How does teletherapy work?
Step 1
Schedule a free consult.
Complete the form to request a consultation. Consultations last 15-30 mins and give us a chance to get to know each a little better.
Step 2
We get to know each other.
We will discuss what you are hoping to get out of therapy, and determine if we are a good fit to work together.
Step 3
On Going Sessions.
We will determine a session frequency that fits your needs and your schedule. Each session we will pick a focus or continue where we left of last session.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Teleahealth means that we meet over a web-based video platform- not in person. One big perk is that you can be anywhere within a state that I am licensed and still meet with me for therapy. All you need is a stable internet connection and some privacy.
-
I utilize Simple Practice for my Telehealth platform and client records. Each client has access to their own private portal that allows them to complete paperwork, make appointments, pay for sessions, and join sessions.
-
Yes! A key part of developing a therapeutic relationship is being able to see each other. So cameras on!

I do not accept any insurance at this time. I will provide a Superbill should you wish to submit a claim to your insurance for OON reimbursement. I am a member of the Open Path Collective which I allows me to offer sliding scale- or reduced fee- sessions. You can learn more about Open Path or check your out of network benefits from the services pages: Individual Therapy or Couples Therapy

The Gottman Method of Couples Therapy is based on Dr. John Gottman’s research that began in the 1970’s and continues to this day. The research has focused on what makes relationships success of fail. From this research, Drs. John and Julie Gottman have created a method of therapy that emphasizes a “nuts-and-bolts” approach to improving clients’ relationships.
This method is designed to help teach specific tools to deepen friendship and intimacy in your relationship. To help you productively manage conflict, you will be given methods to manage “resolvable problems” and dialogue about “gridlocked” (or perpetual) issues. We will also work together to help you appreciate your relationship’s strengths and to gently navigate through its vulnerabilities.

“I am a systemic existential therapist. That means two things. First, I believe that the systems we interact with- our family, friends, partners, jobs, society- have an impact on us and we have an impact on them. Second, existentialism is a philosophy that says that every person has free will and therefore is responsible for their own lives. I want to help you find a sense of control, direction, and meaning in your life.”
