Frequently Asked Questions

During our initial free 15-minute consultation, we'll talk about your specific needs and circumstances. For new clients, I generally recommend committing to weekly sessions for the first month. This initial period is crucial for starting to work towards a goal we'll set in our first session. After this month, we'll take a moment to reassess your progress and how you're feeling about the therapy. Once you achieve your initial goal, we'll have another discussion to decide if you'd like to pursue a new goal and continue our sessions. At this point, we'll also talk about how often and how long future sessions should be, tailoring the therapy to your evolving needs and progress.

Upon scheduling your first appointment, I'll provide you with some paperwork to complete and upload through the client portal before we meet. In our initial session, we'll focus on what you hope to achieve through our therapy sessions. Together, we'll set an initial goal, establishing the groundwork for our therapeutic relationship. This goal forms the basis of our initial therapeutic contract. From there, I'll engage you with questions to understand the obstacles you're facing in reaching your goals, and we'll start the process of exploration and discovery. This initial stage is crucial in setting the direction for our subsequent sessions and your overall journey in therapy.

My rate for each individual 50-minute therapy session is $30. For group therapy (run time of 8 weeks), it is free. I also offer a sliding scale based off of financial need, please inquire during our consultation. 

All sessions will be conducted virtually via a telehealth platform named Simple Practice. To join, you just need to click on the appointment link from a computer or mobile device equipped with a microphone and camera. It's important to be in a space where you feel secure and comfortable to speak freely, ensuring the area has good lighting and stable internet access. Other than that, come as you are and we will start your personal growth journey!
