Yes. For clients located in Virginia, I am in-network with Aetna, Optum (including UMR, UnitedHealthcare, GEHA, and related plans), and Carelon. I also welcome private pay clients.

For clients located in Washington state I offer private pay services.

Sliding scale may be available based on financial need and availability.

If I'm not in-network with your insurance, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients also choose to pay privately for added flexibility and privacy.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through my contact form or email me directly with your name, the state you're located in, and a brief description of what you're hoping to work on. From there, I'll answer any questions you have and help determine whether we're a good fit before scheduling your first appointment.

Yes. I provide secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual therapy for adults located in Virginia, Washington and Hawaiʻi. Telehealth allows you to access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home while still receiving high-quality, personalized care.

Most therapy sessions last between 50 and 60 minutes, allowing enough time to explore concerns, develop insight, and work toward your goals without feeling rushed.

Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum and establish a strong therapeutic foundation. As progress is made, we may transition to biweekly or monthly sessions depending on your goals and needs.

I work with adults navigating:

• Trauma and painful past experiences
• Anxiety, chronic stress, and burnout
• Self worth and confidence challenges
• Life transitions and identity shifts
• Relationship challenges and recurring patterns
• Emotional regulation and nervous system dysregulation

Therapy is always personalized to your unique experiences, goals, and strengths.

I don't record, transcribe, or use AI to listen to our therapy sessions. There isn't an AI notetaker sitting in the background analyzing our conversations, and AI doesn't make decisions about your treatment.

Transcmend is also independently owned and isn't backed by venture capital or a large corporate therapy platform.

Your sessions are between you and your therapist; not you, your therapist, and an algorithm.

Holistic therapy recognizes that emotional well being is influenced by the connection between your mind, body, emotions, relationships, and nervous system. My approach combines evidence based therapy with mindfulness, nervous system awareness, self reflection, and practical coping strategies to support lasting healing; not just symptom management.

Yes. My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I recognize the impact that past experiences can have on your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and nervous system. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?" I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and an understanding of how your experiences have shaped who you are today.

Yes, when it's meaningful to you. I believe culture, identity, family experiences, and spirituality can all play an important role in healing. These conversations are always guided by your values, comfort level, and personal goals. My role is to support what feels authentic and helpful for you, never to impose my own beliefs.
