In therapy, I take a personalized and collaborative approach to help you better understand your current challenges and define meaningful goals for our work together. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship issues, or feeling stuck, our sessions will be tailored to your unique needs.

 

My approach is trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming, creating a safe, validating space where you don’t have to mask or minimize who you are. While every client’s journey is unique, certain groups face particular challenges that I address in my practice.

 

Women often carry the invisible load of family, caregiving, and unrealistic societal expectations. These pressures, combined with underdiagnosis of neurodivergence and minimization of distress, significantly affect mental health. [Learn more]

​

Men are often taught to shut down softer emotions and lean into independence, achievement, or problem-solving instead of connection. This can leave them isolated, burned out, or struggling beneath the surface. [Learn more]

​

BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals deserve affirming, inclusive therapy. Too often, clients feel unseen or misunderstood within systems not built for them. I provide care that respects identity, culture, and lived experience. [Learn more]

​​

I also work individually with parents who are seeking support around parenting strategies, family routines, and understanding their child’s neurodivergence.

 

Together, we’ll explore the patterns, both emotional and behavioral, that may be keeping you from feeling grounded or fulfilled. From there, we’ll work to develop new ways of thinking, coping, and showing up in your life that support greater peace, clarity, and connection.

In couples therapy, we’ll work together to understand each partner’s concerns and clarify your shared goals for the relationship. Common focus areas include improving communication, deepening emotional and physical intimacy, strengthening your co-parenting dynamic, and navigating conflict more effectively.

​

I also specialize in supporting neurodiverse couples, helping partners better understand each other’s unique communication styles, needs, and emotional experiences.

​

Our sessions will be a collaborative space to help you reconnect, build trust, and grow in the areas that matter most to your relationship. Whether you're feeling disconnected, stuck in recurring arguments, or simply want to strengthen your bond, therapy can offer the tools and support to move forward together.​

Family Therapy

Family relationships can be a source of deep connection, but also stress, conflict, or misunderstanding. In family therapy, I work with adult family members together to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and navigate challenges.

​

Common areas of focus include:

  • Parents and adult children navigating ADHD or other neurodivergence

  • Sibling conflict and patterns of communication

  • Parents adjusting to caregiving roles for aging parents

  • Families balancing autonomy, boundaries, and connection

​

Family therapy is different from individual parent support, as it involves two or more family members in sessions together. My role is to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where everyone feels heard, and to help the family work toward healthier patterns and stronger relationships.​​

Payment

Align and Empower Therapy, PLLC is a private pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. However, I’m happy to provide a monthly Superbill (an itemized receipt) that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.​

​

What is a Superbill?

​

A superbill is a detailed receipt I provide that lists the services you’ve received, my credentials, and the fees you paid. It includes the medical codes (diagnosis and procedure codes) that insurance companies require to process out-of-network claims.

​

You can submit this superbill to your insurance provider to request reimbursement for part of your session costs, depending on your plan’s out-of-network benefits.

​

Some clients choose not to submit superbills because they prefer to keep their care completely private and not share information with their insurance company. That is completely okay. Submitting a superbill is always optional, and you are welcome to pay privately without involving insurance if that feels best for you.

​

At the end of our first visit, I’ll check in with you about whether you’d like me to provide superbills for insurance reimbursement or if you’d prefer to keep your care completely private. This way, I can make sure my documentation and billing process match your preferences.​

​

I partner with Reimbursify to make this process easier for my clients.

​

  • The "Use Your Insurance" link allows you to quickly check your out-of-network benefits and get an estimate of your potential reimbursement.

  • Once you are a client, I will provide access to Reimbursify’s “File Fast” service. This tool allows you to securely submit your superbill directly to your insurance company in just a few minutes.

​​

Many clients find Reimbursify helpful because it removes the stress of confusing forms and streamlines the process into a quick, simple step, which frees up your energy to focus on therapy, not paperwork.

​

If you’re planning to use out-of-network benefits, I recommend calling your insurance company in advance to ask about your coverage, reimbursement rates, and the steps for submitting a Superbill. I'm also happy to answer any questions you may have about this process.​​
