FAQ
What kinds of clients do you work with?
I work with individuals ages 16 and up. Many of my clients are healers, helping professionals, fellow therapists, overwhelmed parents, Highly Sensitive People, people-pleasers, women with ADHD, queer and trans folks, and others whose identities have been harmed or marginalized by dominant culture.
If you’re navigating chronic shame, identity exploration, relationship distress, struggling with boundaries, or feeling the weight of care work, you may find this to be a supportive space.
How often are sessions?
I meet with most clients on either a weekly or bi-weekly basis. During our initial intake call, we will discuss the most appropriate session frequency based on your needs. This will be a collaborative decision.
What approaches or modalities do you use?
My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Depending on your needs, I may also incorporate elements of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and trauma-informed mindfulness.
At its core, my approach is relational, parts-based, and focused on helping you disrupt patterns that no longer serve you.
Do you offer in-person or virtual sessions?
I currently offer virtual sessions to clients located in Illinois. While I don’t offer in-person sessions at this time, I plan to expand to in-person care in Chicago in 2026.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, I am in-network with Aetna, Cigna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois. I offer a flexible sliding scale for individuals who are self-pay and can provide monthly superbills if you’d like to use your out-of-network benefits.
Do you provide options for low income clients?
Yes. I offer flexible sliding scale options based on individual need. I also partner with Open Path Collective to provide accessible services to individuals who are uninsured or whose insurance doesn’t cover therapy. If you are interested in working together through Open Path, you can learn more and get started here.
Do you prescribe medication?
No. I’m not a medical doctor, so I don’t prescribe medication. Some of my clients find that medication is a helpful part of their healing, while others do well with therapy alone. If you’re interested in exploring medication, I can help you connect with a psychiatrist or you can talk to your primary care provider. If you're already taking medication, I'm happy to touch base with your prescriber (though this is not required).
