At its core, therapy offers two things: a meaningful human connection and a new perspective.

I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and free to explore difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. There is something uniquely powerful about being able to share your story with another person who is fully present, genuinely curious, and committed to understanding your experience. Feeling seen, heard, and understood can be healing in and of itself.

From that foundation, we can begin to identify patterns, increase self-awareness, and better understand the challenges you're facing. While I bring compassion and validation to our work, I will also gently challenge you when needed, helping you explore new perspectives and consider changes that support the life and relationships you want to create.

Therapy may be right for you if you're experiencing relationship challenges, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, feeling isolated or overwhelmed, struggling with parenting stress, exploring questions about identity, or navigating life changes that feel difficult to manage alone. Sometimes, having someone outside the situation can offer a fresh perspective and help you recognize patterns, strengths, and possibilities that may be difficult to see on your own.

You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Many clients begin therapy because they want greater clarity, healthier relationships, or support through life's challenges. If you're unsure whether therapy is right for you, a free consultation can help us determine whether working together feels like a good fit.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your concerns, goals, relevant history, and what you hope to gain from the therapeutic process.

You'll also have the chance to ask questions about my approach, learn what therapy with me looks like, and determine whether I feel like a good fit for your needs. You don't need to prepare anything in advance or have everything figured out before we meet. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where we can begin exploring what's most important to you.

Every individual, couple, and relationship is unique, so the length of therapy varies depending on your goals and the concerns you're addressing. Many clients attend therapy for 6–12 months, though some may benefit from shorter-term support while others choose to work together for a longer period.

I generally recommend weekly or every-other-week sessions during the active phase of therapy. Consistency helps build momentum, strengthen the therapeutic relationship, and support meaningful progress.

As goals are met and changes become more established, we may transition to sessions every 4–6 weeks for a period of maintenance and continued support. Some clients also choose to remain in ongoing therapy as a space to process life events, relationships, and personal growth as they unfold.

Even after therapy has ended, you're always welcome to return. Many clients schedule occasional "tune-up" sessions when new challenges arise or significant life changes occur. In fact, I've had clients return for support several years after completing therapy.

I charge $190 per 50-minute individual session and $270 per 80-minute individual/ couples/ poly families.

I do not accept insurance or bill insurance companies directly. However, I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Because coverage varies widely, I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to learn about your specific mental health benefits.

Please note that most insurance plans do not cover couples or relationship therapy. Because relationship therapy focuses on the relationship rather than an individual mental health condition, I cannot provide a diagnosis solely for the purpose of obtaining insurance reimbursement for couples counseling.

I am also unable to provide services to clients who are using Medicaid benefits.

Yes. Many individuals, couples, and polycules find online therapy to be just as effective as in-person counseling. Virtual sessions eliminate common barriers such as commuting, scheduling challenges, and limited access to specialized therapists in your area.

In my experience, consistency, engagement, and openness in the therapeutic process matter far more than whether therapy takes place online or in person. In fact, many clients feel more comfortable and relaxed in their own environment, which can make it easier to have meaningful conversations and do deeper therapeutic work.

As an added bonus, it's not uncommon for beloved pets to join us during sessions. Some of my clients' furry companions have become regular participants in the therapy process, often providing comfort and support during important moments.

I help individuals work through anxiety, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, self-worth concerns, identity exploration, attachment patterns, work-related stress, communication difficulties, perfectionism, parenting, burnout, and major life transitions.

I also specialize in concerns related to sexuality, gender identity, intimacy, LGBTQIA+ experiences, kink, and ethical non-monogamy (ENM). Together, we'll work to better understand your experiences, strengthen coping skills, and create relationships and a life that feel aligned with your values and goals.

Yes. I work with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and polycules, and am committed to providing an affirming, inclusive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment.

Whether you're exploring your sexual orientation or gender identity, navigating coming out, building healthy relationships, addressing intimacy concerns, or seeking support in a world that is often shaped by heteronormative expectations, therapy can provide a space to be fully seen and understood.

You do not need to educate me about your identity, relationships, or experiences. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can explore challenges, build on your strengths, and create a life and relationships that align with your values and goals.

Many clients begin therapy knowing they want support, but aren't sure whether individual or relationship therapy is the best fit. During your consultation, we'll discuss your concerns, goals, and current circumstances to determine the most appropriate approach.

In general, relationship therapy is often most helpful when concerns involve communication, intimacy, trust, or relationship dynamics. Individual therapy may be a better fit when you're seeking support with personal growth, identity exploration, anxiety, stress, or other individual challenges.

You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out. We'll work together to determine the approach that makes the most sense for your situation. If it becomes clear that both individual and relationship therapy would be beneficial, I can connect you with a trusted colleague so you receive the support you need in both areas.

Yes. In fact, relationship therapy and sex therapy are often deeply connected.. Both involve communication, connection, intimacy, trust, and vulnerability. Because emotional and sexual intimacy are frequently interconnected, challenges in one area can impact the other.

By integrating relationship and sex therapy, I provide a space where individuals, couples, and polycules can explore both aspects of their relationships at the same time. This holistic approach allows us to address the underlying dynamics that influence emotional closeness, sexual satisfaction, and overall relationship health.

For the most part, yes. Because relationship therapy focuses on the relationship rather than any one individual, all partners are expected to attend the majority of sessions.

I typically begin with a session together, followed by one individual session with each partner so I can better understand their personal history, relationship experiences, and perspective. After that, we return to working together as a couple or polycule.

Occasionally, I may recommend additional individual check-ins if it feels we're reaching an impasse, but most of our work is done together.

Absolutely. I work with individuals, couples, and polycules in both traditional and non-traditional relationships, including monogamy, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, kink dynamics, mixed-orientation relationships, and other alternative relationship structures. I also work with couples who are exploring opening their relationship, whether for casual experiences, ongoing non-monogamy, or polyamory.

Some clients are questioning societal expectations about what relationships "should" look like, while others are seeking to strengthen and deepen a more traditional relationship. In either case, relationship therapy provides a supportive space to explore your needs, clarify your values, and create relationships that work for the people involved. Rather than focusing on what is considered "normal," we'll focus on communication, consent, trust, and intimacy.

Yes, I work with single parents, couples, and polycules navigating parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, co-parenting concerns, and differences in parenting approaches.

Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it can also bring stress, conflict, and uncertainty- especially when balancing multiple households, stepparent relationships, differing parenting styles, or the demands of raising children on your own.

Therapy provides a space to improve parenting skills like communication, navigate family transitions, strengthen co-parenting relationships, and develop practical tools for creating a more connected and supportive family environment.
