Frequently asked questions.
How does therapy work?
Healing often begins in relationships — especially the therapeutic one. Many of our struggles with anxiety, self-doubt, and perfectionism stem from past relational experiences, including childhood.
In therapy, a safe and supportive connection creates space to explore those patterns, heal attachment wounds, and build a more trusting relationship with yourself. Over time, this process fosters lasting growth, emotional relief, and greater ease in how you relate to yourself and others.

What types of issues do you specialize in?
I specialize in helping adults and millennials work through perfectionism, people pleasing tendencies, anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, and relationship struggles. My approach includes inner child work, trauma-informed care, culturally sensitive therapy, and relational healing.
How do I get started with therapy?
Start by scheduling a free 20-minute phone consultation. During that time, we’ll discuss your goals for therapy, explore whether we’re a good fit, and answer any questions you may have. If for any reason we’re not the right match, I’ll do my best to connect you with other trusted referrals.
How long is therapy and how often will we meet?
Therapy is most effective when attended consistently, once per week, especially in the beginning stages. Depending on the nature of what you’re working through and your goals, therapy can be short-term or long-term.
Some people begin to notice changes within just a few sessions, while others may benefit from deeper, ongoing work over time. My goal is never to keep you in therapy longer than necessary, but rather to support you in a way that is sustainable, empowering, and personalized to you.
What happens during the first session therapy?
The first session is like a gentle meet-and-greet, where we’ll start building our connection. I’ll go over consent and confidentiality (including its limitations), and we’ll begin exploring what’s bringing you to therapy at this time.
We’ll also discuss your goals, review any relevant history, and talk about how I can support you. You’re encouraged to ask any questions you may have about the therapy process, or about me and my approach. There’s no pressure—we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
What is the Good Faith Estimate?
If you’re not using insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of your care. This estimate is provided in writing at least 1 business day before services begin.
If you receive a bill that is $400 or more than your estimate, you can dispute the charge.
