FAQs
I offer an initial 15 minute phone consultation to give you an opportunity to ask questions about getting the help you want. It also helps me get a sense of what you’re looking for and the kind of changes you want to make. If we’re a good fit, then we can schedule your first appointment.

During the first minutes of this meeting, I like to hear a little about who you are – interests, relationship/family background, work, etc. We’ll then move deeper into your story and your goals. You’ll have a chance to ask questions about my approach, background, etc.
As we’re getting to know each other, we’re both getting a clearer sense of whether I’m the professional you can trust to help you meet your goals.
For counseling or therapy, we always meet weekly for the first few weeks. Then we’ll decide together on the frequency that best helps you achieve your goals for therapy.
For all other services, we will discuss frequency and decide on how to customize your plan to best provide the support and growth you desire.

There aren’t any hard and fast rules when it comes to this. It entirely depends on what brought you to therapy, your goals, and your effort to practice what you’re working on in your daily life.
Each person takes a different path. Once you reach your goals, together we’ll decide whether to start the process of saying goodbye or focus on new goals.
I promise to support you as long as you need, but no more than necessary. In some cases, clients prefer to check-in with me as needed or for monthly maintenance sessions after our initial work together ends.
I’m glad you asked. I believe that the intangible thing that heals in therapy is a good fit between the client and the therapist. It’s that “connection” that only happens with certain people. As a person, I’m equal parts sensitive, practical, down-to-earth, and accessible.
I speak honestly with a tactful way so you can hear the message and get the insight you need. Depending on what brings you to counseling, I can be collaborative and help you arrive at your own conclusions or I can be prescriptive – just let me know if you want a solution to your problems.
