FAQs
-
You don’t have to be in crisis or even know exactly what’s wrong to come to therapy. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, repeating the same patterns, or simply realizing that something about the way you’re living or relating isn’t working anymore. We can figure out the rest together.
-
This is where you tell me your story. So, mostly, you talk and I listen. I’ll want to understand what brought you in, what’s happening in your life or relationship, and what you’d like to be different. You don’t need to show up with a perfectly organized story or know exactly where to begin—that’s part of my job.
-
I work from an attachment-based, neurodiversity-affirming lens and am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Rather than focusing only on symptoms or deciding who’s right and wrong, we look underneath what’s happening to understand the patterns, emotions, needs, and experiences driving it. In other words: unmask what’s really there, untangle what keeps you stuck, and see what can unfold.
-
Yes. I work with ADHD, autism, AuDHD, masking, burnout, executive functioning, sensory differences, identity, communication differences, and neurodiverse relationships. My goal isn’t to make you or your partner act more neurotypical. We figure out how your brain actually works and build strategies and relationships around the humans who are actually in the room.
-
No. You’re welcome whether you’re formally diagnosed, self-identified, questioning, or just starting to wonder whether neurodivergence might explain some of your experiences. You don’t need paperwork before you’re allowed to understand yourself.
-
I’m not there to referee your arguments or decide who wins. We identify the cycle the two of you keep getting pulled into, figure out what’s happening underneath it for each partner, and work toward a relationship where you can communicate more honestly and feel more secure and connected. This approach can be especially helpful when neurodivergence means the two of you experience or communicate about the world very differently.
-
YES! My practice is LGBTQ+ and gender affirming, including space for sexuality and gender identity exploration. You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly who you are or what label fits. Therapy can be somewhere to explore those questions without someone else deciding what the answer should be.
-
Yes. My practice is kink-aware, sex-positive, and affirming of polyamory and ethical non-monogamy. Your relationship or sexual structure isn’t automatically the problem, and you shouldn’t have to spend your sessions teaching your therapist the basics before you can talk about why you actually came to therapy.
-
Most people begin with weekly sessions because consistency helps us build momentum and get beyond the surface. There isn’t a predetermined amount of time you’re required to stay in therapy—we’ll talk about your goals and progress along the way and adjust when it makes sense.
-
You probably can’t know from a website, and I don’t expect you to. That’s exactly why I offer consultations. We’ll talk briefly about what’s bringing you to therapy, you can ask me whatever you want about how I work, and we can get a feel for whether working together makes sense.
-
I’ve chosen not to work directly with insurance companies because I want you, not your insurance plan, to be at the center of decisions about your therapy.
Insurance often requires a mental health diagnosis and may place limitations on what it considers medically necessary, how services are documented, or what kinds of care it will reimburse.
Working outside of insurance gives us more flexibility to focus on what actually brought you to therapy, whether that’s your relationship, neurodivergence, identity, sexuality, intimacy, or simply wanting to understand yourself better.
If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may still be able to receive partial reimbursement for therapy. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company, but reimbursement is determined by your individual plan.
Your therapy should be shaped by what you need, not by what fits neatly into a billing code.
