This largely depends on the client(s) and what they are struggling with. Therapy provides a safe space to talk about your feelings and thoughts. I will also reflect any patterns I might see back to my clients which we dive into to discover the root of the pattern and how it may be affecting their life. I may also help clients learn skills like communication, active listening, and coping skills that they can master and use outside of the therapy room. The length of therapy is also dependent on the client(s). Most clients come an average of about 6-8 months but some stay longer if they feel they want continued support or have more they want to dive into. My aim is to help you uncover your confidence and strengthen your skills to get you to a place where you don’t need therapy anymore. Of course, life happens and all my clients are always welcome to come back if they feel they need extra support at anytime.
-
My approach is very client-centered meaning therapy will look different depending on what that client is struggling with and needs at that moment. Since my background is in Marriage and Family Therapy, therapy is largely based on a systemic approach. We don’t exist in a vacuum void of other influences. A systemic approach allows me to identify all the other influences and experiences that shape us. It also takes into account the relationships in our lives and what part those relationships play. In the therapy room I tend to be open-minded, curious, but also straight-forward.

Click any “Schedule” or “book now” button on this website. This will take you to an appointment scheduler where you will be able to schedule a 15 minute consultation call. In this call, you will briefly tell me what you’d like help with. I will answer any questions you might have about me or the therapy process. From here we will schedule an intake session and I will send you intake forms via email to complete before the first session.
-
The same way as individual counseling! Both partners will get separate intake forms that must be completed before session. Couples intake forms are submitted separately. Your individual answers on intakes will remain private.
-
Unfortunately, I cannot see clients who have not completed their intake paperwork due to needing clients to consent to the confidentiality and disclosure forms before starting a therapeutic relationship. I ask that forms be submitted 24 hours before your session to give me time to look them over. If they are not submitted, we will have to reschedule your intake session.
-
I keep credit cards on file in a secure online system to make payments easy and hassle-free. Your card will be charged at the end of the day of your session.
-
I do not accept insurance at this time.
All major credit cards are accepted as well as HSA cards.
I can provide a “superbill” for you so you can submit it for out-of-network benefits from your insurance company.
I use a service called Thrizer to help submit your superbill to insurance for you. They send you reimbursement for sessions without having to ever talk to insurance.
Please inquire more about this in your intro call.
-
I welcome clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures, including LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and those in polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships.
-
I am not a faith based counselor and do not work out of any one religion. I believe that my religious beliefs have no place in the therapy room because it’s not about me! However, if my clients practice a certain religion, find comfort in it, and want to bring it into the therapy room then that’s totally fine. I always approach from a point of curiosity and never judgment.
FAQ’s
What to Expect
-
A consultation call is about 15-30 minutes long via phone call. If you’re inquiring about couples counseling, I highly suggest both partners being on the call so you can both make an informed decision. On this call we will briefly explore what you’d like to work on in therapy. I will also tell you a bit about how I work and what my process is. This is also a great time to ask any and all questions you may have! At the end of the call you may decide to book a session or you can take some time to think about it and discuss together if I’m the right fit for you! Either is totally okay.
-
After a client decides to book, all I need is their full name and email. We will decide on an intake date and schedule. I will send the intake forms directly to email through my EHR, Sessions Health. You will set up a client portal, sign forms, and complete an intake questionnaire. If doing couples therapy, each person will receive separate intakes and will complete them separately. Each person’s answers remain confidential. I don’t bring up what someone said in their intake forms in session. It is only for me to learn information prior to session.
-
First sessions or “intake” session is all about learning about you, what you’re struggling with, and what goals you’d like to accomplish in therapy.
Invest in you.
Counseling takes time and money like anything else however it is a powerful tool. Counseling teaches you to dive inside yourself in your most vulnerable moments and learn to share that with another person. The result of that is a deep connection with yourself and the important people in your life, including your partner.
Imagine if someone knew everything about you, all the dark and scary moments included, and they loved and accepted you anyways.
