Let’s put your unique story into context.
I specialize in helping high-achievers struggling with imposter syndrome, especially those with narcissistic or abusive parents, to stop cycles of people-pleasing and emerge into a life that truly belongs to them.
Type of Therapy
Individual (one-on-one)
Location
Online (teletherapy)
Fee
$200 for 55 minutes
Do you offer sessions in person? I shifted to 100% teletherapy during the pandemic. If that changes, I’ll let you know!
Do you take insurance? No — I choose not to work with insurance companies for a variety of reasons. It reduces my administrative burden and, more importantly, it means that the only people who can dictate what happens in the treatment session are me and you.
Your insurance, however, may reimburse you for visits with an out-of-network (OON) provider. How do you find out? Easy! I’ve partnered with Mentaya so you can check your OON benefits below, right now. All you need is your insurance member ID number!
I will provide a superbill (it’s like an invoice) that you can submit directly to your insurance for reimbursement — or, if you don’t want to deal with that, you can submit claims through Mentaya for just 5% per claim!
Who I Work Best With
Yes, that’s a Saab 340. I flew it on it. It was loud.
Aviation Personnel
You’re a pilot, controller, flight attendant, or airport staff. You’re under a tremendous amount of stress — the kind that the general public just doesn’t understand. Moreover, you haven’t dared to deal with that stress because you’re afraid of getting grounded.
But at long last, things are changing. The FAA announced new guidance in May of 2026 encouraging pilots and air traffic controllers to seek mental health counseling, calling it “compatible with both an unrestricted medical certificate and special issuance/special consideration.” Then on September 24, the US Senate passed — unanimously — the Aviation Medication Transparency Act of 2026. If it becomes law, it will direct the FAA to create a list of approved medications for pilots and controllers. It’s a pivotal development, and my hope is that it will fundamentally alter years of culture that has forced aviation personnel to face their mental health difficulties alone. While I don’t prescribe medication, I’m very excited to provide counseling to a population that has suffered for far too long.
Musicians • Performers • Artists • Actors
You’re a musician, actor, or any other type of performer. You may be struggling with crippling performance anxiety and self-doubt. I know what it feels like to be under that pressure and have your mind go completely blank. Let’s talk about the forces at work — external and internal — that combine to knock you off-balance in critical situations.
University Students, especially PhD candidates
Ten years in university housing taught me about the wide variety of stressors that burden students. If you’re struggling with social adjustment, homesickness, uncertainty about the future, or the downright academic rigor of your program, I can help. I have significant experience with graduate students and PhD candidates at any stage of the journey. If you’re paralyzed by procrastination, clashing with your advisor, or terrified of what your dissertation committee will think, let’s figure it out.
