Why invest in therapy?
Experience Healing
We all have a story that we carry with us. You may be holding stress, trauma or unhealed wounds from your past or present. We’ll walk with you through that to find healing and write the better chapters of your story.
Healthier Relationships
Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect and trust. Learning to have open and honest communication in a safe space with your counselor can be the path forward to a healthier, stronger relationship.

FAQ
Looking for answers?
How do I make an appointment?
Just follow this link to our booking page and make your appointment there.
You may also fill out the form on our contact page.
After we get connected, if we both decide that we would be a good fit together, then we will schedule our first session.
Do you accept insurance?
We do not accept insurance.
With that being said, I do offer billable receipts or “super bills” that you can turn into your insurance company for potential out of network benefits. However, I cannot guarantee that your insurance company will accept these so, if this is an important factor in your decision for therapy, please check with your insurance company first. I am more than willing to send you my license number and national provider number if you’d like to check on availability for reimbursement.
What will happen during our initial sessions?
Our first sessions together will be about getting to know your story and what brings you to counseling. I will also tell you a bit about myself including my educational and personal background, the theoretical framework I utilize, and logistical information and paperwork for beginning the therapy process
What if I need to cancel a session?
You are responsible for coming to your session on time and at the time that is scheduled. Your designated hour is yours and will not be given to anyone else. This means that you will pay for your session regardless of whether or not you choose to come. Your designated hour is your financial responsibility; therefore you agree to pay for your appointment, for the duration of our therapeutic arrangement, regardless of whether you choose to come.
You are able to “make up” for cancelled appointments within the week before, during, or after the date of your absence, if our schedules align. I will make every effort to find a time for you. You are allotted one “free” cancellation per year for each time that you attend per week. (For example, if you attend therapy twice per week, you are given two “free” cancellations.)
You are not required to pay for sessions that I cancel. I will make every effort to alert you of my planned vacation times in advance.
