FAQ

What can I expect during my visits with you?

Sessions are 50 minutes and held at a consistent, regularly scheduled time.

Our work together is a space where you can speak freely and openly, without judgment or pressure to perform. Therapy is less about having the ‘right’ insight and more about noticing what’s happening — internally and in relationship.

Over time, our work may include:

  • understanding what you’re seeking support with

  • noticing patterns that feel painful or hard to interrupt

  • becoming curious about where these patterns come from and what they may be protecting

  • gaining clarity about what feels possible, and whether change feels right for you

Sessions are typically held once per week. Consistency matters, as therapy is most effective when it becomes a reliable and protected space rather than something fit in around everything else. Frequency and duration can be discussed together as needed.

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.
