Not Sure Which is Right for You?

Other questions you might have:

  • Absolutely. Many of my teen and young adult clients come to me seeking help navigating LGBTQIA+ challenges!

  • Every individual's journey in therapy is unique, just as each person's challenges and experiences are distinct. For some, positive changes might be noticed within a few sessions, while for others, it might take longer to identify and work through underlying issues. Please know this: Simply seeking help is already a significant step forward!

  • It depends on what we’re working through and the age of the client — for example, with my youngest clients, I allow them to free play for a bit to adjust to the space and relax, before we move on to talk and do play therapy. With teens and young adults, we may lean on a variety of different modalities, depending on what makes the most sense for that session.

  • We talk — that’s it. You can ask me anything you want, and I may ask you questions about what led you to therapy, so that we can both evaluate if moving forward with therapy sessions together is the best move at this time

  • Your collaboration is 100% welcomed and encouraged. Here’s an overview of what this partnership may look like:

    • Initial assessment: At the start, we'll discuss your concerns and hopes for your child's therapy.

    • Regular updates: While respecting your child's confidentiality, we'll have periodic check-ins to share general progress and feedback.

    • Integration: At times, I might recommend family sessions or at-home strategies.

    Your involvement is key, and I'm here to guide both you and your child through this journey.

    For older children and teens, autonomy is part of growing up, and as the therapist I take this into consideration in my work with them.

  • No problem! Reach out through my Contact page, and I’ll be happy to answer additional questions.

  • No, I do not directly accept insurance. However, some clients receive reimbursement from their insurance companies by submitting invoices from our sessions. I’m happy to provide any necessary documentation to assist you in seeking out-of-network reimbursement. It's a good idea to check with your insurance provider about their reimbursement policies for out-of-network services.

  • I require at least 24 hours of advance notice if you need to cancel the session. If you provide me with notice less than 24 hours before your session, you will incur a cancellation fee, which is the full charge for the session you are missing.

  • I take an eclectic approach to sessions, bringing in different modalities depending on what will best serve you or your child! Here are some types of therapy I’m trained in:

    DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)

    CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

    Mindfulness-based stress reduction and mindfulness

    Psychodynamic therapy

    Play therapy

    Couples and family therapy (certification pending)

    ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

    Anxiety

    Depression

    Addiction or substance abuse

    Self-harm behaviors

    Your choice!

  • Your privacy matters a lot here. What you share in therapy is kept confidential. That means it stays just between us — with a few serious exceptions. Here they are:

    1. Safety first: If I’m worried that you might hurt yourself or someone else, I need to make sure everyone stays safe. That’s my number one rule.

    2. No harm zone: If you tell me about someone hurting you now or in the past, or if I strongly suspect that might be happening, I have to step in to help protect you. It’s not just me; it’s the law.

    3. Legal stuff: Not often, sometimes though, a judge can ask to see our therapy documentation for a court case, and I might have to share it with them.
