What if I’m nervous to start therapy?

It’s totally normal to be nervous about starting something new, so give yourself some credit for even considering giving it a try! The free consultation call is designed to talk through some initial nerves you may have, and I would love to hear how I can make the experience more comfortable for you.

In our first session, I’ll share details on what therapy can look like and we’ll collaborate on what approach works best for you. I work from a trauma-informed lens, so sessions will always go at your pace and I am highly attuned to when we need to slow things down or take time to regulate. I’m always open to questions or feedback to make your experience in therapy feel safe and meaningful for you.

Do you see clients for more than just burnout?

Yes, I have training and experience to address a wide range of mental health needs. Check out my Specialities page for more details and schedule a free consultation call if you’d like to see if I can support your needs.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes, as of now, I only offer virtual or telehealth sessions.

What are your fees?

You can find my fees on my Services & Fees page.

Therapy is an investment, and finances can be a real barrier. I offer a limited number of sliding scale openings for clients who need flexibility. If this resonates and cost feels uncertain, you’re welcome to reach out. We can explore what’s possible during our consultation.

What is your cancellation policy?

Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed without notice, will be charged the full session fee. If you do not arrive within 10 minutes of your scheduled start time and have not contacted me, the appointment will be considered a no-show and will be billed accordingly.

Do you provide clinical supervision?

Yes, I offer virtual, clinical supervision to social workers or associate-level therapists in California and Oregon. If you are located in the Portland area (e.g. Hillsboro, Beaverton, etc), I may be able to provide in-person supervision. Check out my Clinical Supervision page for more details or reach out to me directly with questions.
