online individual therapy for adults in the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota
Exploring online individual therapy?
If you’re exploring therapy and wondering what to expect, you’re in the right place. I’ve answered some common questions below about our working together. If your question isn’t listed, let’s talk.
Getting started with therapy
How can therapy help?
Therapy is a space for reflection, perspective, and real-life change. Working with a therapist helps you explore what’s been hard, make sense of your patterns, and build tools that work for you and fit your life.
If you're thinking about trying something different, this could be a powerful next step.
What would we talk about?
Whatever’s weighing on you or has your focus. That might be any one of these, at any time:
Relationship struggles
Family-of-origin stress
Feeling like ‘the strong one’ or ‘the black sheep’
Grief, life transitions, burnout, values, sexuality, gender roles, or hope for the future
There are no off-limit topics in our space.
How will I know if you’re a good fit for me?
The first few sessions are about checking on and noticing that. You’ll get a feel for my style and whether you feel supported, understood, and able to be brave here.
If it’s not quite right, we’ll talk about it—and I’ll help you find someone who might be.
What to expect in therapy
How often do I need to come to therapy?
New clients start with weekly 60-minute sessions, at the same time each week. This routine helps you gain momentum and keeps your growth on track.
As your needs evolve, we might shift to bi-weekly 90-minute sessions or a maintenance rhythm that fits you.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on what you're working on, how deep you want to go, and your pace. Some people notice meaningful change quickly. Others choose to stay longer to keep building and integrating.
We’ll check in regularly to make sure your therapy feels useful and right-sized.
How do we know when therapy is done?
You'll start noticing that the changes you’ve been working on are showing up naturally, without effort. Maybe your reactions shift. Maybe you feel more aligned in your choices.
When you feel confident to keep growing on your own, we’ll talk about closing or spacing out sessions.
What happens in a typical session?
Most sessions start with a quick check-in. Then we dive into what’s been coming up for you, what’s felt hard or important lately.
I’ll help you look inward and reflect, and I often offer tools or small ‘homework’ assignments or practices so you carry your insights into everyday life.
Online therapy & location
Are sessions online or in person?
I offer online therapy only for adults (18+) across Minnesota. To work with me, you must be physically located in Minnesota during each session. (I may ask you for a location pin, as my licensing board occasionally audits.)
If you prefer in-person therapy, I may not be the right fit. If you’re open to online sessions, there are benefits:
Skipping traffic and parking
Joining from a familiar, comfortable space
Ending sessions already home and settled so you can take care of yourself after our session
Online therapy works as well as in-person therapy for many clients
Scheduling & policies
What if I need to cancel a session?
Life happens, and I get it. If you need to cancel, please give at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid a late cancellation fee. Your appointment is held just for you, and if you late-cancel or miss it, it’s tough for me to offer that spot to someone who might be interested in it.
How do I pay for online sessions?
I use Ivy Pay, a secure app made just for therapists. Your card info is collected before our first session, and I process payment the day of your appointment.
There’s no extra cost to you for using Ivy Pay.
Do you take insurance?
I'm an out-of-network provider. This means I’m not contracted with insurance companies, but I’m happy to give you a superbill you can submit for possible reimbursement.
