What can I expect in the first therapy session?

Starting therapy can feel nerve-wracking, but my goal is to ask the right questions and make you feel at ease. Hopefully, after your 15-minute telephone consultation, you will feel a little more comfortable being open and honest during the assessment, which is just a get-to-know-you session to better understand what brings you to seek services.


How long do appointments last, and how often do I have to come?

Except for the initial intake session, which lasts 75 minutes, all subsequent sessions are approximately 60 minutes long. Appointments are generally scheduled weekly or biweekly, based on your needs and availability. Regular attendance is encouraged to ensure consistent progress


Do you offer online/virtual sessions?

 All paperwork, consent forms, and intakes are virtual. Sessions are offered via video, phone, or secure messaging.


Do you accept health insurance?

I’ve partnered with Headway, a third-party billing company, to handle insurance claims for personal counseling services. Headway does not process claims for couples counseling, but we offer special pricing on therapy packages that include both personal and couples counseling.

Payment options include insurance through Headway, health savings accounts, cash, and credit/debit cards. Limited sliding-fee sessions are also available


What is your therapy approach or style?

I adopt a professional yet approachable approach to therapy. My goal is to create a warm and supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing and exploring your thoughts and feelings. I focus on understanding your unique experiences and needs, tailoring our work together to help you achieve your personal goals.

I blend evidence-based techniques with a compassionate, collaborative style, ensuring that our sessions are both effective and engaging. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges or seeking to improve your overall well-being, I’m here to support you with empathy and expertise, guiding you through each step of your journey.


How long until I start noticing a change in how I feel?

Everyone’s journey is unique, and the time it takes to notice changes can vary based on what you’re working through. Many people begin to feel some improvements within a few sessions. We’ll work together to set and achieve your mental and emotional wellness goals, and I’ll be here to support you every step of the way until we both feel you’ve made the progress you’re looking for.


How do I know if Therapy is right for me?


Therapy can be incredibly helpful for a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges, from navigating trauma and relationship issues to managing mood disorders or life transitions. If you're uncertain, feel free to reach out for a free consultation. We’ll discuss your concerns and determine if therapy is the right step for you. Even if you’re unsure, taking the first step and starting the conversation can be a powerful part of your healing journey.
