What can I expect from counseling sessions?
Each session is a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I use a compassionate and culturally responsive approach to help you work through challenges, build resilience, and achieve your goals.

What types of issues can counseling help with?
I provide support for a wide range of concerns, including:

• Stress and anxiety

• Trauma and PTSD

• Relationship challenges

• Identity exploration

• Life transitions

• Self-esteem and self-worth

• Grief and loss

No issue is too big or small—if it’s important to you, it’s worth exploring.

Payments and Insurance

Do you accept insurance?
I currently accept Aetna, offer cash pay options for therapy sessions, and can provide a SuperBill for reimbursement if needed. I’m committed to making counseling accessible, so if cost is a concern, please reach out to discuss potential options. In the future, I plan to accept insurance, including Optum and subsidiaries. Stay tuned for updates!

How much do sessions cost?
My current rates are:

• Initial Intake Session (75 minutes): $200

• Ongoing Therapy Sessions (50 minutes): $175

For clients using Aetna insurance (and subsidiaries), I partner with Alma, who will verify your benefits and show you your exact costs before we begin.

If you have any questions about fees, insurance, or payment options, I’m happy to talk it through during your free 15-minute consultation

Do you offer sliding scale fees?
I strive to make counseling accessible. If cost is a concern, please reach out to discuss potential options.

Session Details

Are sessions in-person or virtual?
I currently offer virtual sessions only to make counseling more accessible and convenient for you. Sessions are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms to ensure your privacy and confidentiality.

How long is a session?
Each session lasts 50 minutes.

How often will we meet?
The frequency of sessions depends on your goals and needs. Many clients find weekly sessions helpful at the beginning, but we can adjust as needed.

What should I expect in the first session?
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We’ll discuss your goals for counseling, go over any concerns or questions, and create a plan tailored to your needs.

Technology and Virtual Sessions

What platform do you use for virtual sessions?
I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to ensure your privacy and confidentiality during sessions.

What equipment do I need for a virtual session?
You’ll need a stable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone (e.g., smartphone, tablet, or computer), and a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable.

What if I have technical difficulties?
I understand that technology can sometimes be tricky! If issues arise, we’ll troubleshoot together or reschedule if needed.

Getting Started

What is a consultation?
A consultation is a 15-20 minute introductory session where we’ll discuss your needs, goals, and questions about counseling. It’s an opportunity to see if we’re a good fit to work together and to learn more about how I can support you. Consultations are conducted virtually and are designed to help you feel confident about starting your therapy journey.
