Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you work with?

What's your availability?

What can I expect during the first session?
The first session is an intake. We will go over what brings you to therapy and a little bit about your history. You can ask me questions about my work, and we'll talk about your goals.
Afterward, we will set up recurring weekly sessions to start, unless there are scheduling or financial difficulties.
What does a typical session look like with you?
I'll ask about your week and connect a problem from the week to something from the past that was similar or to which you responded in the same way. If nothing from the week has happened, we'll talk about things that ramp up your anxiety, depression, etc., and trace those feelings back.
We can also sit and talk about reality TV, your next vacation, or the latest true-crime or political event, if that's what you're feeling that day. You get to determine how the session goes.
How do you support clients outside of sessions?
My clients can text me anytime, with the understanding that I will bring it up in our next session. If a crisis occurs during business hours, I will respond, and we can set up a meeting. I don't provide therapy via text or email.
What does a good client-therapist relationship look like to you?
I want therapy to be your favorite day of the week. Not every therapy day will be fun, but I hope you leave feeling something-inspired, better, sad, whatever.
I like to joke around with my clients and build a real relationship. It isn't like a relationship with an actual friend, but I hope that if we were to see each other on the street, you'd be excited to say hi!
