- What’s the purpose of a free consultation before we begin?
-
We’ll have a quick phone call to determine whether we’re a good fit for one another. You’ll get to decide if my style and approach work for you, and I’ll get a sense of whether your goals and needs can be best met in this space.
- What can I expect from therapy sessions with you?
-
You can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where we collaborate to explore your concerns, goals, and strengths. Together, we’ll deepen your self-awareness, identify patterns in your thoughts and behaviors, and develop effective strategies to navigate life’s challenges.
- How long are sessions, and how often should I attend?
-
Individual therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes to an hour, while couples’ sessions may run up to 90 minutes. Duration can vary depending on your needs and preferences.
The frequency of sessions is typically once a week, but we can adjust based on your schedule and progress. Consistency in attendance often yields the best results, so a commitment to the process is essential.
- What therapeutic approaches do you use?
-
I integrate several evidence-based modalities, including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing (MI), and mindfulness-based approaches, layered with contemplative techniques. For trauma reprocessing, I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, drawing on the most effective strategies to support your growth and well-being. You will always have a say in what works for you and what doesn’t.
- How do I know if therapy is right for me?
-
Therapy can benefit people facing a wide range of challenges, from managing stress and anxiety to navigating relationships or processing trauma. If you’re experiencing distress, seeking personal growth, or simply looking for support in navigating life’s complexities, therapy can provide valuable insights and tools to help you thrive.
- Can we do deep trauma work or trauma reprocessing?
-
Yes. In addition to talking openly about trauma and its impacts as we work together, I’m trained in EMDR, a focused method for reprocessing traumatic experiences. If you’d like to explore whether EMDR is right for you, we can discuss it during your consultation.
- Is therapy confidential?
-
Yes — confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic process. Your privacy is of utmost importance, and anything discussed in our sessions remains strictly confidential, except in rare circumstances where there may be a legal obligation to disclose information (for example, if there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others).
- Do you offer virtual therapy sessions (telehealth)?
-
Yes. I primarily offer virtual therapy sessions, with limited openings for in-person sessions if you’d prefer. All virtual sessions are conducted securely and confidentially via a HIPAA-compliant platform, so you can access support from the comfort of your own space without having to commute.
- How do I schedule an appointment?
-
Scheduling is easy — just book a free consultation. I’m committed to making the process as seamless as possible and am here to support you every step of the way.
- What if I’m still unsure, or have more questions?
-
If you have any hesitations or questions about starting therapy, please reach out. I’m happy to provide more information, address any concerns, and help you decide whether therapy is the right fit for you at this time.
Your well-being is my priority, and I’m committed to supporting you on your journey toward healing and growth.
