Frequently Asked Questions

I come to this work with a background in transpersonal therapy, blending mindfulness, somatic-informed techniques, and psychodynamic approaches.
What matters most is the connection we build. I tailor each session around what works for you, integrating different therapeutic tools with a trauma-informed perspective. It’s through this relationship that the work begins in a way that’s authentic and collaborative, grounded and relational.

At this time, I only accept Aetna Insurance and private pay clients.

During a 15 minute free phone consultation, you can ask me how I work as a therapist, or any other questions you may have that are specific to you. You’ll also be able to share what’s going on for you and we can decide together how I can help and if we are a good therapeutic fit.

Our first session is about building a connection and getting to know each other. I’ll invite you to share more about yourself, why you are seeking therapy, lifestyle, history, goals you would like to work towards, as well as what has worked or not worked for your mental health in the past.
You are aslo welcome to ask me questions, whether you are curious about my approach or what future sessions may look like. The most important part of the first session is for you to determine if you feel safe, accepted, and comfortable with me. If so, we can discuss whether you’d like to continue working together.
