Frequently Asked Questions:

We will start by meeting weekly so that we can build a relationship through consistent time together. This allows me to get a deep understanding of your needs and goals so that we can tailor your treatment accordingly. Over time, we may decide that meeting every other week feels appropriate. I encourage regularly checking in about how therapy is going and how the cadence feels.

Time spent in therapy varies from person to person. Some people come in for just a few sessions to target a specific issue, and others may decide to be in therapy for years—and then there’s everything in between!

I do not take insurance, and couples therapy is rarely covered. You’re always welcome to call your insurance company to see if they provide partial reimbursement with superbills. If finances are a concern, please ask me about sliding scale.

Individual therapy is 185/session and couples therapy is 225/session. My fees reflect not only the time spent in session, but also work I do behind the scenes to ensure I am providing you with the best possible care, including clinical consultation, EFT specific groups, and ongoing education and trainings. If finances are a concern, please ask me about sliding scale fees.

Our first session is a chance to get oriented together. I'll ask about your relationship history and what's brought you in, we'll start to explore what you're hoping for, and you'll have plenty of space to ask questions about how I work. There's no pressure to have it all figured out — we're just beginning.

The initial intake session will require that both partners are present so that I can begin to assess your needs and goals and start getting to know you as a couple. The following two sessions will be attended individually by each member of the couple. These sessions allow me to deepen my assessment of your needs for therapy, as well as better understand each of you and your personal histories on an individual level so that I can better serve you in couples therapy. From there, we will reconvene and both members of the couple will be present for sessions unless otherwise specified.

I primarily utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) when working with couples. EFT is an evidence-based approach to treatment and focuses on de-escalating conflict cycles and processing emotions experientially so that we can help you get moving toward your goals quickly. While I sometimes implement other skills, I find that throwing couples communication tools and expecting those to be implemented in the midst of conflict/escalation does not set couples up for success. I see my role as supporting you in real time when you are triggered or blocking connection, providing empathy for where you are, and then facilitating your ability to respond to your partner and/or the moment in a way that will be most helpful for your goals in the relationship.

All session cancellations cancelled less than 48 hours before appointment start time will be charged in full.
