Having trained in several models of contemporary, evidence-based psychotherapy, I firmly believe that there is no single treatment that works best for everyone. Instead, I have found that therapy is most effective when tailored to the unique needs of each client. As we start our work together, I will help you gain insight into the recurring patterns in your life that are holding you back or causing despair. As treatment proceeds, I will continue to support you as you make what may be difficult, yet, important life changes. I provide services to individuals, as well as to couples seeking more fulfillment from their relationship.

Learning how to navigate life as a young adult is hard! You are trying to balance the demands of work or school, family, and friends, all while figuring out who you are and who you want to be. As a driven and successful individual, you may put a lot of pressure on yourself and feel constrained by your own expectations.

Do you feel constantly anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in the same patterns you can’t seem to change? Do you consider yourself high-functioning and self aware, yet still feel unsettled underneath it all? I work with women who are ready to heal from trauma and the ways it shows up in daily life: through anxiety, relationship struggles, self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Trauma doesn’t always come from one defining event; it can stem from relationships, attachment wounds, chronic stress, family dynamics, or years of having to hold it all together.

I welcome anyone struggling with issues like anxiety, codependency, addiction, and eating disorders to work with me. I tend to be a good fit for people who are motivated and ready to make difficult changes in their lives—changes they’ve struggled to manage on their own and need more support with. I offer a warm and honest space to meet people where they are and walk with them through the process. My approach is relational and I gently challenge limiting beliefs, whether it’s perfectionism or “not enoughness,” which often hold people back from being their most authentic and compassionate selves.

Do you feel like no matter how much you accomplish, it still doesn’t feel like enough? Do you wake up already anxious, your mind racing with everything you “should” be doing, and go to bed second-guessing interactions at work, with friends, or with your partner? Do you find yourself constantly scanning for what could go wrong, overanalyzing conversations, or replaying mistakes — even though no one else sees them? You’re ambitious and adaptable, but anxiety never lets you fully relax into your relationships and life. Even in success, relief fades fast, replaced by this constant pressure and worry.

Does insurance cover therapy, prescriptions and other behavioral health services?
In general, yes. Laws in the U.S. require insurers to cover essential behavioral health care at the same level as other health care services. Most health plans require a medical diagnosis and treatments that are evidence based and medically essential. This means that life coaching and alternative therapies are not covered, nor is therapy without a diagnosis. Call the number on the back or your insurance card or visit your insurance company's website to review your Summary of Benefits. If you have insurance through your employer, your Human Resources department may also be able to answer questions.
How much does therapy cost with insurance?
The cost of therapy depends on your region, how much training and experience your therapist has, and the type of treatment. The rate for talk therapy generally falls between $100 and $250. For a client seeing an in-network provider, the cost of therapy is often similar to the cost of other health care services. Clients pay co-pays and may need to satisfy a plan’s deductible before benefits kick in.
What is the difference between In-Network and Out-of-Network insurance coverage?
An in-network provider has contracted with an insurer to get paid directly for services, and to accept the insurer’s rate of compensation. Clients are responsible for deductibles and copays. If a therapist is out of network, that means that the client pays the therapist directly for services at the therapist’s regular fee. Out-of-Network providers often give clients a receipt so that they can file for partial reimbursement with their insurance company.
Is it difficult to find an In-Network therapist?
It is not unusual for therapists to limit the number of insurance patients in their practice, so it’s important to check in-network availability when you schedule your first appointment. In regions and times where therapy is in high demand it may take longer to get scheduled with an in-network therapist.
What is the difference between HMO and PPO insurance plans?
HMO health plans only cover in-network services, there is no reimbursement for out-of-network providers. PPO plans often cover both in- and out-of-network services, though the client may pay more for out-of-network services.
What is a Superbill?
A superbill is a receipt for therapy services. It provides all the information required by insurance companies to reimburse you for out-of-network services, including the diagnostic codes for your care, the amount paid, and the dates and duration of care.
Does insurance cover Online therapy?
Many therapists who shifted their practice to online therapy during the pandemic have kept that arrangement. And most insurers continue to cover telehealth services, with a few exceptions. Preventive care (such as an annual depression screening) is often required to be in-person to be covered, and some states require prescribers of controlled substances to see those patients in person.
Does insurance cover Group therapy?
Many insurance plans provide coverage for group therapy provided there is a medical diagnosis for group members, but there are some noteworthy exceptions. For example, Medicare does not always cover group therapy. Group therapy tends to cost less than individual therapy.
Does insurance cover Couples therapy?
Most insurance companies do not cover the cost of couples therapy because there is no medical diagnosis or medically necessary treatment. However, a few plans will offer a limited benefit, so it is still worth checking with your insurance company. Sometimes therapy is covered for a couple when one person has a diagnosis and another family member joins them for joint therapy, but it is considered therapy for the medical condition that includes a family member as a listener or helper, not couples counseling. Without insurance, most clients pay between $100-300 per 60-90 min session for couples therapy. Often clients can find classes or workshops that make it more affordable to work on their relationship. And some employers offer benefit plans that help defray the cost of couples therapy. Learn more about Insurance Coverage and Finding Affordable Therapy
