Frequently Asked Questions

Sessions and Process

  • What is the first therapy session like?

    In our first session, I’ll get to know you better and we’ll discuss your goals for therapy. I’ll also explain what to expect in future sessions and how often we’ll meet, so you know exactly what to expect. 

  • How should I prepare for my first session?

    Please make sure to complete all paperwork beforehand. Also, have your insurance details and method of payment ready for the session. 

  • How long is each session?

    Each session usually lasts 60 minutes, unless I specify otherwise. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation if you’d like to discuss things before our full session. 

  • What is your therapeutic approach/ style?

    My approach is primarily Person-Centered, focusing heavily on DBT interventions. I also use Gestalt therapy in specific situations when it’s beneficial. 

  • How do online sessions work?

    You’ll receive a link for the session on the morning of our appointment. Once you sign in, you’ll be placed in a waiting area until I join the session. Please make sure all paperwork is completed before the session starts. 

  • What is your cancellation policy? What should I know about canceling or rescheduling sessions?

    You can cancel any session without a fee if you do so at least 24 hours in advance. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice or don’t show up, there will be a $75 cancellation fee. You can always contact me to reschedule based on availability. 

  • What type of software do you use for scheduling?

    I use both Headway and Simple Practice. 

  • How should I book an appointment?

    You can book directly through Headway or Simple Practice, or you can contact me directly to schedule your appointment.
