Common questions about individual therapy
How do I know if we’re a good fit ?
I’ll be checking in with you regularly to make sure you’re getting what you need from our sessions. I encourage you to be open and honest with me about your thoughts and feelings regarding our time together. If at any point you feel we’re not a good match, please know that I’m committed to supporting you find a therapist who is right for you.
How long should I be in therapy for?
That really depends on your unique needs and goals. Some people find what they need in just a few sessions, while others prefer to work through their challenges over several months or even years. I recommend starting with weekly sessions, and then gradually reducing the frequency.

What population do you work with?

Common questions about couples therapy
Is couples therapy only for married or long-term couples?
Not at all! Couples therapy is for any relationship, whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or in a long-term partnership. It’s about strengthening your bond, no matter your stage in the relationship.
Will my insurance cover for couples therapy?
Most insurance plans do not cover couples or marriage counseling. Health insurance generally only covers treatments considered “medically necessary” for a diagnosed mental health condition, and relationship challenges on their own typically do not meet this criteria. However, it’s a good idea to contact your insurance provider directly to inquire about your mental health or behavioral health benefits.
What does the process of starting couples therapy look like?
- We’ll begin with a 90-minute long joint session, where I’ll gather detailed information about your relationship history and the challenges you’re currently facing. During this time, I may observe how you interact, including moments of conflict or stuck patterns. This session is followed by a relationship checkup, which is a more formal evaluation of your relationship.
Then, I’ll meet with each of you individually for 50 minutes. This is your opportunity to share anything that feels difficult to say in front of your partner. During this time, I’ll also gather a more detailed personal history from each of you.
We’ll come back together for a 50-minute joint session to review the feedback I’ve compiled from all the information gathered so far. By this point, we’ll have a clearer understanding of where you are, where you want to be, and what it will take to get there.
Common questions about family therapy
How do I know if my family needs therapy?
If your family is experiencing frequent conflicts, miscommunication, a lack of connection, or struggles adjusting to life changes, therapy can help you work through these issues in a safe, constructive way.
How long does family therapy take?
The duration of therapy can vary. It may take a few sessions to address immediate issues or several months for deeper, long-term work.
Can we use health insurance for family therapy?
At this time- I’m out of network with all insurance providers. However, I can provide a Superbill for a possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Common questions about life coaching
What is life coaching, and how is it different from therapy?
Life coaching focuses on helping you set and achieve specific personal or professional goals, while therapy often focuses on addressing mental health issues. Coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented, whereas therapy may be more about healing and introspection.
Is life coaching covered by health insurance?
In most cases, life coaching is not covered by health insurance because it is considered a personal development service rather than a medical or mental health treatment. However, some employers may offer coaching as part of wellness programs or professional development benefits, so it’s worth checking with your HR department.
Is life coaching confidential?
Yes, all coaching sessions are completely confidential, ensuring a safe and supportive space for open and honest discussions.
