Is therapy right for me?
Most people consider therapy when something in life isn’t working as it should… a relationship feels strained, anxiety or low mood is taking over, or patterns keep repeating despite your efforts.
Therapy can help if you are:
- feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged
- struggling with anxiety, depression, or compulsive patterns
- navigating relationship conflict or disconnection
- going through a life transition or loss
- wanting greater self-awareness and personal growth
You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people seek therapy simply because they want to live more intentionally and make meaningful changes in their lives.
What is therapy like?
Therapy is structured, collaborative, and focused on helping you create real change.
Sessions typically last 50 minutes and may be held on a weekly basis, especially at the beginning. Together, we will:
- identify what is happening and why
- understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
- develop practical strategies to address those patterns
You may also be given tools or exercises to apply between sessions.
For therapy to be effective, it requires:
- honesty
- active participation
- willingness to try new approaches
You can expect:
- a non-judgmental and respectful environment
- clear feedback and direction
- practical tools you can use in daily life
What type of therapy do you provide?
My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, compulsive patterns, and trauma-related responses
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy for relationship work
I also integrate:
- attachment-based understanding of relationships, helping clients make sense of patterns in connection, trust, and intimacy
- emotion regulation and skills-based strategies to build practical tools for managing distress and navigating challenges
- systems-oriented thinking, recognizing how relationships, family dynamics, and larger systems impact individual experience
This means therapy is not just about talking… it is about understanding patterns and actively working to change them.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is taken seriously.
All communication between you and your therapist is confidential and protected by law. Information is not shared without your written permission, except in specific situations required by law, including:
- suspected child, elder, or dependent adult abuse
- risk of serious harm to yourself
- risk of serious harm to another person
If any of these situations arise, we will work together whenever possible to ensure safety.
Do you offer faith-based therapy?
For clients who desire it, therapy can incorporate faith and a theological understanding of the human person.
This integration is always client-led and tailored to your goals. It may include exploring how faith relates to your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and decision-making.
How much does a session cost?
- Standard session (50 minutes): $135
- 24-hour cancellation policy applies
Do you accept insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider.
This means:
- payment is made at the time of service
- you are provided with a superbill (Statement for Insurance Reimbursement)
- you may submit this to your insurance for possible reimbursement
Depending on your plan, reimbursement typically occurs within 2–3 weeks.
Important notes:
- many insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis
- coverage varies depending on your plan
- reimbursement is not guaranteed
You are responsible for verifying your benefits with your insurance provider.
Helpful questions to ask your insurance:
- Do you reimburse for out-of-network mental health services?
- What percentage is reimbursed?
- What is my deductible?
- How do I submit a superbill?
Telehealth Sessions
Sessions are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant video.
Telehealth allows you to attend therapy:
- from home
- from your office
- or wherever is most convenient
Research shows that telehealth is as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns.
