MY APPROACH
Therapy sessions with me are insight oriented and emotion-focused, with special attention directed toward your relationship with yourself and others. The style of therapy I practice is a combination of psychodynamic and relational-cultural psychotherapy, integrated with mindfulness. I also practice from a trauma-informed perspective and incorporate systems of privilege and oppression into understanding my clients’ experiences.
As a white, cisgender woman I recognize that it is my responsibility to earn trust from clients whose marginalized identities make their experiences of the world different than my own. I work actively to see the blind spots created by my privilege and to develop accurate empathy for challenges I’ve not had to face personally.
NEXT STEPS
It is my goal with all clients to build a trusting relationship where you feel deeply understood. If it sounds like we might be a good fit, or you’d like to find out more, I warmly welcome you to reach out via phone or email for a free 15-minute consultation.

BILLING AND INSURANCE
I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not participate in any insurance networks at this time. If your plan offers out-of-network coverage those benefits might offer reimbursement for therapy sessions.
To save you time, I will prepare and submit claims to your insurance company on your behalf. After they process your claim, they would send any reimbursement directly to you. The amount of reimbursement is specific to your insurance plan. If you prefer to submit claims on your own, I will send you a monthly statement.

TELETHERAPY
I conduct all sessions via teletherapy and use Therapy Portal, a HIPAA-compliant platform for telehealth. After setting up your initial appointment, I will send you an invitation to the platform.
On Therapy Portal, you will have secure access to paperwork and payment.
