Frequently Asked Questions
Fees & Payment
What are your therapy fees?
My fee is $240 for a 55-minute session. I also offer a $120, 45-minute Exploration Session for those who want to get a feel for working together first. Priority scheduling is available at higher rates, see the Fees page for full details.
How long are therapy sessions?
Individual sessions run 53 to 55 minutes.
Do you accept insurance?
No. I'm a private-pay provider and don't bill insurance directly. If you have out-of-network benefits, I'm happy to provide a monthly superbill you can submit for potential reimbursement. You can use our Thrizer benefits checker to get an instant estimate of your reimbursement before booking.
Do you offer a sliding scale or reduced-fee sessions?
No, I don't offer a sliding scale. My fee reflects a premium, depth-oriented, somatic approach rather than a volume-based practice model.
Do you accept Lyra?
Yes, whether you reach out through my website or the Lyra app, I can bill Lyra directly, and your sessions apply toward your allotted benefit. Sessions are still held over Google Meet rather than Lyra's built-in video platform.
Getting Started & Approach
What is your approach to therapy?
My approach integrates somatic awareness, attachment-informed therapy, and culturally attuned care. Therapy is paced intentionally to support sustained, meaningful change rather than quick fixes.
How often do clients typically meet?
Most clients meet weekly or biweekly, depending on their needs, capacity, and goals, frequency is discussed collaboratively.
How do I get started working with you?
You can begin by scheduling a consultation through the Book Consultation page, where you'll choose whether you're using Lyra or private pay. This lets us briefly connect and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
What is the Exploration Session?
It's a one-time, 45-minute, $120 appointment for anyone who isn't ready to commit to ongoing therapy yet, we focus on what feels most pressing right now so you can get a feel for how we might work together.

No. I provide individual therapy for adults only.
What issues do you help with?
Burnout, anxiety, overfunctioning, perfectionism, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, and the impact of cultural or intergenerational pressure.
