You’ve got questions?
Good. I’ve got answers.
I provide online therapy for adults seeking support for ADHD, anxiety, autism, OCD, and related challenges. Below are answers to common questions about my approach, licensure, and what to expect from therapy. You can also explore Adult ADHD Therapy, Autism Therapy for Adults, or view licensed states on my Locations page.
-
My home base in currently central Indiana, but Minnesota will always be home. That's why I'm "located" online. If you're in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, North Dakota, South Carolina, Vermont, or Virginia, I'm ready to help you live your best life!
-
Online therapy works a lot like Zoom, which you're probably already familiar with. I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform called SimplePractice, which supports audio, video, and text therapy to meet your needs. And of course, there's an app, for your convenience.
-
I do not offer in-person sessions. Even prior to the pandemic, I was toying with offering online services, so I was READY for this. I love it and I think you will, too!
-
My intake appointments are $190 and follow-ups are $150.
Payment can be made with HSA funds. I also offer Superbills for out-of-network benefits.
Additional services and their rates are outlined in my intake packet, but chances are you'll only use the intake and follow-up appointments.
-
I offer a free 15 minute chat to get to know each other. Therapy is a great investment and you deserve to feel comfortable with your partner in the process. Intake sessions are a full hour, which gives us time to review your mental and physical health histories as well as your current concerns and symptoms. Intakes kind of feel like a round of 20-questions about your life - you're guaranteed to get every question right!
-
There is no solid answer to this question. You're in control of your care and we'll move at the pace you choose. Typically, meeting weekly in the beginning allows the process to get a "jump-start." Later, as you gain your footing, we'll meet less frequently. Sometimes monthly sessions to touch base make sense during a "maintenance phase." So, yeah, it can be complicated but you don't have to go it alone.
-
According to the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services, describes Good Faith Estimates as "Usually, if you aren’t using health insurance to pay for your care, your health care provider must give you a good faith estimate of expected charges if you request one or schedule services at least 3 business days in advance." It's a requirement of the No Surprises Act and you can read more about it in the footer of this website.
-
Your appointment time is reserved as your investment in yourself and your wellbeing. Cancelling at least 24 hours before the start of your appointment will prevent a no-show fee, which equates to the full fee for the session. You'll get a reminder in advance as reminder, too, which prevents almost all no-show fees.
-
I sure hope so! What I hear from others is that they LOVE not having to take so much time out of their day to attend an appointment. Just imagine the ease of logging on in the comfort of your own space, maybe wearing your most comfy loungewear while sipping a refreshing drink. Fur babies optional, but always welcome.
How does therapy help adult ADHD?
Therapy for adults with ADHD goes beyond validation and time-management strategies. Practical tools and skills can be helpful, but meaningful ADHD therapy also looks at the deeper ways ADHD has shaped a person’s life — including rejection sensitivity, chronic self-doubt, social isolation, and the shame that often builds after years of feeling misunderstood or “behind.”
In therapy, adults with ADHD have space to unpack these experiences with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment. The work often focuses on understanding long-standing patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, rebuilding self-trust, and developing realistic, sustainable ways to navigate relationships, work, and daily life. For many adults, ADHD therapy is less about “fixing” themselves and more about creating clarity, self-acceptance, and practical change that actually fits how their brain works.

How does therapy help adults with Autism?
Therapy for autistic adults is not about changing who someone is or teaching them to mask more effectively. While coping strategies can be useful, autism-affirming therapy focuses on understanding how a person’s nervous system, communication style, and sensory experiences shape their daily life. Many autistic adults come to therapy carrying years of misunderstanding, burnout, social exhaustion, or internalized shame from trying to fit into systems that were not designed for them.
In therapy, autistic adults have space to explore these experiences without pressure to perform or explain themselves. The work often includes reducing overwhelm, increasing self-understanding, strengthening boundaries, and developing ways to navigate relationships, work, and expectations that honor how their brain actually functions. For many adults, therapy becomes a place to move toward clarity, self-acceptance, and a more sustainable way of living.

How does therapy help with OCD?
Therapy for OCD goes beyond reassurance and trying to “think differently.” While intrusive thoughts and compulsions are often the most visible parts of OCD, the condition also takes a toll emotionally — creating fear, doubt, guilt, and a sense of being trapped in one’s own mind. Many adults with OCD spend years hiding symptoms or feeling ashamed of thoughts they don’t understand.
Therapy provides a structured, supportive space to understand how OCD operates, reduce the power of intrusive thoughts, and respond differently to anxiety and uncertainty. The work often focuses on building tolerance for discomfort, breaking compulsive cycles, and reclaiming time, energy, and trust in oneself. Over time, therapy can help adults with OCD feel less controlled by fear and more grounded in their values and daily lives.

How Does Therapy Help with Anxiety
Therapy for anxiety isn’t just about calming down or learning to relax. Anxiety often shows up as chronic worry, hypervigilance, perfectionism, or a constant sense of being “on edge,” and it can quietly shape decisions, relationships, and self-confidence over time. Many adults adapt to anxiety for so long that it feels normal — even when it’s exhausting.
In therapy, anxiety is explored with curiosity rather than judgment. The focus is often on understanding patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, and learning how to respond to stress in ways that are more flexible and less driven by fear. Therapy can help adults feel more present, more confident in their choices, and better able to navigate uncertainty without anxiety running the show.
