Message to clients

Starting therapy is a courageous step, and I want you to know that this space is yours to explore, grow, and heal at your own pace. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can openly discuss your experiences and challenges, knowing that you’ll be met with empathy and understanding, accountability, and maybe a bit of (appropriate) irreverence. Whether you’re dealing with daily stress, deeper emotional concerns, or seeking personal growth, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

In our sessions, I blend mindfulness-based techniques with evidence-based therapies, including psychedelic-assisted approaches like Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as deemed appropriate. This combination allows us to tailor our work together to meet your unique needs and goals. I believe in the power of therapy to help you connect more deeply with yourself, navigate life’s complexities, and find greater fulfillment.

I look forward to working with you and being a part of your journey toward a more balanced and meaningful life.

Therapist's note

My practice is self-pay, as I have chosen to not be paneled with any insurance providers, other than the Lyra and Modern Health employer benefits programs.

However you are very likely eligible to use your out-of-network (OON) benefits to get some or ALL of your money back! I have partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through OON benefits.

Mentaya is perfect for you if you:

• Have out of network benefits (most do)

• Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance

• Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!
