Through individual therapy sessions, I aim to help individuals if they feel stuck in life. Or if they are struggling with a certain element in their life such as work or relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do therapy sessions cost?2021-11-15T04:10:11+00:00

Individual sessions are $125 for a 50-minute session. Couples counseling sessions are $150 for an 80-minute session.

What are the most common problems of couples?2021-06-21T14:45:33+00:00

Problems with couples span a wide variety of issues.  Infidelity is a common one, but I am seeing more couples over the past few years come in where the relationship is simply not aligned or as well connected as in years past, where couples may be growing apart. COVID has certainly led to couples reevaluating their relationship, and since we are now out and about again, this is certainly the time to address the issues that have come to the forefront.

Other common problems: frequent arguments, communication problems, sexual problems, jealousy, lack of respect, spending too much time working, etc.

What are your COVID-19 safety practices?2021-06-14T14:52:10+00:00

I require proof of vaccination for all clients and do not require clients to wear a face mask during the appointments.  I have a HEPA Air Purifier appliance operating in the office and have face masks and hand sanitizer available as well.

How does couples therapy work?2021-06-21T14:45:14+00:00

It starts off with a free interview during which I will explain the process of couples work.  Initially, I work with each person individually for several months eventually working up to doing couples sessions. From there, individual and couples session will occur as needed. A successful model has been where both partners continue with individual sessions and meet once or twice a month for couples.

How should I choose a therapist?2021-05-06T03:20:14+00:00

Meeting with the therapist before beginning therapy for a consultation or interview is extremely important. Know that you are in the driver’s seat – you are allowed to consider different therapists and counselors to find a good fit for you. Be sure to choose someone who you feel safe and comfortable with – since you’ll be sharing deep parts of yourself with this person, you’ll want to feel respected and understood by them. Get a sense of their background and experience and have them explain how they approach helping their clients. Does this sound like an approach you’re comfortable with? Ask any questions you have and be upfront about your concerns. Most importantly, trust your gut; if you’re not comfortable, it’s okay to continue the interviewing process.
