what it actually looks like

Here's what you can expect from me.

This page is here to answer the practical questions — how sessions work, what I charge, and what the process of starting looks like — so that when we get on the phone, we can spend that time on what actually matters.

What sessions are like

Conversational. Relational. Real.

Sessions are 50 minutes. You don't need to arrive with a prepared agenda or the right words — just show up. Some sessions will feel emotionally deep. Others will feel quieter or more reflective. Both are part of the process.

I'm not a blank screen. I show emotion, I attune to what's happening between us, and I will name the thing you've been circling around — kindly, directly. The relationship we build is actually part of how the work happens.

"You don't have to perform healing in here. You don't need perfect insight or the right words. You just have to be willing to show up. That's enough to start."

— Tyler Ricks, LPC-Associate
Is this the right fit?

This work is likely right for you if —

You want to go deeper

You're not just looking to manage symptoms — you want to actually understand what's driving them.

You're curious about yourself

Analytical, emotional, or both — you're open to following your patterns back to where they started.

You want a real relationship

Not someone who nods quietly. Someone who actually shows up and engages with you.

You're patient with process

You understand that real change takes time, and you're willing to invest in that.

"If you're looking for a quick fix or a purely skills-based approach, I'm probably not the right fit — and I'll tell you that honestly on the consultation call."
Fees & payment

Transparent. No surprises.

I'm a private pay provider — which means I don't bill insurance directly. This is intentional. Private pay gives us the freedom to work at your pace, toward your goals, without a third party shaping what we do. I accept all major credit and debit cards, plus HSA and FSA. Superbills available on request.

How we start

The consultation is just a conversation.

A free 15-minute phone call. No pressure, no paperwork, no commitment. We talk about where you are and whether this feels like a fit — for both of us.
