Frequently Asked Questions

What can therapy do for me?
Therapy can help you gain insight, self-awareness, and empowerment in taking a new direction and approach in achieving your goals. A therapy session can feel like a deep conversation, in which you are able to talk fully about what matters to you. I will work with you to help you better understand any issues and patterns of behavior that are holding you back, and help you gain personal strength to overcome obstacles which have prevented you from being more fulfilled.

How long does a therapy session last?
Therapy sessions are generally 45 or 60 minutes in length. Sessions can be longer when necessary, for example, in working with couples and families.

How long will I need to come to therapy?
The length of therapy depends on the individual circumstances of each case.

How will I know you are the right therapist for me?
I can set up a free phone consultation when you call. After the consultation, you can decide whether to set up a first appointment in the office, or I can refer you to another professional if you need a different type of specialty.

What are your office hours?
I work Monday through Friday. My schedule is flexible and I have evening appointments available.

What are your fees?
I will discuss fees with you when you call for a consultation and will make every effort to help you be able to afford therapy.
