Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy is a powerful tool for growth, healing, and self-discovery. It can be incredibly beneficial if you're experiencing a difficult time.

While I can't definitively say if therapy is "right" for you without a conversation, I can tell you what makes therapy effective for most people: a willingness to explore, a desire for change, and a commitment to the process. Many clients find that even just one or two sessions can provide valuable insights and a sense of direction. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation, which is a great, no-pressure way for us to connect, discuss your unique needs, and see if my approach aligns with your goals. Ultimately, deciding if therapy is right for you is a personal journey that I can support you through.

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots. A sliding scale allows for a reduced fee based on your income and financial circumstances.

If you are interested in a sliding scale spot, please mention it during your initial contact or consultation. We will discuss your current financial situation confidentially to determine an appropriate fee. To ensure fairness and availability for as many individuals as possible, each sliding scale arrangement is set for a six-month period. At the end of this term, we will reassess your financial situation and work collaboratively towards transitioning to the full rate if your circumstances have improved. This allows for a structured path towards sustainable support while also making space for others in need.

At the beginning of their therapeutic journey, I recommend weekly sessions. This regular cadence provides consistent support, builds momentum, and allows for deeper exploration of the issues at hand.

As we progress and you start to feel more confident in managing your challenges or have achieved some of your initial goals, some clients consider switching to bi-weekly sessions.

My office is located on the second floor of a home built in 1905, and is only accessible via stairs. We do not have an elevator or ramp. If stair access is a concern for you, I am happy to offer telehealth (video) sessions as an alternative.

I understand life happens! There is no charge for your first missed appointment. After that, you will be charged for any appointment if I do not receive 48 hours notice. There is no fee for appointments cancelled more than 24 hours beforehand.
