Therapy for eating disorders, trauma, and anxiety, for women who hold everything together
You are the one who holds it together. The job, the family, the calendar, the version of you everyone else relies on. Somewhere in there, food, your body, or an old pattern started running the show, and managing it quietly has stopped working. This is where you stop managing alone. I am direct, I pay close attention, and I will tell you the truth about what I see.
Who I work with
Adult women, 18 and older, who are capable and exhausted, navigating eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, and the identity shifts of motherhood. Many of my clients have already tried therapy that felt pleasant and changed nothing.
Currently accepting new clients.
What working together looks like
Weekly telehealth sessions from wherever you have privacy. I work from an integrative approach: attachment based, somatic informed, relational, with CBT and DBT skills where they actually help. I bring eating disorder experience from residential treatment and outpatient private practice. Sessions are not a place to perform being fine. They are a place to look at the patterns underneath, at a pace your nervous system can tolerate.
Practical details
Master's in Professional Counseling, Ottawa University, 2020
Practicing in Minnesota and Ohio under a Counseling Compact privilege to practice, issued through my Arizona license
Quoted in TIME on supporting someone with postpartum depression (September 2026).
Telehealth sessions only, Wednesday through Friday, 9am to 4pm Arizona time. You must be physically located in Arizona, Minnesota, or Ohio at the time of each session. I confirm your location at the start of every session, and that state's laws apply to our work that day.
$200 per 50 minute session, private pay. I do not bill insurance directly. Superbills are provided on request.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the federal No Surprises Act, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs before scheduled care when you pay for services yourself. Because I do not bill insurance, every client here is self pay, and every client receives one.
When you schedule your first session, I send you a written estimate before we meet. When you schedule at least 3 business days ahead, it arrives at least 1 business day before the session. Your estimate will show:
- The fee for a 50 minute telehealth session
- How often we expect to meet, based on what we talk through in your consultation
- The total expected cost for the next 12 months of sessions
- Any other fees that could apply under the cancellation policy we review during your consultation
For example, if we meet weekly for a year, 12 months of sessions comes to $10,400. Meeting less often brings the estimate down.
Your estimate is based on what is known when it is written. The amount you actually pay may differ if we change how often we meet, if you stop sooner than planned, or if your needs change in ways we could not predict. The Good Faith Estimate is an estimate of expected costs. It is not a contract, and it does not require you to receive the services listed.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to start a federal dispute process. Instructions come with the estimate. You can also ask me to explain any charge at any time, before or after it appears.
Keep a copy of your estimate for your records. Estimates go out by email or through the ClientSecure scheduling portal. This website does not store them or anything else about your care, consistent with the Privacy Policy.
Using out of network benefits
If you have a PPO plan, you may be able to get part of each session fee back from your insurer. Coverage depends on your plan, so check before you start.
1. Check your benefits
Use the Thrizer eligibility check to see what your plan may reimburse for out of network therapy.
2. Pay for each session
You pay the session fee directly. I do not bill insurance.
3. Request a superbill
A superbill is an itemized receipt with the codes your insurer asks for. Ask me for one and I will provide it.
4. Submit it to your insurer
Send the superbill through your insurer's claim portal or by mail. Your insurer decides how much it reimburses.

Is this the right fit
Weekly outpatient therapy is the right level of care for a lot of people and the wrong one for some. If you are medically unstable, in active crisis, or need daily support around food, you need more than I can responsibly offer, and I will say so in the first conversation and help you find the right program. I would rather lose a client than keep one at the wrong level of care.
Questions clients ask
- Do you take insurance?
- No. I am private pay. Many PPO plans reimburse a portion of out of network therapy; the steps are under Using out of network benefits above. Superbills are available on request.
- What happens first?
- A free 15 minute consultation by phone or video. You tell me what is going on, I tell you honestly whether I am the right fit, and if I am, we schedule the first session. If I am not, I point you toward someone who is.
- What is the first session like?
- We go through your intake paperwork together, I ask a lot of questions, and you get a clear sense of how I work. You do not need to have anything figured out before you arrive.
- What is your cancellation policy?
- It is in your intake paperwork and I walk through it during the consultation, so there are no surprises.
- What if I am not in Arizona, Minnesota, or Ohio?
- I cannot see you. Licensing law is based on where you are physically located during the session, and I only practice where I am authorized. If that changes, this page will say so.
Scheduling runs on SimplePractice's ClientSecure portal, a separate service with its own privacy practices.
