FAQs

  • Q: What if I don’t fit into the areas you specialize in?

    I work with individuals from all walks of life, and while I have a focus on certain areas, I’m happy to help with common concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and more. If you’re unsure if we’re the right fit, please reach out, and we can explore how I can best support you.

  • Q: What can I expect during my first session?

    Our first session is all about getting to know each other and discussing your reasons for seeking therapy. I’ll ask about your current challenges, goals, and any background information that will help guide our work. This is also your chance to assess if you feel comfortable with my approach—your trust and comfort are key.

  • Q: How do I schedule an appointment?

    Scheduling is simple! You can reach out via email, phone, or use my booking link here.

  • Q: What is your cancellation policy?

    Life happens! If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give me at least 24 hours' notice. Missed sessions without prior notice may incur a cancellation fee. This policy helps ensure availability for all clients, and I’m happy to work with you if you need to adjust your appointment.

  • Q: What if I don’t feel comfortable with therapy or with you as a counselor?

    It’s completely normal to feel unsure at first. If, at any point, you feel we’re not a good fit, we can discuss your concerns openly. I can help you find another resource or counselor who better suits your needs. Your comfort and progress are my top priorities.

  • Q: How long does each session last?

    Each session typically lasts 53-55 minutes, which is usually enough to make meaningful progress. If you need additional time, we can discuss extending your session as needed.

  • Q: Is therapy confidential?

    Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. What you share stays between us, except in cases where there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others, or when required by law. In such cases, I’ll always discuss it with you beforehand.

  • Q: Do you accept insurance?

    Yes, I accept Blue Cross, Aetna, and Cigna insurance through Headway. I also offer private-pay options for those who prefer. If you want to confirm your benefits or have questions, feel free to reach out!

  • Q: How do I know if therapy is right for me?

    If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the next steps in your life, therapy can help. Starting with a consultation allows us to explore your goals and see if therapy is the right step for you.

  • Q: What is your approach to therapy?

    I use a strengths-based, collaborative approach that focuses on your strengths and goals. Together, we’ll explore challenges, set meaningful objectives, and develop strategies to build resilience and create healthier relationships—both with yourself and others.
