FAQ’s

• How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?

To be honest, you don’t! That’s why consultation calls are such a great first step—they give you a sense of my style and allow us both to see if our schedules align and if working together feels like a good fit. From there, I usually suggest meeting at least two to three times before making any big decisions. After those first few sessions, if it feels supportive and aligned, we can continue!

• What if I have to cancel our appointment last minute?

Things happen! I just ask that you give me at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. If it’s within that window, the session fee is usually charged.

• Can you adjust your rates?

I offer a free 20-minute consultation call where we can talk about your needs, goals, and what feels sustainable financially. If it turns out that I’m not the right match, I’m always happy to offer referrals to other therapists who may better fit your financial picture.

• What happens if I’m late?

I’ll hold your spot for the duration of your scheduled time, but the session will still end at the original time.

• How long does therapy take?

There’s no set timeline — it depends on what you’re working on, and what feels right for you. Some people come for a few months to address a specific issue, while others stay longer for on-going support.

• Do you give homework or things to work on between sessions?

Sometimes I may suggest reflections, grounding practices, or body-based tools to try between sessions, but it’s always collaborative. The goal isn’t more “work'“ — it’s about weaving what we talk about into your real life.

• Do you work with teens without involving parents?

For teens, I typically start by meeting with the family to understand what kind of support system is in place. After that, sessions are confidential between the teen and me, unless there’s a safety concern.

• What if I’ve never been to therapy before?

That’s completely fine! I’ll walk you through what to expect, and we can take things at your own pace. My role is to meet you where you are, not rush the process.

• What kind of therapy do you do?

My work is grounded in Somatic Experiencing®, a body-based approach to healing, trauma and stress, and guided by a depth and trauma-informed lens. From that foundation, I integrate a variety of other modalities depending on what fits best for you — including parts work (IFS), relational therapy, mindfulness, and creative or experiential approaches. My style is flexible and collaborative, always focused on what helps you feel more connected, grounded and alive.

• How often will we meet?

I meet with clients once a week for 50-minute sessions. This consistency helps build trust and momentum in the work while creating space for you to land, reflect, and grow.
