FAQ

What can I expect during my visits with you?

My hope is that, over time, you feel able to bring more of yourself into our work—the parts you know well and those you do not yet know or understand. We also pay attention to how you experience me and our work together at different times. You may feel understood in one moment and unheard in another, welcome my thoughts or find yourself holding back. Exploring these changing moments together can help us understand feelings and expectations that arise in your other relationships, including those you may not yet recognize.

Sessions are 50 minutes, and we meet at least weekly at a consistent, regularly scheduled time. This rhythm helps our work become a reliable space where understanding can develop over time. We discuss frequency and duration together.

Do you accept Insurance?

I do not accept insurance and am considered an out-of-network provider.

Depending on your plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. I’m happy to provide a superbill for submission to your insurance company for reimbursement or toward your deductible.

What is your theoretical orientation?

I practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which focuses on understanding emotional patterns, relationships, and unconscious processes over time.

Rather than emphasizing quick solutions, this work pays attention to thoughts, feelings, bodily reactions, and relational dynamics as they unfold — including what happens between us in the therapy itself. Often, the same patterns that cause difficulty elsewhere begin to show up here in subtle but meaningful ways.

In the steady and reflective space of therapy, these patterns can be explored with care. Over time, this understanding can create more flexibility and choice — not by forcing change, but by allowing something new to emerge.

Many people are drawn to this kind of work when they find themselves wanting a deeper, more reflective space to understand what they’re experiencing.
