Frequently Asked Question's
Therapy doesn't have to feel confusing. Let's make getting started simple.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes! I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation for prospective clients. This is an opportunity for us to briefly connect, discuss what you're looking for in therapy, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether we're a good fit before scheduling your first appointment.
What can I expect during my first session?
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, your personal history, your goals, and any questions or concerns you may have. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive environment where you feel heard and understood from the very beginning.
Do you offer in-person or virtual therapy?
At this time, all sessions are provided through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Virtual therapy offers flexibility and convenience while maintaining the same high-quality, confidential care as traditional in-person therapy.
What ages do you work with?
I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, chronic illness, developmental concerns, and life stressors.
What types of therapy do you use?
I primarily utilize a person-centered approach, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectica Behaviora Therapy (DBT). Every client is unique, so I tailor treatment to meet your individual needs, strengths, and goals.
How long are therapy sessions?
Most therapy sessions are approximately 53 minutes in length. We'll determine a schedule together based on your goals and needs, with many clients beginning with weekly sessions.
Do you accept insurance?
I am currently in the process of credentialing with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) and plan to begin accepting BCBS insurance once credentialing is complete. I also accept private-pay clients.
What if I'm nervous about starting therapy?
Feeling nervous is completely normal. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, especially if you've never been to therapy before. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin and we'll take things one step at a time, together!
How do I schedule an appointment?
Getting started is simple! You can reach out through the contact form on my website to request a free consultation. From there, we'll discuss your needs, answer any questions, and find a time that works best for your schedule.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is extremely important to me. Therapy is confidential, with a few legal and ethical exceptions related to safety that will be reviewed with you during your first appointment.
