Frequently Asked Questions

  • Therapy can be a scary process, especially if you’re new to it. First, I’d like to commend you for taking the step in exploring this option. It is critical that you find a therapist that is a good fit for you so you can feel safe to explore your emotions and grow. Depending on your needs, therapy can be short-term, or long-term. I am client-centered and strength-based, which means you get to be in the driver’s seat around the issues you would like to tackle while having a safe and non-judgmental space. If you are unsure about therapy, please schedule a free consultation by clicking the Schedule Now button at the bottom.

  • For individual therapy, your first session will be an intake session where we will go over the logistics of the therapeutic process (policies, consent, privacy practice, payment, etc.), gather background information about you, explore the reason(s) for seeking therapy, and your possible goals for therapy. For couples therapy, the first three sessions are considered part of intake assessment. I will see the couple together for the first session, while the next two sessions will be individual sessions with each person. Following the intake assessment process, all sessions will be together as a couple.

    I do not come with an agenda, and I make sure we discuss what is most important to you in the session. I may give you tasks, challenges, or an area to focus on during the week. Sessions are generally weekly and can be moved to every other week depending on your circumstance.

  • I am considered an out-of-network provider for insurance companies. Some insurance companies may reimburse you for a portion of the session if you have out-of-network benefits. Please check with your insurance company regarding your benefits. You will be responsible for payment at each session and will receive a monthly superbill for your insurance claim and reimbursements.

  • Individual sessions are 50 minutes, and couples sessions are 55 minutes. Clinical supervision sessions are 60 minutes, while group therapy sessions vary between 45-90 minutes.

  • I take all major credit cards as well as FSA and HSA cards.

  • I value your time and reserve your session time exclusively for you. I have a 48 hour cancellation policy at no cost to you. If you cancel the session after 48 hours, you will be responsible for full payment. Please feel free to cancel your session 48 hours in advance via the client portal, or by emailing me.
