FAQs
What is your approach to therapy?

Do you accept insurance?

Do I need to be a person of color or LGBTQ+ individual to work with you?

Although, I have a special interest in working with women of color, LGBTQ+ folks, and adult survivors of childhood trauma— I am happy to work with individuals from all identities.
How do I become a client?
5
I ask all prospective clients to chat for a free 30-minute phone consultation. During this time we will talk about what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’re looking for in a therapist. If things feel aligned, then we can schedule you for ongoing weekly appointments.
What is your cancelation policy?
6
I offer a 24 hour cancelation policy. I ask that clients cancel at least 24 hours otherwise a cancellation fee of $100 applies.
How long does therapy usually last?

The length of therapy depends on your individual needs and goals. I recommend clients commit to at least 3 months of regular sessions to witness growth and change. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we’ll regularly review your progress and adjust as needed.
