Questions Are Welcome

Who goes to therapy?

Therapy is no doubt a luxury for those who have the mental space, time, and resources to tend to their mental health and relational wellness. I want to meet you wherever you are in life. We can discuss if therapy is right for you.

How long does therapy take?

A psychotherapy hour will consist of 50-minutes of talk therapy, and I reserve the last 10-minutes for administrative charting. The number of sessions varies from client to client. I tailor treatment plans based on you—your goals, your finances, your time constraints, etc. I welcome you to bring your questions and concerns to session, so we can discuss options.

What can I expect from a therapy session?

You can expect a safe, warm, and compassionate space where we will collaborate together. I want to honor where you come from, what you have been through, and the people in your life. The first few sessions will be about me getting to know you. I will offer a listening ear, provide you with my undivided attention, and encourage you to share and explore the issues you hold close to your heart at your own pace with the utmost empathy. As you allow me to enter your world, my genuine and respectful curiosity will follow you. This is where we start. As we work towards achieving your therapeutic goal(s), day-to-day stressors will appear in session. I welcome all clients to listen to their body and needs. There may be sessions where we attend to those immediate needs, and as you feel grounded again, we will re-direct our attention to your initial goal(s) and treatment plan. If you ever feel as though things are going in a different direction than you would like, I welcome you to share the feedback with me, so we can move in a direction that is more aligned with your needs.

Do you take insurance?

Although I do not accept insurance at the moment, I can provide you with a monthly receipt (superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. There are pros and cons to this approach, and we can talk about these when we meet.

What is your cancellation policy?

Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours notice are subject to the full session fee.

How do we begin?

First, let’s make sure this relationship feels like a good fit. I offer a complimentary, 30-minute consultation for all new clients. I’m currently conducting all consultation sessions online, so a strong Wifi connection and a confidential space are encouraged. My office is open for in-person sessions. If this is appealing to you, please let me know.
