FAQs
What can I expect in my first session?
Your first session is an opportunity for us to begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We'll spend time discussing what has brought you to therapy, the challenges you're currently facing, and the experiences that have shaped where you are today. Together, we'll explore what you hope to gain from therapy, identify meaningful goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan designed to help you move toward lasting growth and positive change.
What are my payment options?
I accept all major credit and debit cards, including HSA and FSA cards. through IVY Pay. IVY Pay is a financially secure and HIPAA compliant credit card processing system. Payment is due in full at the time of service. If you are not utilizing insurance, I will provide you with a “good faith estimate” in accordance with the No Surprises Act.
Does telehealth work like in person therapy does?
Studies have demonstrated telehealth is a viable care alternative and found there are no significant differences in symptom reduction between in person and telehealth therapy patients. See the full study from the National Institute of Health.
What type of patients do you work with?
I work primarily with older adolescents (college-aged and above) and adults, with a particular focus on individuals who experience:
High-functioning anxiety or chronic overthinking
People-pleasing patterns and difficulty setting boundaries
Guilt, self-criticism, or fear of disappointing others
Emotional burnout from caregiving, relationships, school, or work
Stress related to family dynamics, academic pressure, or life transitions
Many of the patients I work with appear capable and put-together on the outside, yet feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. They are often highly responsible, sensitive, and driven. Therapy focuses on helping them build healthier boundaries, manage anxiety more effectively, and create a more balanced and sustainable life.
I tend to be a good fit for patients who:
Are open to learning practical skills and strategies
Want a structured, collaborative approach to therapy
Are interested in understanding patterns and making meaningful change
I may not be the best fit if you are:
Looking for crisis or emergency services
Seeking unstructured, insight-only therapy without skill development
