Frequently Asked Questions

Three main areas:
1. OCD therapy using ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), the most effective evidence-based treatment available;
2. Anxiety & Trauma therapy, drawing on DBT, CBT, and EMDR; and
3. Death Doula / End-of-Life Care, offering non-medical support through advance care planning, compassionate companionship, legacy projects, and caregiver or bereavement support.
*The doula work isn't separate from my therapy practice. It's shaped how I understand grief, meaning, and what people actually need when things get existential, and that shows up across all my work. -
Getting started is simple. Reach out through my contact form to set up a free consultation call. We'll talk about what's bringing you in and whether we're the right fit. If we’re not, I’ll provide referrals for other providers that may be a better fit for you.

OCD is often misunderstood, even by some clinicians, and I treat it as a primary focus using ERP rather than folding it into general anxiety work. On top of that, my background as a death doula means I'm not afraid of the conversations most people tend to avoid: mortality, meaning, what happens when life gets existential. That perspective runs through how I treat OCD, anxiety, and trauma too. I'm not interested in generic. I'm interested in what's actually going on with you and what’s going to help you.

Starting January 1, 2027, I work entirely private pay, offered in tiers because I understand cost isn’t a one-size-fits-all. You pick the tier that fits, no financial documents, no proving anything to me. I trust you to know your own budget.
If your insurance plan offers out-of-network reimbursement, I've also built a step-by-step page that walks you through submitting a superbill yourself, so you can pursue getting some of that cost back without me sitting in the middle of your insurance relationship, or your personal data sitting in their systems.

Collaborative, direct, warm, and humorous. I won't dance around hard topics, mortality, intrusive thoughts, grief, whatever you're actually carrying, and I also won't rush you. Getting an accurate read on what's really going on matters more to me than jumping straight to technique.
I’m here to help you feel more healed and empowered. I’m here to counsel myself out of a job!
