decision about next steps.
What happens after the Discovery Call?
If we both agree it’s a good fit, we’ll discuss options for working together and scheduling.
There is no obligation to continue.
Who do you work with?
I work primarily with adults, women and men. I also work with couples in select cases.
Do you do in-person therapy?
No.
At this time, I see clients virtually only, and offer occasional in-person sessions when our locations and availability align.
How often would we meet?
That depends on your needs, goals, and capacity.
We’ll talk through realistic options during your Discovery Call.
Ready to Take the First Step?
If you’re curious, thoughtful, have questions, and ready to explore what’s next — the Discovery Call is your next step.
