What you might be wondering.

Therapy is a space that's just for you. It's a chance to slow down, talk through what's on your mind, and start to make sense of things that might feel confusing, heavy, or stuck. It doesn't require you to arrive with clear answers or a tidy summary of what's wrong. A lot of that gets figured out together, over time.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like something just isn't working the way you'd like it to, therapy can help. It can also be valuable if things are going reasonably well but you want to understand yourself better, or work through something before it grows. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from this kind of support.

The first session is really just a conversation. We'll talk about what's been going on for you, what's bringing you to therapy now, and what you're hoping to get out of it. I'll ask some questions to get a sense of your history and your life, and you're welcome to ask me anything as well. There's no pressure to dive deep right away. The goal is simply for you to get a feel for what working together might be like.

Yes, and I encourage it. I offer a free 20 to 30-minute consultation so we can talk about what you're looking for and get a sense of whether we might be a good fit. It's a low-pressure way to ask questions and see how things feel before committing to anything.

That's completely normal, and honestly it's a sign that you care about this. Most people feel at least a little uncertain before their first session. My job is to make the process feel as comfortable as possible, and we'll always go at a pace that feels right for you. You don't need to have it all figured out before we begin.

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples, with a focus on trauma, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I draw from a range of approaches, including EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, DBT, somatic work, and psychodynamic therapy, and I tailor everything to what fits you. There's no one-size-fits-all here.

Warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep listening. I want you to feel genuinely seen and understood, not evaluated or managed. I'll offer guidance and tools when they're useful, but therapy is a partnership, and you're always in the driver's seat. Clients often tell me they feel like they can bring anything to our sessions, and that's exactly what I'm aiming for.

That's genuinely different for everyone. Some people come for a few months to work through something specific. Others stay longer to do deeper work. We'll check in regularly about how things are going and what feels right for you. There's no predetermined timeline.

That's completely okay. Therapy is one of the few places where you can let your guard down and feel what you're actually feeling, without having to manage how it looks to anyone else. I'll be right there with you.

You don't need to. Part of what we do together is help you find language for things that feel murky or hard to name. Showing up is enough. We'll work the rest out from there.

Yes, and this is something I care deeply about. My own background has taken me across many countries and cultures, and I've spent a lot of time thinking about how identity, immigration, and cultural context shape the way we experience ourselves and our relationships. I approach every person's background with curiosity and respect, and I also hold a lot of humility here. I won't always get it right, and when I don't, I want you to tell me. We'll figure it out together.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes. Longer sessions can be arranged if needed.

Yes. I offer secure virtual sessions, which can be a flexible option if you're managing a busy schedule or prefer the comfort of your own space. It's the same process as in-person work, just online.

Just yourself. If you have any relevant documents you'd like to share, such as a list of medications or records from a previous provider, you're welcome to bring those, but nothing is required.

I am an out-of-network provider. If your plan includes out-of-network behavioral health benefits, your sessions may be partially reimbursed by your insurance company. I'm happy to walk you through how that process works if it's unfamiliar.

You pay the full session fee at the time of service. At the end of each month, I submit claims on your behalf, and your insurance company reimburses you directly based on your plan's benefits. Many plans reimburse between 60% and 80% of the "reasonable and customary" rate, though this varies by plan. I encourage you to contact your insurance company directly to understand your specific coverage.

Call the member services number on your insurance card and ask: What are my out-of-network behavioral health benefits for outpatient psychotherapy? What is my out-of-network deductible, and has any of it been met? What is the reasonable and customary rate for CPT code 90791? What is the reasonable and customary rate for CPT code 90834? What percentage of that rate do you reimburse?

If you're paying fully out of pocket, reduced fees may be available in some circumstances. Please reach out and we can talk about what might work.

I accept credit cards and FSA or HSA cards. Payment is due at the time of each session.

I ask for 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. This helps me offer that time to someone else who may need it.

I understand that life doesn't always cooperate. If you miss a session without 48 hours' notice, I'll make a genuine effort to reschedule within the same week, or offer an extra session the following week if we meet weekly. If rescheduling isn't possible, the full session fee applies. This policy is meant to balance flexibility with the kind of consistency that makes therapy work.
