I am in network with Cigna insurance. Please contact me to determine eligibility.

My out of network rate is $200/hr. I offer a sliding scale fee on a limited, case-by-case basis. I collaborate with a company called Thrizer that can manage your out of network benefits at no cost to you, and get you reimbursement for sessions once you meet your deductible. Please see my Rates page for more information.

Weekly sessions are often recommended when starting therapy. Sometimes biweekly sessions are necessary or a better fit for your needs. We will discuss this together to determine what is best.

I bring empathy and enthusiasm in equal spades. I curse for emphasis. I am compassionately direct. Humor and playfulness are values of mine. I occasionally sing when I speak. For a sense of my personality, you can check out my podcast interviews.

Here are the therapy methods I use in sessions:

1) Guided visualization: Imagery helps you get in touch with your higher Self - the part of you that is wise, intuitive, and calm.

2) Mindfulness: I will guide you in meditations for relaxation. You will observe sensations in your body and use breathing exercises to regulate your nervous system.

3) Creativity: I can incorporate song lyric discussion, singing, songwriting, role play, and movement to help you express yourself. You don’t have to be a professional artist to benefit as everyone is creative.

4) Psychoeducation: One of my passions is sharing information to help you process your experiences. I have fun explaining how to heal from trauma because I’m a nerd and also deeply optimistic that you can recover from it.

5) The relationship: Research has shown that the most important ingredient in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. I strive to be a safe person for you, knowing that in many places it hasn’t felt safe to be yourself. I hold it as a sacred responsibility to see you, celebrate you, and provide space for your emotional truth. I invite you to share with me when something isn’t working, so I can better meet your needs.
