Therapy works best when you feel comfortable with your therapist and their approach. I tend to work especially well with people who are thoughtful and self-aware but feel stuck in patterns they can't seem to change. If you're unsure whether we'd be a good fit, you're welcome to reach out and we can discuss your goals.


Yes, I am in network with major Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans for individual therapy. Insurance coverage varies by plan, so I recommend checking your specific benefits before beginning therapy.


Couples Counseling is not typically covered by insurance, so those sessions are private pay.


  • Initial Evaluation: $150
  • Individual Therapy: $120
  • Couples Therapy: $150


Many of my clients are insightful and self-aware, but still feel stuck in patterns they can't seem to change.

I primarily work with individuals who feel stuck in patterns such as:

  • Overthinking and difficulty making decisions 
  • Anxiety and cycles of worry 
  • Self-criticism and perfectionism 
  • Avoidance or procrastination 
  • Feeling disconnected from yourself or your direction in life 
  • Life transitions and uncertainty


With couples, I focus on:

  • Communication difficulties 
  • Recurring conflict patterns 
  • Emotional distance or disconnection 
  • Repairing trust after hurts or betrayals
  • Navigating life stressors together


I work with ages 16 and up


Yes. I may refer out if a client is experiencing:

  • Active psychosis 
  • Significant cognitive impairment 
  • Ongoing physical partner violence 
  • Certain concerns that require a higher level of specialization or support than I provide

There may be other diagnoses or factors that would cause me to refer out to another therapist on a case by case basis. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll help connect you with someone who is.


The first session is an opportunity for us to understand what brings you to therapy, what you've already tried, and what you'd like to be different. We'll discuss your goals, begin exploring patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.


Most clients start with weekly sessions for the first 4–6 weeks.

This helps us build momentum, understand patterns, and begin making meaningful changes early on.


After that, we can adjust the frequency based on your goals, schedule, and progress. There is no general recommendation for how many sessions or years is right for a person to attend therapy, it will vary significantly based on the individual and their concerns.


Appointments are 53 minutes long


Yes, I offer both.
