How
to
work
together
There are many ways to begin this work, but they all start with the same foundation:
your nervous system, your pace, and your lived experience.
Most people who find their way here aren’t falling apart, they’re holding it together. They’re functional, capable, thoughtful, and often deeply self-aware. But they’re running their lives from a nervous system that feels overwhelmed, over-activated, or shut down.
Working with me is not about trying harder or performing “healthy.” It’s about understanding your internal patterns, building real regulation, and creating more emotional and physiological capacity for your life.
What working together can look like:
THERAPY FOR HIGH-PERFORMING NERVOUS SYSTEMS
Ongoing individual therapy
This is for people who are functioning on the outside, but internally feel anxious, tense, shut down, or overwhelmed. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet still feel stuck in patterns their insight alone hasn’t shifted.
Therapy focuses on:
-
Understanding how your nervous system responds to stress, threat, and connection
-
Tracking patterns in emotion, thought, and behavior without pathologizing them
-
Building regulation, capacity, and flexibility over time
-
Integrating insight into lived, embodied change
This work is collaborative, paced, and grounded in both science and real life. It’s not about fixing you, it’s about helping your system feel safer, steadier, and more resilient.
Good fit if: you’re looking for deeper, sustained support and want space to work with longstanding patterns and you want to bill to your insurance.
I accept Premera Blue Cross and Aetna insurances, and sessions may be covered depending on your plan’s copay, coinsurance, or deductible. Private pay or out of network sessions are billed at $165 per session. Sessions are typically 50–60 minutes and occur weekly or biweekly.
This work is not short-term coaching or symptom-only treatment, and it’s not designed for crisis intervention. Therapy is open-ended and best suited for people who want deeper, sustained support.
You can begin by scheduling a brief consultation to explore fit or by reaching out directly about availability. You do not need to be in crisis to start, and we can always reassess pace and frequency as we go.
Decoding your nervous system
A single, focused session for clarity and direction
This is a one-time, 75 minute structured session designed to help you understand how your nervous system actually works, under stress, in relationships, and in everyday life.
Together, we map:
-
Your primary stress and survival responses
-
Patterns of overdrive, shutdown, or oscillation
-
What triggers your system and what helps it settle
-
Where regulation can realistically begin
You leave with a clear framework for understanding your experience and concrete next steps, whether or not you continue in therapy.
Good fit if: you want clarity before committing, feel stuck but unsure where to start, or want something concrete right away.
This session is a flat-rate private pay offering of $250 and is not billed to insurance. It does not establish an ongoing therapeutic relationship unless you choose to continue afterward. It is not therapy, crisis care, or a substitute for higher-level mental health support if that is needed.
You can book a decoding session directly through the scheduling link. A brief questionnaire is provided beforehand to help focus the session. Some people use this as a standalone experience, while others use it as a first step before deciding on therapy or a short series.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
You don’t need to decide on your own.
If you’re unsure which option fits, a free brief consultation can help clarify what would be most supportive right now. You’re also welcome to spend time reading innerterrain to get a feel for how I think and work.
There’s no rush. Start where it feels most accessible.
