For licensure reasons, clients must be located in Minnesota or Wisconsin during the session.

Based in the Twin Cities, I hope to open a brick-and-mortar therapy office in the future!

Online therapy gives you the convenience of meeting wherever it’s most comfortable for you, without the commute. This could be at home or in the office. All you need is a private space and good internet connection. 

Whether you prefer the flexibility of online sessions or simply feel more comfortable discussing issues from the comfort of your home, online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy.

Sessions are conducted with a secure HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform. You don’t have to download anything to your computer and will receive a session link prior to every appointment. 

Available to residents across Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Not at this time!

The goal is to someday in the future have an office.

All sessions are $150.

All major credit cards, including Health Savings Account (HSA) cards are accepted.

When you first log into the client portal, you'll enter your payment information, which is then encrypted and securely stored. Payments are processed overnight on the day of service. You only need to update your payment information if it changes.

I do not accept insurance but can provide a statement you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

Choosing private pay for therapy offers greater privacy, flexibility, and control over your mental health care. Unlike insurance, which requires a diagnosis and may limit session length, frequency, and treatment approaches, private pay allows you to receive personalized therapy without restrictions. Your records remain completely confidential, avoiding the risk of a mental health diagnosis affecting future insurance, employment, or security clearances. Private pay also lets you choose the therapist and approach that best fit your needs, rather than being limited to in-network providers or insurance-approved treatments. Additionally, therapy for personal growth, stress management, and relationships, which insurance often does not cover, remains fully accessible. While private pay is an investment, it ensures uninterrupted, high-quality care without the frustrations of coverage denials, co-pays, or unexpected claim rejections. Many clients also use superbills for partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits, making private pay a flexible and effective choice.

In our first session, we’ll take the time to get to know each other and understand the challenges you’re facing. I want to hear about what’s bringing you to therapy—whether it’s anxiety, trauma, difficult relationships, or anything else weighing on your mind. You’ll be able to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, and there’s no rush to dive into the deepest parts of your story right away.

We’ll also go over the practical details, including informed consent, so you know exactly what to expect from our work together. I’ll explain how therapy works, what methods we might use, and answer any questions you have about the process. By the end of the session, we’ll start to have a clear direction for how we’ll move forward and a plan that’s tailored to your specific needs and goals. Most importantly, you’ll leave knowing you’ve taken the first step toward creating the change you’ve been looking for.

Honestly- that is entirely up to you! I have worked with some clients for years, while others I have seen only a few times.

However, it really depends on your specific situation and what you're looking to achieve. Think of therapy a bit like going to the gym. If you’re looking for quick relief from a specific issue, a few sessions can help you start feeling better, like getting in a few good workouts. But, if you want to make deeper, lasting changes, it usually takes more time. Some people feel significant relief after a handful of sessions, while others stay longer to work through deeper layers of their experiences. The more time we invest, the more we can explore and make those lasting changes. We’ll check in regularly to see how you’re feeling, and ultimately, the pace is up to you.

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, healthcare providers and healthcare facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal healthcare program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. 

Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 

• Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
