  • Psychotherapy is different from talking with family and friends about your concerns. A welcoming and well-trained professional can help clearly identify the problem and provide guidance through the healing process. Lasting solutions and enjoying life are possible! If you are considering therapy, you are probably a good candidate for therapy. If you are not sure, you could try out one session to help you make a decision.

  • I encourage you to check in with yourself and see if the fit feels right to you. Through this website and our initial contacts, you will get impressions of me and what it might be like to work together. At the end of our first session, I will ask you how it felt to meet and share with me. Trust your intuition as you decide whether or not to move forward. Therapy requires an investment of your time, energy, and money, so finding a therapist who is the right fit for you is important.

  • My goal is to offer everyone a warm welcome and a safe space as we explore the possibility of working together. It is normal to feel nervous during the first session, but most people feel more relaxed as we get started. I will ask you to tell me about the reasons you are seeking psychotherapy and what outcomes you would like to experience. By the end of the first session, we will both decide if we are well matched and want to continue meeting.

  • Length of treatment varies significantly depending on the nature of your concerns and your goals. Some problems can be treated in a relatively short amount of time (8-12 sessions), while others take more time. During our initial meetings, we will discuss your treatment needs and length of therapy.

  • We will talk about what you are looking for, if my practice is suited to meet your needs, fees and payment, and I am happy to answer any other questions. If you decide to move forward, we will schedule an appointment.

  • I offer couples therapy, individual therapy, and discernment counseling.

  • I accept all major credit cards, as well as FSA and HSA cards.

  • Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice will be charged for the session. This fee is waived if the session is rescheduled within a week.

  • Privacy is absolutely crucial for therapy to be successful. Our sessions are confidential, but there are important exceptions allowed and required by law. We will review these in our first session.
