Getting Started

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people reach out because they're feeling stuck, noticing recurring patterns in their relationships, navigating a major life transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, or simply sensing that something needs to change.

    You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out.

  • Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and any questions or concerns you may have.

    There's no pressure to share everything at once. We'll start where you are.

  • A consultation call is a brief, no-pressure conversation where you can share what's bringing you to therapy, learn more about my approach, and ask any questions you have.

    It's an opportunity for both of us to determine whether working together feels like a good fit.

  • That's completely okay. Many clients begin therapy knowing something isn't working but not knowing exactly why.

    Part of the process is slowing down, getting curious, and uncovering what's happening beneath the surface.

  • Yes. I work with adults across many stages of life, from college students and young professionals to parents, retirees, and individuals in their 70s.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.

  • My current rate is $175 for a 50 minute session. 

  • I do not take insurance. However, I can provide a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. 

Individual Counseling

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Individual therapy can help with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, self-worth, identity questions, relationship challenges, family-of-origin concerns, disordered eating, body image struggles, trauma, and recurring patterns that keep showing up in your life.

  • Yes. Therapy can help you better understand what's contributing to your anxiety or depression, develop healthier ways of responding to difficult emotions, and create meaningful change rather than simply managing symptoms.

  • Absolutely. Many people come to therapy because they find themselves repeating the same dynamics in relationships. Together, we'll explore where those patterns come from, how they're affecting your life, and what it might look like to do things differently.

  • Yes. Whether you're navigating a loss, career change, relationship shift, infertility, parenting challenges, identity changes, or another significant life transition, therapy can provide support and perspective during difficult seasons.

  • Yes. Therapy can provide a nonjudgmental space to explore your relationship with food, your body, and yourself while developing a healthier and more compassionate understanding of those experiences.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.

Couples Counseling

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You don't have to wait until your relationship is in crisis. Many couples seek therapy when they notice recurring conflict, growing distance, communication challenges, intimacy concerns, or simply want to strengthen their relationship before problems become more entrenched.

  • No. Some of the most effective couples work happens before a crisis occurs. Therapy can help couples improve communication, deepen connection, navigate transitions, and build a stronger foundation together.

  • Yes. Many couples find themselves having the same arguments repeatedly without ever feeling understood. Therapy helps slow those interactions down, identify what's happening beneath the conflict, and create healthier ways of communicating.

  • Yes. Premarital counseling can help couples deepen their understanding of one another, strengthen communication skills, explore expectations, and build a solid foundation for marriage.

    We can start with an assessment using Prepare/Enrich or start with what’s going on in your relationship now.

  • No. My role is not to determine who's right or wrong. I create a space where both partners can feel heard, understood, and supported while working toward healthier patterns of connection.

Intergenerational Relationship Counseling

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Intergenerational relationship counseling focuses on important adult relationships within families, such as parents and adult children, siblings, grandparents, in-laws, and other significant family relationships. The goal is to better understand longstanding patterns and create healthier ways of relating.

  • Traditional family therapy often focuses on families with children living at home. Intergenerational relationship counseling focuses on adult relationships that may have years or even decades of shared history, unresolved conflict, and deeply ingrained dynamics.

  • Yes. Whether you're a parent hoping to reconnect with an adult child or an adult child navigating a complicated relationship with a parent, therapy can help create greater understanding, healthier communication, and stronger boundaries.

  • Yes. Sibling relationships, in-law relationships, and extended family dynamics can carry longstanding patterns that are difficult to change without support. Therapy can help identify those patterns and create new ways of relating.

  • In many cases, yes. Sometimes meaningful change can begin with one person gaining a deeper understanding of the relationship and their role within it. We can discuss what makes the most sense for your specific situation.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapy approach that helps people understand the different parts of themselves that show up in different situations. Rather than judging those parts, we get curious about where they came from, what they're trying to protect, and what they need. This process often leads to greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and lasting change.

  • Attachment theory explores how our earliest relationships shape the way we connect with ourselves and others. The ways we learned to seek connection, protect ourselves, or respond to conflict often continue to influence our adult relationships. Attachment-based therapy helps identify those patterns and create healthier ways of relating.

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based approach that helps people better understand, express, and respond to emotions. EFT is often used in couples counseling to strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and help partners feel more secure and understood within their relationship.

  • My work integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Together, these approaches help us understand both your inner world and your relationships. We explore the patterns that keep showing up, where they come from, and what it would look like to respond differently so you can experience healthier relationships and a deeper connection with yourself.

  • Absolutely. Faith, spirituality, and spiritual transitions are welcome topics in therapy. Whether faith is an important part of your life, you're questioning beliefs you've held for years, or you're somewhere in between, we'll make space for those conversations without judgment.

  • Yes. I provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and welcome clients of all backgrounds, identities, and belief systems.

  • I am Level 2 trained through IFS Institute.
