Frequently Asked Questions

  • I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, postpartum and reproductive mental health challenges, and those who feel stuck in perfectionism or people-pleasing patterns.

  • IFS is an evidence-based, compassionate approach that helps you explore and understand the different “parts” of yourself. These might be the worried, critical, or protective parts. With this awareness, you can feel more balanced and connected.

  • Both. I offer in-person sessions in the St. Louis area, as well as telehealth for clients anywhere in Missouri.

  • You can reach out by phone, email, or through my contact form. I’ll get back to you to discuss availability and next steps.

  • Currently, I am not in-network with any insurance companies. I can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

  • Therapy is both a time and energy commitment, for you, and for me. To show up with the focus and presence you deserve, I keep my caseload limited. My rate reflects not only the training and experience I bring, but also the care it takes to create a space where healing work can really happen.

    I understand therapy is an investment, and I’m happy to talk through what support could look like for you.

  • Our first session will be 90 minutes, giving us extra space to slow down and begin getting to know each other. I’ll ask a mix of questions about your background, current concerns, and hopes for therapy, while also explaining confidentiality and how the process works. You’re always free to share at your own pace. Nothing has to be rushed or “perfect.” By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer sense of your goals and how we might move forward together.

  • Sessions are typically 50 minutes. Extended sessions (75 and 90 minutes) may be available upon request. Most clients begin with weekly sessions, which allows us to establish consistency and make steady progress. Over time, we may adjust the frequency as your needs change.

  • Therapy is most effective when it has rhythm and continuity. Weekly sessions help us stay connected to the work, build momentum, and go deeper without losing focus. Spreading sessions further apart can sometimes slow progress. If weekly therapy feels financially out of reach, it may be better to work with someone whose fee allows for that consistency, because your growth deserves steady support.

  • There’s no single timeline for therapy. Some people come for just a few months to focus on a specific concern, while others stay longer to work through deeper patterns or ongoing support. We’ll regularly check in together about your goals and progress so that therapy lasts as long as it feels helpful and meaningful to you. My hope is that therapy becomes a space you can return to from time to time throughout your life; a steady resource whenever you need it.

  • That’s okay. Many people feel unsure at first. You’re welcome to schedule a consultation call to see if we’d be a good fit before committing.

  • Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. There are a few legal and ethical exceptions, which we’ll review together in our first session.
