What can I expect from our first session?

In our first session, I will get to know who you are and where you came from, and you will start understanding how I approach our work.  I will collect information from you by asking questions about your family of origin, your previous experience working with therapists, and how you would like to use our time together.  People come to therapy for various reasons, and I am happy to sit with you through your reasons, whether it is to process emotions, get new ideas about how to solve relational problems, or heal from previous pain.  I will go at your pace, while assessing insight and balance, and we will adjust future sessions based on your needs and my expertise.

How long are therapy sessions, and what are the fees?

Sessions typically last 50 minutes, and payment is due at the end of each session. My fee for a 50-minute individual session is $170, and $200 for a couples and family therapy session.  Although I don’t work in-network with insurance, I can provide a receipt for you to submit to your health insurance based on your plan’s coverage. Contact me for more details about your insurance submission needs.

What should I do in case of an emergency?

If you are in crisis, please seek immediate help by calling 911, visiting your nearest hospital, or contacting a local emergency service. My voicemail is always available, but it is not intended to function as a crisis resource.
