Before we begin.

Is what I share confidential?

Yes. Your sessions are private and confidential, protected by law and by professional ethics, with only the narrow exceptions every licensed therapist is required to follow (such as imminent safety concerns). This is a space where nothing is too taboo to say out loud.

Do you take insurance?

Some plans, yes. The quickest way to get a real answer for your own plan is the booking page, which has an insurance checker that gives you an estimated cost per session before you commit to anything. If your plan is out of network, I can provide superbills, which are itemized receipts you submit yourself for possible reimbursement. And if you would rather just ask a person, reach out and I will walk you through current fees and payment options directly. I would much rather have a straightforward conversation about cost than have you rule out therapy on an assumption.

What if I am in crisis or need help right now?

Please do not wait for an email reply. I am a solo practitioner and often in session, so this website is not an emergency service and messages are not monitored around the clock. If you are in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which is free, confidential, and available at any hour, or call 911. If you are experiencing domestic violence, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 800-799-7233. Once you are safe, I am still glad to hear from you about ongoing work.
