For Clients

Find Clarity. Discover Your Strength.

Starting therapy is hard! First of all, you’re thinking about starting therapy because you’re not feeling your best (and maybe that’s putting it very mildly). Then you’re looking through listings and websites of strangers trying to figure out who you might be willing to trust with your most vulnerable self.

On top of that, maybe you have no clue what to expect when you log into you first meeting with your therapist. What are they going to say? What are you supposed to do? And if you do know that, you might not know if what your therapist is doing is helping, or how or when to speak up.

At Gradient Psychology, we believe in taking the mystery out of therapy. That means letting you know what to expect every step of the way. It also means putting the power in your hands while giving you expert guidance on taking charge of your mental health needs.

FAQs

  • Not currently. Because I only keep a handful of spots open for therapy clients, I’m not taking on insurance-based new clients.
    You may have Out-of-network benefits through your insurance. If that is the case, I can provide you with a Superbill. A Superbill can be submitted to your insurance company for possible partial or full reimbursement of your session fees, depending on your benefits. It is usually best to call your insurance provider first to understand your benefits, as they are the only ones who can advise on your policy.

  • Each session will be scheduled for 45 minutes. To ensure that the time is used wisely, it is best to be ready to start promptly to use all available session time.

  • Once you book your first session, you will receive an email with more detailed information about what to expect along with the required intake forms which must be completed before the appointment.
    Once we open the meeting and introduce ourselves, we will go over the legally-required information about confidentiality and a few other policies and such.

    After that, we get down to the work of getting to know each other a little with two main purposes:
    1) Getting to know you and your goals for therapy

    2) Deciding if this is the right fit for you in order to meet your goals

    The relationship between you and your therapist is the biggest factor in what will determine how much your therapy will help you.
    Chances are, though, if everything you’re reading sounds good to you, we will probably do just fine together. Still, what’s most important is you getting your needs met - and if that means saying goodbye after one session, so be it.



    In the more likely case that things feel good, we will find a regular time to meet - usually once weekly -

  • I have worked with clients from all walks of life and with many different kinds of needs from therapy. A true generalist, my work has included non-profit clinics, schools, residential facilities, adults, children, and more.

    My first love was providing family therapy and seeing the whole family together to make big-impact changes. I also focused her doctoral dissertation on treating victims of sexual assault, and received specialized training in intimate partner violence. Through working with families, I expanded into parenting support and parent education - helping parents navigate the complexity of caregiving in such a challenging world.

    More recently, I have expanded her specialties to include working with neurodiverse populations - especially folks who are exploring the possibility of being Autistic or ADHD later in life. More than a quarter of adult clients seeking outpatient therapy are diagnosed with either ADHD or Autism - things we used to only see diagnosed in childhood, except in rare cases.

    Additionally, clients are given the space ​to be their truest selves. I am both ​neurodivergent & LGBTQ+ ​affirming/informed. I have worked with ​clients of varying religions, ethnicities, ​and lifestyles. All people deserve dignity, respect, and basic human decency.
