Common Questions

FAQs

What type of clients do you work with? +

I work mainly with high-performing individuals who are navigating personal or professional transitions, relationship issues, leadership challenges, or those who simply have a desire for deeper fulfillment and want to work toward actualizing their maximum potential. This includes executives, entrepreneurs, creatives, founders, athletes, and leaders operating in high-stakes environments.

However, I work well with all kinds of individuals who are willing to explore their inner world and ready to take responsibility for their growth. My approach is best suited for those who are willing to be honest with themselves and explore their patterns, even if it's uncomfortable at times.

Do you accept insurance? +

At this time, I am private pay only. However, I can provide a monthly invoice (Superbill) for you to submit to your insurance provider if you have out-of-network benefits. Please note that reimbursement varies based on your plan, so I encourage you to contact your insurance company directly to determine your specific coverage.

Do you offer sliding scale fees? +

I offer a limited number of sliding-scale spots for clients who are unable to afford my full fee. Reduced rates are determined based on financial need and availability. If you would like to be considered, please reach out to discuss your circumstances.

What is your cancellation policy? +

I require at least 24 hours to cancel an appointment free of charge. Cancellations within 24 hours of the scheduled session time, as well as no-shows, will be charged the full session fee to the card on file. If scheduling permits, you may be able to reschedule free of charge within the same week.

How long will I be in therapy? +

Therapy is highly individualized. Some clients work short-term around specific goals, while others engage in longer-term, deeper exploration. Due to the nature of my work and my depth-oriented approach, I tend to work with clients in the long-term. We will discuss your needs and pace together.

Why invest in therapy? +

Therapy is an investment in yourself—in your emotional well-being, relationships, success, and long-term quality of life. Meaningful change requires time, consistency, and a willingness to explore your inner world with honesty. The work we do together is designed to support lasting transformation, and the investment you make reflects the depth and intention of that process.

Do you offer in-person sessions? +

My practice is fully virtual at this time. Sessions are held via Zoom.

Do you offer 1:1 coaching? +

I offer non-clinical individual and relationship coaching for clients worldwide.

My personalized coaching services are designed to empower you to cultivate self-awareness, enhance your emotional intelligence, and build stronger, more meaningful connections.

I also support couples, families, or business partners in developing more satisfying relational patterns, communication skills, conflict resolution abilities, or seeking to enhance intimacy.

Coaching is not therapy. It is a non-clinical process focused on your goals and personal development, rather than addressing diagnosable mental health conditions.

If at any point therapeutic support is needed, I will assist with referrals to the appropriate professionals.

How do I get started? +

Please schedule a free initial 15 minute phone consultation with me to get started. This is an opportunity for us to begin to determine whether working together is a good fit prior to scheduling an initial appointment.
