Question 1

Do you offer in-person or virtual therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I offer both in-person therapy and secure telehealth sessions for individuals and families throughout Minnesota.

Question 2

What is your approach to therapy?

Accepted Answer

My approach is integrative and whole-person with evidence-based psychotherapy at the center. I consider how your mental and emotional health may be connected with stress physiology, sleep, nutrition, gut health, relationships, and lifestyle.My training in functional nutrition informs the educational perspective I bring into therapy, while the focus of our work remains your mental and emotional well-being.

Question 3

What can I expect during the first session?

Accepted Answer

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and better understand what's bringing you to therapy. I'll ask about your concerns, story, health and lifestyle, and what's been tried so far. You'll also have plenty of time to ask questions and get a feel for whether we're a good fit.

Question 4

Do you provide nutritional counseling?

Accepted Answer

Not within therapy. Therapy sessions focus on your mental and emotional health through an integrative, nutrition-informed and gut-brain lens. My training in functional nutrition informs the education and whole-person perspective I bring into our therapy work, but therapy does not include individualized nutrition counseling.I also offer functional nutrition health coaching through a separate professional practice. Nutrition counseling and therapy are distinct services with distinct scopes of practice and are not combined within therapy sessions.

Question 5

Do you offer Christian counseling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer Christian counseling for clients who find it meaningful and want to incorporate their Christian faith into therapy, I'm happy to integrate faith into our work together while respecting where you are in your own journey.For others, therapy remains grounded in evidence-based mental health care without a faith-based approach.

Question 6

What are your fees?

Accepted Answer

I am a private-pay practice. My current fee is $185 per 60-minute session.I also reserve a limited number of sliding scale/reduced-fee appointments for clients with financial need. We can discuss availability during your consultation.

Question 7

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

No. I do not bill insurance and instead operate as a private-pay practice. This allows our work together to be guided by your needs and goals without the requirements of an insurance-based model.Depending on your plan, you may be able to submit a superbill to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. I recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your specific benefits.
