Frequently Asked Questions

I always hope that our work will feel authentic, warm, and like we’re two experts exploring and collaborating on how to make the best changes for your own life. The most authentic work to me is also sex-positive, anti-racist, and fat liberation-based!

By taking a look together at your current and past sources of stress, identifying specific coping strategies for these stressors, and exploring internal monologues about yourself, your body, emotions, and relationships that are no longer helping you, I hope that therapy will help you have a better understanding of your experiences AND how to best manage future stress when it arises.

At this time, I am seeing all clients virtually via a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.

Yes! I am in-network with United Healthcare/Optum, Geisinger Health Plan, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, and most other state BCBS plans.
If you don’t have these insurance plans but would still like to work together, you may be eligible for reimbursement of out-of-network therapy costs! Check out the “Insurance and Fees” page to learn more about reimbursement for therapy costs. -
For private pay clients, I charge $250 for the intake session and for 55-minute sessions. I also charge $200 for 45-minute sessions.

Such a good question! My training and specialization allow me to provide especially effective therapy for these identities and concerns, but this is not an exclusive VIP list. I also deeply love my work with non-queer, non-millennial, and non-female clients!
If you have any concerns, we will always discuss over email/phone to assess if I am the best fit for your therapy needs. If I’m not, I’ll provide referrals to point you in the right direction.

Once you fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page, I will respond to you via email typically within 48 hours! At that time, we’ll schedule a free 15-min phone consultation to talk about what’s bringing you into therapy and the goals you might have, assess if I’m a good fit for your needs, and answer any questions. Then we’ll get scheduled for a full intake, typically within the next week!
