      <image:title>Services &amp; Fees</image:title>
      <image:caption>Services and Fees: 50-minute individual therapy session- $160 70-minute individual therapy session (optional, sometimes helpful for brainspotting)- $220 At this time, I am unable to directly accept insurance. However, I can provide you with a bill for reimbursement, if your insurance offers any coverage for therapy. I do accept FSA/HSA (Flexible Savings Account/Health Spending Account) cards if they are with Visa or MasterCard. Sliding scale fees are available for a limited number of clients. **Note: Currently, all usual sliding scale spots are filled (updated January 2026). However, I do sometimes offer an income-based sliding scale for Brainspotting-focused work. Brainspotting can be very effective for addressing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, OCD, PTSD/CPTSD, and depression (see more under “Therapy Approach").

      <image:title>Therapy Approach - Therapeutic Approach My approach to therapy is collaborative and aims to celebrate your unique personhood. We will honor who you are—in context, culture, history, and more—and what your preferences may be for engaging in healing work. In our shared space, we will come together to address any issues you may be experiencing, for instance pertaining to: anxiety, depression, trauma, work-life balance, relationships, identity, fatigue/burnout, self-esteem, search for meaning/purpose, boundaries and more. Our time together will likely integrate multiple therapeutic approaches, such as the following listed below. However, the average session may feel organic and informal, centering your everyday feelings and reflections. Talk therapy to identify and explore the change that you hope to see in your life, with support in learning to navigate situations with emerging confidence and self-acceptance Relational therapy, i.e. addressing past and present interpersonal injuries or unmet needs, and releasing anxiety and shame while building new and positive interpersonal experiences Grief work involving story-telling, somatic work, and meaning-making Brainspotting (https://brainspotting.com/), a vision/body-based therapy developed out of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy) which works to process and release trauma and anxiety/depression from the body. Brainspotting can also help to restore and expand bodily access to feelings of safety, pleasure, and creativity. Decolonizing and liberatory frameworks, e.g. naming and acknowledging the link between oppressive systems/factors and individual mental health Space for integrating spiritual or culturally relevant ancestral practices, if desired (e.g. oracle/tarot cards, drawing from ancestors)</image:title>
      <image:caption>*My practice, as informed by my own identities, is affirming of all gender expressions and sexualities, as well as experiences/identities of neurodiversity and disability.</image:caption>
