Frequently Asked Questions

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through the contact form and include your insurance information (if applicable), along with a few words about what has been bringing you in. This helps me get a sense of your needs and how I can best support you.

    From there, we will schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation. This is an opportunity for us to connect, talk through what you are looking for, and determine if we feel like a good fit. Therapy is a relationship, and it is important that we both feel comfortable moving forward.

    If we decide to work together, we will find a time and cadence that feels realistic and supportive for you.

  • The length of therapy looks different for everyone. Some people come in with a specific goal and feel ready to move on after a shorter period of time, while others choose to stay longer to explore patterns more deeply or continue growing in different areas of their life. We will check in regularly to make sure our work together continues to feel meaningful and aligned with what you need.

    As for whether it will work, therapy is not about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. It is a collaborative process. Real change happens when there is consistency, openness, and a willingness to engage in the work both in and outside of sessions. My role is to guide, support, and challenge you in ways that help you move forward, but your willingness to show up and be honest with yourself is just as important.

    When the fit is right and the process is honored, therapy can be incredibly effective. Many people find that they gain clarity, develop healthier ways of coping, and feel more grounded and in control of their lives.

  • Each session is 45-50 minutes long. We usually meet once a week, but depending on the support required, some patients choose to meet twice a week, once a week, every other week, and even once a month. Remember, treatment is tailored to what you need!

    The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment and support you need, as well as other considerations, such as finances or insurance guidelines. We can talk about this during our initial appointment and determine what you are comfortable with.

  • Therapy is so individual. If for whatever reason, you are not getting what you need or what you expected from our sessions, you can be 100% honest with me! I am happy to revise my plan to better suit what you need.

    Furthermore, if we don’t click - no hard feelings! I would also be happy to recommend other therapists or other services I think you might benefit more from, such as a specific niche treatment of therapy, a psychiatrist, couples counseling, family therapy, etc.

    Ultimately, this is about you and what you need!
