FAQs

  • The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, ask each other questions, explore what you want to get out of therapy, and consider how we might work together.

    Subsequent sessions can range from unstructured, exploratory talking therapy to highly structured therapy in which we use specific techniques and exercises. We will be guided by your evolving wants and needs, and my knowledge and experience of evidence-based psychological methods. 

    All sessions are Teletherapy sessions.

  • All sessions are teletherapy sessions. Teletherapy is therapy done through a live video connection between the therapist and client.

    While teletherapy has become increasingly popular over the past several months, it has actually been utilized for years in a variety of settings.

    According to the American Psychological Association, teletherapy is as effective as in-person psychotherapy, and even removes some barriers to receiving support (i.e. eliminates commute time, childcare challenges, privacy concerns, safety/illness, etc.).

  • While you don’t have to be at home to participate in your teletherapy session, I do ask that you are in a safe and confidential location that provides you the space to focus on you free from distraction and interruption. We recommend your home when possible.

    You and your partner can attend the session from different places ~

    That is one of the many benefits of online therapy. When you book an appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with a link. Just send the link to your partner and he or she can connect by clicking the same link. All 3 of us will be in a video chat together and we all can see each other at the same time.

  • Absolutely! I am perfectly comfortable with breastfeeding/bottle feeding, fussiness, diaper changes, etc. I’m a mom too so I understand how hard it can be to find time for therapy and figure out childcare especially in the first year. I will meet you where you are at.

  • Sessions are confidential with a limited number of exceptions, such as if I believe you or someone else is at risk of harm, in the course of clinical supervision, and where there is a legal requirement such as suspected child abuse or elder abuse.

    All software I use is secure and fully HIPAA compliant, meaning that it meets the highest standards for storing personal health information. All communication including email, text, and phone calls are also HIPAA compliant. 

  • Absolutely! We welcome all couples, including same-sex couples and those in alternative relationships (i.e. polyamorous, kink, BDSM, etc).
