I can simplify the process by checking your out-of-network benefits for you. Here are some additional questions to ask your insurance provider:

• Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health coverage?

• Am I able to use these benefits for telehealth?

• What is my out-of-network deductible?

• How much of my deductible has been met this year?

• What is my coinsurance? (What percentage does the plan cover?)

• Is there a limit on the number of sessions my plan will cover per year?

• Do I need a referral from an in-network provider to see someone out-of-network?

Choosing to see an out-of-network provider can give you access to therapists with advanced training and specialization, more flexible scheduling, or a therapist whose approach is the best fit for your needs. It can also offer more privacy if you prefer not to use insurance benefits at all, or if you want greater control over what is shared with your insurance company.

Navigating insurance can feel overwhelming and definitely confusing but I'm here to make it easier. Here’s what to know:

Finding the right therapist is one of the most important part of the process.

We may be a good fit if you:

• Are an emerging adult or woman who feels stuck in cycles of overthinking, perfectionism, anxiety, or people-pleasing.

• Feel open to being gently challenged and encouraged to step outside your comfort zone.

• Are looking to understand the roots of your patterns and what drives your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

• Want to build a genuine, supportive therapeutic relationship where you can be yourself, laugh, embrace imperfection while learning evidence-based strategies.

• Appreciate a collaborative approach where your goals and experiences guide the work.

Every journey is different, and there’s no set timeline. Some clients find what they need in a few months, while others continue longer to work on new goals or to have a consistent space to process week-to-week challenges. We can tailor sessions to fit your needs and schedule, whether that’s weekly, biweekly, or monthly.

I aim to provide support for as long as it’s helpful, and many clients find ongoing value in a longer-term relationship. Some step away for a while and return later when life feels more challenging. I'm always happy to hear from past clients, whether to resume therapy or just to share a life update.

To get started, you can schedule a free 20-minute consultation by phone or video through Calendly link, contact form, or simply email me to set it up. During this consultation, we can talk a little further about what’s going on in your life, I can share my approach, and I’ll answer any questions you may have. This will give us a chance to get to know each other and see if we might be a good fit! In our first session, we’ll complete a full intake where we dive deeper into your history, goals, and challenges, so we can create a plan that’s tailored to your needs.
