In order for therapy to be effective it is important that you feel comfortable working with me and see the possibility of a strong therputic alliance. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation for you to ask questions and get an inital impression of my therapeutic approach. During our first session I encourage you to ask questions so you can further assess if I am the right fit for you. After our first session, I will check in on how you are feeling about working together and if you would like to continue meeting. If you decide not to work with me after meeting, I will offer you referrals to other resources and clinicians to support you on your journey.

It depends, each person is unique. DBT typically requires a minimum of 6-12 months to truly feel the benefits and results that the treatment is capable of. Cognitive behavioral therapy typically lasts between 12-20 sessions. EMDR can work immediately on a specific trauma and often times folks require and want more time to prepare to do the trauma work and process the insights.

Frequently, people will address the primary issue that brought them to therapy and decide that they would like to continue with therapy to address other issues, stressors, or to gain additional therapeutic tools.

Therapy is very personal, and the duration of it can vary greatly. Together we will address the projected time frame of treatment for your unique needs.

I require at least 24 hours’ notice in advance of your scheduled session in order to cancel or reschedule. If an appointment is cancelled, missed, or rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be charged the full fee for the missed session, except in the event of an emergency.

I understand that life can be complicated, with this in mind I allow one ‘free’ pass if you miss a session without canceling prior to 24 hours.

I am an out-of-network provider which means that I do not take insurance. I can provide you with a superbill at the end of the month, so that you can submit them to your health insurance provider for reimbursement.

If you are in a crisis and a risk to yourself or others you must contact 911 or 988 or go to your nearest emergency room
