My Therapy Approach

SAFETY

Laying a foundation of safety is paramount to growth and change. Let’s learn more about your patterns and strengths.
REFLECT

Next, you’ll reflect on what habits and patterns be blocking you. We will work together to challenge sand learn how to overcome these obstacles.
create

The last step? We learn how to continually create our best self. Think of this as writing our new beginning.

Lived Experience Meets Clinical Skill

I don’t just understand chronic illness, trauma, and burnout from textbooks—I live it. This gives me a unique lens of empathy and practicality that supports real, sustainable change.

Why Work With Me

Direct + Compassionate Care

You won’t just vent in sessions—we’ll get to work. I offer clear feedback, structured tools, and tangible takeaways while honoring your pace and boundaries.

We’ll explore how childhood stories, health experiences, and societal messaging shaped how you see yourself—and we’ll work together to rewrite the script.

I've partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.

Mentaya is perfect if you:
• Have out-of-network benefits
• Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance
• Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement
• Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!

Here's how it works:
1. Sign up for Mentaya: https://mentaya.co/inviteclient/KCaWVfCH2cIThqEee1QF
2. My practice will enter your sessions into the platform.
3. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up.
4. You get reimbursed by insurance!

Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required,
dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.

It's risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a foundation in session while also utilizing techniques in Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness and Somatic Exercises.
I am currently accepting clients on the following line-only therapy platforms:
