Yes. Everything shared in therapy stays between us, with only a few legal exceptions: if you’re in danger, if someone else is, or if a court order requires disclosure. Beyond that, your story belongs to you.

No. Sessions are never recorded or shared. The goal is to create a space where you can speak freely, without fear of playback or review.

Yes. Sessions are held through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. I recommend you take your session from a private space with a stable connection. The quality of our conversation depends more on your focus than your Wi-Fi speed.

I’m licensed to see clients who are physically located in the state where I’m licensed at the time of session. If you’re traveling, we’ll discuss whether a session is appropriate or if we should pause until you return.

Titles matter less than training. Therapists and counselors provide talk therapy. Psychologists can test and diagnose. Psychiatrists prescribe medication. Life coaches aren’t licensed clinicians. My role: therapy that’s conversational, evidence-based, and built for change.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) currently earning my Doctorate in Social Work (DSW), with advanced postgraduate training in psychotherapy. My work draws from relational, existential, and evidence-based approaches—always tailored to real life, not textbook models.

No. I’m private-pay only. This keeps therapy grounded in what works—not in what insurance companies approve.

Rates are listed on the Payments page. Therapy is a financial investment, but more importantly, it’s an investment in clarity and change.

In-person sessions are the foundation of my practice. Telehealth is available on a limited basis—for assessments and select therapy cases when in-person isn’t feasible.

Chemistry matters. Book a consultation call. You’ll know quickly if the fit feels right.

Availability varies, but new clients are often seen within one to two weeks of consultation.

Cancellations require 48 hours’ notice. Missed sessions without notice are billed in full—consistency is part of the work.

Invoices are available in the client portal along with the superbills. Superbills are generated automatically at the end of the month, and invoices are available after each session.

It means I’m not paneled with your insurance, but you may still receive partial reimbursement for sessions.

Insurance companies require a clinical diagnosis to process claims. This is one reason I prefer direct pay—it allows us to focus on you, not codes.

If you file for reimbursement, your insurer sees the diagnosis, session dates, and fee—not your private session content.

It means I can submit claims on your behalf if your plan allows. Reimbursement still goes directly to you.

Payment is due at the time of session, via card stored securely in your client portal.

Rates are transparent and listed publicly on the Payments page. No surprises.

Yes, you’ll complete intake paperwork through a secure client portal before your first session.

Ask your insurer: What are my out-of-network mental health benefits? What is my deductible? What percentage is reimbursed per session? Then we can go from there.

I work with people who have outgrown the coping patterns that once got them through. Folks who’ve tried therapy before, but want more than insight—they want traction. My clients are often queer, ambitious, creative, and carrying more responsibility than they admit. They’re sharp, self-aware, and ready to stop living on autopilot.

My focus is individual therapy. When needed, I collaborate with partners or family members as part of your work—but my primary commitment is to your personal clarity and growth.

Perfect. You don’t need a polished identity to begin. We’ll explore the parts of you that feel in flux and work toward integration—not performance.

I specialize in identity, meaning, and transition—the moments when life feels too small or too big. This includes anxiety, burnout, overthinking, perfectionism, relationship strain, and the quiet ache of knowing you want more.

Yes. My practice is unapologetically queer-affirming. I’ve built Queer Talk Therapy as a space where you don’t have to translate yourself or edit your truth.

Many of my clients don’t. The method works for anyone drawn to deeper, braver conversations about their life and patterns.

Yes—but not through symptom-chasing or retraumatization. We work relationally: staying present, curious, and anchored in your capacity to rebuild trust with yourself.

Yes. I provide gender-affirming letters and psychological evaluations when appropriate. These are handled with the same integrity and depth as therapy sessions.
