FAQs

  • I currently meet with individuals and couples. I am not currently providing family therapy.

  • My goal as a therapist is to always create and cultivate a welcoming and non-judgmental space during every session that we meet. I want our sessions to feel supportive and collaborative. I also recognize that vulnerability and trust comes with time when building any therapeutic relationship. I am always open to feedback, and encourage clients to share this with me. I will check in periodically with my clients to ask for some feedback and reflection about their experience with our sessions so they can be better tailored to you and your needs as we continue forward.

    During our first session, I will ask for some background information in a conversational format, which will help me to get to know you as well as better understand what brings you to therapy at this time. I will expect that before our first session, you have a general understanding of the practice policies and that if you have any questions, we can tend to them within this first session.

    Subsequent sessions are reflective of what you, the client, would like to focus on. Sometimes, we may focus on one topic for several sessions. Other times, we will go back and forth, especially if something distressing comes up that you would like to discuss and process, even if it is “off topic”. Sessions with me will ebb and flow, but I will always be intentional about bringing us back to your desired goals.

    I want therapy sessions with me to feel genuine, authentic and transparent.
