Frequently Asked Questions
-
I primarily work with adults who are struggling with:
Anxiety/Stress
Trauma
Relationship Issues
Life transitions
Due to the nature of my practice and my areas of expertise, I am not an appropriate therapist for those struggling with eating disorders, substance-use disorders, or active and persistent suicidal ideation. In these cases, I can offer referrals to other clinicians.

This answer is different for everyone and can be hard to predict. However, I make it a priority to periodically review progress and revise goals together. Therapy is hard work and it can take time to feel better, but my intention is always for you to feel relief as soon as possible.
To maintain momentum and consistency, therapy typically starts with weekly sessions, but it’s flexible. As people start to feel better, time between sessions tend to increase.
-
Yes! Research shows that telehealth therapy is just as effectiveas in-person sessions. Virtual sessions also allow people to avoid common barriers to care, like time constraints, transportation, and privacy concerns.
You may be wondering if teletherapy would allow you and your therapist to build the kind of relationship you may have experienced via in-person therapy. In my experience, this is less of a barrier than you might think. In video sessions, it’s still possible to read each other’s energy and nonverbal communication — and these important cues can lead to fruitful explorations.
Telehealth is best suited for someone with mild to moderate symptoms/distress (not those who are in crisis), comfortable with technology, and access to a private space.

Click here to send me an inquiry, and from there, we’'ll schedule a consultation call to get a chance to chat! After that, if you decide to schedule an intake session, I’ll send you paperwork to fill out before our first session. If you’re using insurance, you’ll also be prompted to set up an account at Alma or Headway before we get started.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and to dig deeper into the intake paperwork you fill out before our first session. I’ll ask you more about what’s bringing you into therapy and discuss your background, including your family, relationships, work or school, and support system. You're welcome to share anything you feel is important or relevant — there's no pressure to cover everything at once. The goal is simply to begin understanding your experiences and what you're hoping to gain from therapy.
