What to Expect

Starting therapy is an act of courage — and care. Whether this is your first time seeking support
or you’re returning after a break, here’s what you can expect when working with me.

Starting Therapy: The Process

Initial Call

We begin with a free 15-minute phone consultation. This is a chance for you to share what’s bringing you in, ask questions, and get a feel for whether we’re a good fit.

Initial Consultation

Your first full session is a deeper conversation where we explore your story, concerns, and hopes for therapy. This session lays the foundation for our work together.

Goal Setting

After a few sessions, we’ll clarify your goals and agree on a direction. These goals can evolve over time — therapy is a collaborative and flexible process.

Ongoing Sessions

Sessions typically occur weekly or biweekly. We’ll move at your pace, working through challenges, identifying patterns, and celebrating growth. Therapy may be short-term or long- term, depending on your needs.

Payment & Insurance

Easy, Secure Payments

To simplify your experience, I accept payment via Venmo and ZELLE.

Facilitating Reimbursements

I can provide statements upon request to help you with reimbursement for my services. Just let me know if you need those..

Insurance & Receipts

I am an out-of-network provider. If you have insurance with out-of-network benefits, we’re happy to provide you with a superbill (a detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

Note: Coverage varies by plan — it’s best to contact your insurer directly to ask about out-of-network mental health benefits.

A Space for You

Therapy isn’t about fixing you — it’s about understanding you. Sessions are confidential, compassionate, and entirely centered on your experience. We honor your pace, your process, and your progress.
