Frequently Asked Questions
Session Fees
For couples, longer sessions are often helpful, especially in the early stages of therapy when there's more to untangle and more ground to cover. Once we've built momentum, many couples transition to 50-minute sessions.
For individuals, extended sessions may occasionally be recommended during deeper trauma work, especially when using methods like EMDR, Brainspotting, or other memory-processing approaches. We'll always talk together about what feels right and what will support your goals most effectively.
Insurance & Reimbursement
I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. However, I'm happy to provide you with a superbill, a special receipt you can submit to your insurance company to request possible reimbursement. Not all plans offer out-of-network coverage, so I encourage you to check with your provider if that's something you're considering.
Many clients find that paying privately allows them to:

No, I do not offer conversion therapy. My work is affirming, trauma-informed, and supportive of LGBTQIA+ identities and relationships. Therapy is focused on helping clients better understand themselves, heal emotional wounds, improve relationships, and build a healthier connection with their sexuality and identity.
It varies. Some people need just one session to get what they need. More typically, people see their therapist weekly over several months. We'll discuss your goals early on, though, and keep track of progress together.
Not at all. Whether you're religious, spiritual-but-not-religious, or fully secular - you're welcome here.
I work with both. Some people come to therapy alone to explore their own healing; others come with their partner to work on improving connection and communication. We'll decide together what makes the most sense for your situation.
Absolutely. This work is about your relationship with yourself first and foremost, whether or not you have a partner.
Nope! We'll explore your full life context - including relationships, identity, self-worth, and more.
Yes! I work with clients via secure telehealth throughout Ohio and West Virginia.
In addition to traditional talk therapy, I use a range of evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches tailored to your needs. These include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Brainspotting, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Havening Techniques, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and more.
These methods help process trauma, release stuck emotions, and create meaningful change beyond just talking about it. With couples, I rely heavily on the work of the Gottmans, Sue Johnson, and Terrence Real. And often, couples therapy itself is a really good form of trauma therapy.

Many clients experience meaningful shifts in how they view and experience sex - often feeling freer, more confident, and less weighed down by shame. While everyone's journey is different, this work is designed to support that kind of change.
Yes - confidentiality is essential and legally protected, with rare exceptions, which I'll explain upfront.
Absolutely. All identities, orientations, and expressions within the LGBTQIA+ community are welcome and affirmed here. And I do not offer or promote "conversion therapy." This is a space where you can show up fully as yourself - without judgment or the need to explain who you are.
