If you’ve never been to therapy before or you have specific questions, I hope I’m able to answer them here.  If you don't find the information you're looking for, I welcome your call, email or text.  I’m happy to receive your connection in whatever way is most comfortable for you.

Session length:

Since I solely see couples in my practice, all sessions are 90 minutes in length. If there are any individual sessions needed to further the couples work, those sessions will also be 90 minutes at the same fee as a regular couples session.

What to expect:

After an initial free 20-minute phone consultation, should you chose to work with me, our first session will be at my office where we can discuss your reasons for coming to therapy, and I will lead the session to gain as much historical information about the relationship as I can.  I’ll discuss confidentiality, office policies and do my best to answer any questions you may have.  My deep desire is for you both to feel comfortable enough to be transparent with your challenges in the relationship.  The first few meetings may feel like a “get to know you” experience.  This is normal, and I assure you we will be creating the safety and trust you may therapeutically need.  Since I use a Gottman intake technique, we’ll have three structured sessions to front end as much information in an effort to kick start the therapeutic process. I usually ask couples to come to at least four to five sessions before deciding if they’d like to continue working with me.  It’s crucial for you to comfortably connect with your therapist so you feel safe talking about any and all issues. 

Can I get parent coaching?

I am able to offer parent coaching as part of the therapeutic process upon request.  Often it's helpful to use parent coaching as a way to alleviate anxiety or stress due to issues in the parent/child relationship. 

Fees

My fees can be discussed at our first 20 minute consult. While I do not take insurance, I am able to provide a super bill for insurance companies if requested.  Please contact your insurance company to see if they are willing to reimburse personal therapy. I am unable to take sliding scale at this time.
