My Approach
I became a psychotherapist because I love exploring why we are the way we are. What's important to me is to create space to foster empowerment as well as facilitate growth and change. I feel it is an honor to be a part of someone's journey towards self actualization and well-being.
I’m personable, enjoy humor and connection and appreciate depth. I like to build relationships. My perspective is anti-oppression, anti-racist, social justice and feminist-oriented. My approach is exploratory, supportive, culturally attuned, and compassionately directive when needed. We will look at your past and will search for the root causes of your suffering. I will also challenge your negative thinking patterns and core beliefs and provide feedback and tools to help you build a more liberated, self-sustained life.
My practice reflects a wide range of identities and social locations. As a therapist who holds white and cis privilege, I am committed to ongoing exploration, awareness, and accountability around how that privilege may show up in therapy.

FAQ's
Do you take insurance?
I am not on any insurance panels and do not work directly with any insurance companies. If you would like to submit a claim to your insurance, I can give you a superbill with the information needed. I encourage you to call your insurance company about the details of your out of network coverage.
What is the fee?
My current fee is $170 per 50 minute session. If I am unable to accommodate you, I can refer you to a trusted colleague or provide sliding scale resources.
How often are the sessions?
I will likely recommend that we meet once weekly, at the same time each week whenever possible. I have found that this consistency allows for a trusting working relationship to form more easily, and for the work we do together to integrate more smoothly in your life. Other options, such as bi-weekly, are possible depending on your needs.
How do I choose a therapist?
I often suggest to try things on and see how it feels. Sometimes it's a perfect fit and sometimes you need to sit with it for a little longer.
Because this is an important relationship you are building, I will honor your capacity for trust. We will get to know each other in a setting that's specifically designed to pay attention to you! Since it's important for you to benefit as much as possible, I'm a fan of reviewing how things are going and see if we need to come up with a plan for next steps. Our initial meetings are a chance to see how it feels to work together and to determine if therapy can help you with your concerns. If we are not the right fit, I am happy to refer you to a colleague or provide other resources.
