Frequently Asked Questions

  • I offer individual therapy and assessment services for adolescents aged 15 and older and adults. Sessions are tailored to each client's unique needs and goals, drawing from evidence-based approaches to support a wide range of mental health concerns. Please note that I do not offer couples counseling or family therapy.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our Contact Form or “Request a Consultation” buttons and I will follow up, usually within 1 business day, to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. This consultation is a low-pressure opportunity to share a little about what brings you in and get a sense of whether we might be a good fit. If you decide to move forward, we will schedule your first full session and get you set up in the client portal, where you can complete your intake paperwork at your own pace.

  • The most common feedback I hear from clients is that I am not a "cookie cutter" therapist — and that is something I take pride in. I take time to get to know who you are — your history, your personality, your quirks — and I let that shape how we work together rather than defaulting to a one-size-fits-all approach. I also tend to bring humor into the room when it fits, because I think therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation rather than a formal appointment.

  • Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and conversational. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest — even about the things that are hard to say out loud. Sessions do not follow a rigid script. We go where you need to go, and I work to meet you where you are. I ask questions, offer perspective, and will occasionally make you laugh. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of good work, so building trust and rapport is always a priority from the start. My hope is that from the very first session, you leave feeling heard and a little more hopeful than when you walked in.

  • You can reach out anytime via our Contact page or “Request a Consultation” buttons. I aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.
