Question 1

What can I expect in our first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is all about getting to know your story, needs, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We’ll talk about your goals, explore what’s most important to you, and discuss how I can best support you.

If this is your first time seeking therapy, no worries! I make sure to discuss the general structure of therapy and am happy to answer any questions you may have about the process.

Question 2

Do you offer virtual therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I provide secure, confidential virtual therapy for clients living in  Colorado and North Carolina.

Online therapy can be just as effective, if not more, than in-person sessions. It allows you to be in a comfortable, predictable environment without the need to rely on transportation.
I conduct online sessions through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform and take several measures to protect your privacy.

What to expect:
Before our first session, consent forms are signed electronically and stored safely. You’ll receive a reminder and a secure link 24 hours before your session.   For your privacy, please ensure you're in a quiet, private space where you're unlikely to be interrupted.

Question 3

What availability do you offer?

Accepted Answer

I currently have some availability for new clients. Generally, I am available some weekday evenings and Saturdays.

Question 4

What types of clients do you work with?

Accepted Answer

I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma-based challenges, dissociation, identity exploration, acculturation and attachment-needs in relationships. Many of my clients hold LGBTQ+ and/or BIPOC identities and are processing the impacts of systemic oppression, religious harm, immigration, intimate partner violence, and childhood abuse; seeking a space where they don’t have to explain the basics of who they are.

Question 5

Do you accept insurance? What are your fees?

Accepted Answer

At this time, I do not accept insurance.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. However, I can provide superbills for possible reimbursement through your insurance plan. Many clients choose to self-pay for more privacy and flexibility in their therapy journey.

Question 6

What does LGBTQ+ affirming therapy mean?

Accepted Answer

LGBTQ+ affirming therapy is a safe, supportive, and inclusive space where your identity is celebrated, not just tolerated. In our sessions, I honor your lived experiences and unique challenges while supporting you in exploring relationships, self-expression, and personal growth without fear of judgment.

My expertise is rooted in my own lived queer experience, extensive continuing education, and ongoing educational and advocacy work I do for our community.

Question 7

How does trauma-informed therapy help?

Accepted Answer

Trauma-informed therapy focuses on creating safety, trust, and empowerment. It recognizes how past experiences may impact your thoughts, emotions, and body. Together, we’ll work gently and at your pace, using evidence-based techniques to process trauma and build resilience.

Question 8

¿Ofreces terapia en español?

Accepted Answer

Sí, Ofrezco terapia en inglés y español, para que puedas expresarte en el idioma que te resulte más natural. Para muchas personas bilingües, hablar en su idioma principal durante la terapia ayuda a conectar más profundamente con sus emociones y facilita el proceso de sanación.
