The best way to schedule a first session is to book a free consultation (click the button at the top right of the website).

That’s completely okay. 

No therapist is a perfect fit for every person out there, and I want you to be with a therapist that you are excited to work with.

If that’s not me - I will gladly provide you with referral options for other therapists that might be a better fit.

Yes. (Almost) everything you say in therapy is completely confidential and will not ever leave the room.

I take your confidentiality so seriously that I will not come up to you if I see you on the street or in the grocery store because I want to make sure to protect your confidentiality completely (of course, if you want to say approach me and say hi, that’s great too).

The few exceptions to confidentiality are when there’s a high risk of you harming yourself or someone else, if there is minor or elder abuse, or if there is a court order for my court records.

The length of time a person is in therapy really varies from person to person.

There is absolutely no contract, requirement or a minimum number of sessions you have to come, and you are free to end therapy at any time.

That being said, most clients I work with start to recognize they can see themselves really benefitting from our time together around the 3rd or 4th session together, and we will work together weekly or bi-weekly several months.

I’ll ask you to tell me why you’re seeking therapy at this time so I can get a sense of I’d be a good fit to help with your counseling needs, and you can ask me any questions you have.

If we both feel like it’s a good fit, we’ll schedule a time when we can have a first session together.

If it doesn’t feel like a good fit, I can provide you with contact information for other therapists that I think would be a good for you.

In the first session you’ll share about what is bringing you to therapy and the change you are hoping to see. We’ll create goals together and discuss a plan to work towards those goals.

At the end of the first session, we can determine together if we’d be a good fit to work together.

If you’d like more details about what a first session looks like with me, check out this article I wrote on first counseling sessions.

My full fee rate for individual and couples therapy is $250 for the first initial assessment, and $180 per 50-55 minute session after that.

A limited number of sliding scale spots are available for qualifying individuals.

I currently accept Blue Cross Blue Shield.

If you have another insurance, you can likely submit a Super Bill to your insurance for partial reimbursement. It’s as easy as sending an email to them once a month, and I can help walk you through the process.

I offer a very limited number of sliding scale spots for qualifying individuals.
