FAQs
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
It takes a lot of courage to seek therapy. If you are at this page thinking about it, it can be a good indication that it can be helpful. For therapy to be effective it’s important to “click” with the therapist. Most people can have a good feeling about that in the first session. I give a free 15-minute consultation to discuss if it’s a good idea to move forward.
What is therapy like?
I use a psychodynamic approach, which means that I focus on exploring the “why am I feeling or acting this way?” I encourage you to speak freely about anything that comes to mind, including your emotions, thoughts, and perspectives. While I do incorporate various structured techniques and evidence-based practice approaches, including CBT, when appropriate, I prefer not to rely solely on an overly structured approach to therapy.
Do you offer in person or telehealth sessions?
I primarily offer telehealth sessions during the day, with a small number of in-person appointments available. Many people find telehealth helpful because it fits more easily into a busy schedule or home life. As long as we can both be present and focused, telehealth can be just as effective as meeting in person.
How often are sessions?
Most clients meet with me weekly or biweekly, depending on their goals and what feels most helpful. We’ll talk together about the pace that makes sense, and I’ll offer guidance based on your needs. While I’m flexible, I also work with you to make sure the schedule supports consistent progress.
Do you take insurance?
Yes! You can go to the Rates and insurance page for more information.
