Using Your Insurance Benefits

While I don't accept insurance directly, many clients get reimbursed for our sessions. After each session I provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for potential refunding.

Working Together

How We Work Together

We won’t just talk about your problems; we will actively work to shift how they feel in your body and mind. Our sessions are designed to be dynamic, collaborative, and entirely paced by you.

All identities, cultural backgrounds, and intersectional experiences are welcomed and deeply valued.

  • Mapping the Whole Picture: We will look beyond your current symptoms to understand the deeper roots of what is keeping you stuck.
  • Clearing the Noise: We will identify the patterns, critical self-talk, and overwhelming stressors that are cluttering your daily life.
  • Leaning into Your Strengths: You already have resilience inside you. We will reconnect you with your innate capacity to heal and grow.

Depending on what you are facing, we can weave specialized, deeply transformative modalities into our sessions:

IFS Inner Healing

Stop fighting your conflicting feelings or inner critics. We look at your emotions with kindness so you can end internal conflict and trust your own judgment.

EMDR Therapy

A proven approach that helps your brain naturally process painful memories and old hurts. This stops past events from triggering you in the present so you can regain peace.

One-on-One Support

Dedicated individual sessions focused entirely on your specific goals. We use a strengths-based approach to clear the mental noise and help you step out of survival mode.

Trauma Healing

A steady, safe space to process past wounds at your own pace. This helps you lower your stress, let your guard down, and feel truly secure again.

Relationship Patterns

Understand how your past shapes the way you connect with people today. Learn to set healthy boundaries and build genuine bonds where you can relax and be yourself.

Confidence & Growth

Focus on what you are already doing well instead of just what feels broken. Build real-world confidence to handle life's challenges with ease.

Couples Counseling

Stop walking on eggshells and improve your daily communication. We will work together to resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, and help you both feel connected again.

Family Therapy

Build healthier family bonds and improve communication at home. We focus on collaborative sessions where every family member feels heard, valued, and respected.

Play Therapy for Kids

Helping children express big emotions, build resilience, and process daily stress through creative, age-appropriate play.
