Online therapy takes place through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You can join sessions from wherever you feel most comfortable — your home, your office, or another private space. All you need is a reliable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone. Many clients find online therapy more accessible and less stressful than commuting to an office.
Yes. Therapy is confidential, with a few standard legal exceptions related to safety that we’ll review together at the start. Creating a space that feels safe, private, and trustworthy is essential to this work, and I take confidentiality very seriously.
Therapy with me is conversational, collaborative, and grounded. Many people tell me it feels like sitting with a trusted friend who also happens to understand how the nervous system works. We move at a pace that feels safe, with space for humor, honesty, and curiosity. You don’t need to have the “right” words or a perfectly clear goal — we figure things out together.
That’s completely okay — and very common. You don’t need to come in with an agenda or a clear plan. Sometimes we start by talking about what’s been feeling heavy, confusing, or frustrating lately. Other times, we notice what’s showing up in the room in real time. Not knowing where to begin is often part of the work, not a problem.
Absolutely. Many of the women I work with are high-functioning on the outside and struggling on the inside. You don’t have to be in crisis for therapy to be helpful. Therapy can support you in understanding what’s driving the overwhelm, reducing anxiety or burnout, and feeling more grounded and confident — even if you’re “doing well” by external standards.
Individual therapy sessions are 45 minutes and are offered at $200 per session.
Most clients start with weekly sessions to build momentum and consistency. Over time, some people choose to meet biweekly or adjust frequency based on their needs and goals. We’ll decide together what feels supportive and sustainable for you.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people come to therapy for a specific concern and stay for a shorter period of time, while others choose to work together longer as they move through different seasons of life. We check in regularly about what feels helpful and adjust as needed. Therapy isn’t meant to be endless — it’s meant to support you where you are.
Therapy focuses on emotional well-being, mental health, and the impact of past and present experiences on how you feel and function. Coaching is typically more goal- and action-oriented. While there can be overlap, therapy allows for deeper emotional processing, nervous system work, and support around anxiety, trauma, and long-standing patterns. We can talk together about what type of support feels like the best fit for you.
The first step is scheduling a free consultation. This is a low-pressure space to ask questions, share a bit about what’s bringing you in, and see if working together feels like a good fit. From there, we’ll talk about next steps at a pace that feels right for you.
Individual therapy sessions are 45 minutes in length and are offered at $200 per session.
