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 and/or telehealth sessions?
Yes. At this time I am offering both in person sessions during the day and telehealth sessions during the day or evening hours. With the pandemic, busy life, and childcare, telehealth can be a great option. In my experience, telehealth can be successful if both the therapist and client are committed to engaging fully in the telehealth session without distraction.
How often are sessions?
For therapy to be most effective, a weekly session is the best option. We can discuss if other options are right for you as well.
Do you take insurance?
Yes! You can go to the Rates and insurance page for more information.
