Frequently Asked Questions

  • Person-centered and relational therapy means meeting you exactly where you are—without judgment—and customizing our work to fit your unique needs. In any given session, that might look like using mindfulness, somatic grounding, or concrete tools from CBT, ACT, and DBT.

    This approach is rooted in a simple truth: connection is central to mental health. Our nervous systems evolved to thrive within tribes, families, and close-knit villages, but today, that kind of built-in connection can be hard to find.

    In our sessions, the relationship we build acts as its own supportive space—a live laboratory to practice trust, work through misunderstandings, and experience genuine healing. It’s a remarkably powerful and transformative dynamic to work with.

  • This varies by each person’s needs, but typically clients start weekly for the first 3-6 months until we reassess. I operate under a firmly collaborative approach where therapist is the professional, but the client is the expert in their lived experience.

  • Great question - plans vary. Check for any possible benefits using our easy on-site calculator.

  • Insurance companies only cover therapy when it is deemed "medically necessary" to treat an individual mental health disorder. To bill insurance or generate a superbill, one partner would have to be assigned a formal psychiatric diagnosis on their permanent medical record.

    In our work, the relationship is the client—not one "identified patient." To protect your medical privacy, avoid pathologizing either partner, and keep our focus purely on relational dynamics, couples therapy and intensives are strictly private pay.

  • If my practice fees are currently outside of your budget, I highly recommend checking out Open Path Collective, which provides excellent somatic and relational care at reduced sliding-scale rates.
