Life can feel overwhelming when challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, conflict, or unhelpful patterns seem to block your path. But these struggles don’t define who you are or what’s possible for you.

In my practice, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together to explore what’s holding you back and uncover the strengths that might feel buried under the weight of those challenges. Using evidence-based methods tailored to your unique experiences and goals, we’ll build tools and strategies that feel meaningful and relevant to your life.

Taking the first step toward change can feel daunting, but you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a free 10–15 minute phone or video consultation to connect, explore what’s on your mind, and see how I can support you in building a life aligned with your values. Let’s take that first step together.

Insurance

Out of Network

I am out-of-network but can create superbills to give providers to pursue reimbursement. Good first step is to call your insurance and ask:Do you accept superbills from an out-of-network provider? How do I submit? How much do you reimburse? I also offer a few sliding scale spots based on need.
