Counseling Services
Trauma Work
For people who have experienced acute trauma (one-time events, such as a car accident) or “chronic trauma'“ which may be challenges in early life/attachment, negative experiences in childhood, or trauma from harmful relationships, such as emotional abuse or narcissistic abuse. Together we will work on healing from your experiences, develop coping tools to keep you grounded, and explore a more hopeful future.
Relationship Issues
For people struggling in relationships, such as with friendships, coworkers, family members, partner, or parent-child relationships. We will explore the dynamics, identify healthy boundaries, and learn how to show up in a way that builds more positive connections with others.
Anxiety and Depression
If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, this may look like “spinning” thoughts, difficulty being in the present, feeling a lack of confidence, experiencing low mood, lack of interest in daily activities, or difficulty connecting to others. We will explore potential causes and develop a plan for addressing these challenges.
Adjustment to Life Transitions
You may be experiencing significant changes in roles at work or home, caretaking of older parents and children, experiencing grief and mourning, or job stress/burnout. We will explore ways to focus your energy on what’s important, stay aligned with your values, and make more space for yourself.

Insurance Coverage
I do not take or bill insurance directly, but you may be able to receive reimbursement from your insurance company. Here’s how: Guide to Seeking Reimbursement.
Good Faith Estimates
In compliance with the No Surprises Act that goes into effect January 1, 2022, all healthcare providers are required to notify patients of their Federal rights and protections against “surprise billing.”
This Act requires that I notify you of your federally protected rights to receive a notification when services are rendered by an out-of-network provider, if a patient is uninsured, or if a patient elects not to use their insurance.
Additionally, I am required to provide you with a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of services. It is difficult to determine the true length of treatment for mental health care, and each patient has a right to decide how long they would like to participate in mental health care. Therefore, you will be provided with a fee schedule for the services typically offered by me, and we will collaborate on a regular basis to determine how many sessions you may need.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Disclaimer
Any Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. It is a best advised estimate, but estimates may change over the course of therapy and the changing needs for treatment. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during assessment/treatment.
