Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of clients do you work with?
I work primarily with adults and millennials navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, identity issues, and burnout. I specialize in supporting people from historically marginalized backgrounds, including BIPOC, first-gen, and those with complex trauma or systemic experiences (e.g., DCFS, community violence, immigration).
What therapy approaches do you use?
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). These approaches help clients connect with their values, build emotional flexibility, and treat themselves with more kindness—especially in the face of difficult emotions or past trauma. I will also use components from other modalities to tailor treatment specifically to your needs.
What can I expect in our first session?
The first session is a space for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and what you hope to get out of our work together. I’ll ask some questions, but you set the pace. It’s about building trust and creating a space where you feel safe to show up as you are.
How long is each session, and how often do we meet?
Sessions are typically 50 minutes long. Most clients start with weekly sessions, and we can adjust the frequency based on your needs and goals over time.
What are your rates?
My standard rate is $150 per 50-minute session. You may be provided a Superbill to receive reimbursement from your insurance company.
I also accept the insurances listed on the booking page.
What is a Superbill?
A superbill is a detailed receipt I can provide after each session. It includes all the information your insurance company needs if you would like to request reimbursement for therapy as an out-of-network benefit.
​
Here’s how it works:
You pay me directly for each session, and then you submit the superbill to your insurance provider. Depending on your plan, they may reimburse you for a portion of the cost. I’m happy to walk you through the process or help you figure out what questions to ask your insurance company.
I’m nervous about starting therapy. Is that normal?
Absolutely. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to holding it all together on your own. It’s okay to feel unsure. My role is to meet you where you are—with care, empathy, and no judgment. You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.
