Yes, therapy can be highly effective. Research shows that therapy helps many people improve their mental health, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and achieve personal goals. The effectiveness of therapy depends on several factors, including the therapist’s expertise, the therapeutic methods used, the therapeutic relationship and the individual’s willingness to engage in the process. I utilize attachment-based practices such as Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) and Individuals (EFIT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Brainspotting, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to address a variety of issues. Many clients experience significant improvements in their well-being and relationships through consistent and committed participation in therapy.

The frequency of therapy sessions will depend on your individual needs and treatment goals. Most people start weekly or biweekly and step down as needed. We can discuss a schedule that works best for you during our initial consultation.

Yes, therapy is confidential, and your privacy is protected by law. However, there are some exceptions to confidentiality, which are covered in my informed consent paperwork and will be discussed during our first session. These exceptions typically include situations involving harm to yourself or others, abuse or neglect of a child, elderly, or dependent adult, and court orders. If you have questions or concerns regarding this, we can discuss it during our first session.

As an out-of-network provider, some insurers will reimburse clients directly for their out-of-pocket costs of therapy. If you will need a superbill, please contact your insurer prior to your first session. Be sure to ask them if they will cover the type of therapy you' need (individual, couples, family), if there is a limit on number of sessions, and how much of the out-of-pocket fee they will reimburse.

At your first session, we will talk about your reasons for seeking therapy, what areas you’re looking for healing or improvement, and any questions you may have. During this session, you’ll also get to know my approach and how I work to see if we’re a good fit to work together. I will listen attentively to your needs so I can provide you with a plan to provide the most effective treatment.

After you initiate contact via email, text, contact form or phone, I will respond with my current availability and answer any brief questions. Once scheduled, you’ll receive an email from me with the necessary intake paperwork I’ll need you to complete before our first session. I’ll also provide directions to my office, payment structure, and more.
