Common Questions

Counseling is for anyone longing to live more truthfully—who senses there’s more to life, more to love, and more to themselves than the patterns they’ve been surviving.

Whether you’re unraveling old beliefs, navigating grief or transition, questioning your identity, or simply craving a space where you don’t have to perform—this work is for you.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about making room for the real you to emerge. Together, we create a space where your honesty is sacred, your wholeness is welcomed, and your healing doesn’t have to fit inside anyone’s timeline but your own.

No two sessions are the same—because no two stories are the same. Our time together will be shaped by you—your pace, your truth, and what’s rising in you that day.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes long, though some clients choose extended sessions or more frequent support when they’re in the thick of something big. Some come to work through a specific moment of crisis or transition. Others stay longer to explore deeper healing, personal transformation, or soul reclamation.

This is not a space where you perform or strive to get it “right.” It’s a space where you can exhale. Where we meet what’s real, together.

At times, I may offer reflections, practices, or prompts to explore between sessions—books, rituals, or journaling to support your unfolding. But always in a spirit of invitation, not pressure.

The most meaningful work happens when you show up as you are—open, curious, and willing to gently meet yourself in new ways. I’ll be with you in it—attuned, steady, and holding the vision of who you’re becoming, even when you can’t quite see it yet.

Counseling can be profoundly effective when you’re ready to show up honestly, with a desire to heal, grow, and be deeply known.

Research confirms what many of us already feel in our bones: when therapy is grounded in attuned relationship and presence, it can lead to lasting transformation. It helps not just with reducing symptoms like anxiety or depression, but with reclaiming your voice, rewriting inner narratives, and building a life that actually feels like yours.

While there are evidence-based tools woven in, what makes therapy truly effective is the sacred space we create together: one where your truth is honored, your story is held with care, and your healing unfolds in its own time.

I don’t work directly with insurance companies or file claims on your behalf, and I’m not on any insurance panels. However, some clients choose to use their out-of-network benefits to get reimbursed for sessions.

If this is something you’re hoping to pursue, I’m happy to support you with the documentation you’ll need. You’ll be responsible for submitting any forms to your provider, and I’ll complete the sections related to our work together. Just know that insurance companies typically require a mental health diagnosis and treatment details in order to process reimbursement. I’ll only share that information with your written permission, and I’m always open to discussing what’s being submitted.

That said, once information is released to an insurance provider, it becomes part of their system—and I can’t guarantee how they’ll use or store it. If you prefer to keep your work entirely private and off the insurance record, paying out of pocket may be the best option.

Regardless of how you choose to proceed, I’m here to walk you through it with clarity and care.

Yes—what you share in therapy is held with the utmost care and confidentiality. This space is built on trust, and I honor your right to speak freely without fear of judgment or exposure.

That said, there are a few legally mandated exceptions where I’m required to break confidentiality to ensure safety and protection. These include:

1. If I believe you’re at serious risk of harming yourself or someone else.

2. If there’s suspected abuse, neglect, or molestation of a child, which I’m legally obligated to report.

3. If your records are subpoenaed as part of a legal proceeding.

In rare situations where maintaining confidentiality might actually be harmful to you, I’ll speak with you directly about my concerns. You’ll be part of that conversation, and—outside of legal requirements—you’ll have a say in what happens next.

My priority is always to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and respected.
