Starting therapy can bring up a lot of questions.

Yes. Many people begin this way.

Starting with one session allows you to get a feel for how I work and whether this feels like a space where you can open up. There’s no pressure, you’re simply beginning a conversation.

Sessions are held regularly—typically 3 times per month at a consistent day and time.

Consistency is especially important when working through grief, abandonment, and emotional overwhelm. Meeting regularly creates a steady space where you don’t have to carry everything on your own between sessions.

This model is intentional.

The fourth week serves as an integration week, a pause that allows your nervous system space to process, reflect, and settle.

Healing doesn’t only happen in conversation.
It also happens in the space between sessions.

You’re welcome to use that time for journaling, reflection, practicing new skills, or simply resting. If helpful, I can offer self-guided tools or prompts tailored to what we’re working on together. Some clients say this week is when the biggest "a-ha" moments happen.

This space often allows deeper emotional shifts to take place.

Yes, I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth through my practice management software, SimplePractice.

Virtual sessions are accessible through your browser or smart phone.

Yes, at my office in Phoenix, AZ located off the 101 & 7th Street.

I take appointments on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday each week from 9AM to 5PM.

I do not accept insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. I also accept HSA and FSA cards.

Many clients choose private pay because it allows for more personalized, consistent care without the limitations often required by insurance companies.

I keep a card on file to hold appointment times. Clients typically use this card for session fees, which my system charges automatically on the day of the appointment.

This varies from person to person.

Many clients begin noticing shifts within the first 5–10 sessions, but deeper work—especially around grief and abandonment—often takes time.

You’re never locked into a set number of sessions. We move at a pace that feels right for you.

Your session time is reserved specifically for you.

To support consistency and the depth of our work together, sessions are scheduled in advance and are not eligible for cancellation, rescheduling, or refund.

I hold this boundary with care—it helps create stability and accountability in the healing process.

That’s completely okay.

Many people feel unsure before starting, especially if they’ve been carrying things alone for a long time. The consultation is a space to ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and decide if this feels right for you.

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

Under the law, health care 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.

• 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 health care 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.
