Frequently Asked Questions
-
Therapy can be helpful if you feel stuck in patterns that you can’t quite figure out on your own—whether that’s anxiety, overthinking, relationship challenges, or feeling overwhelmed by life transitions. You don’t need to be in a crisis for therapy to be useful; many people come in simply because they want support, clarity, or a different way of understanding what they’re experiencing.
It may be a good fit if you’re curious about yourself, want to feel more emotionally grounded, or notice that the same struggles keep showing up in different areas of your life. If you’re wondering whether it could help, that question alone is often a meaningful place to start.
-
Couples often think therapy is only for when things feel “serious enough,” but it can actually be most helpful when you start noticing patterns you can’t seem to shift on your own. This might look like the same arguments repeating, communication breaking down quickly, or feeling misunderstood even when you’re trying to connect.
It can also be a supportive space during transitions—like moving in together, getting engaged, getting married, having children, or adjusting to major life stressors. If something in your relationship feels important but hard to navigate alone, couples therapy can help you slow things down, understand what’s happening between you, and build a stronger way of relating.

Couples therapy and premarital counseling share many of the same goals: strengthening communication, deepening connection, and helping partners build a healthier relationship. The main difference is the focus. Premarital counseling is designed to help couples intentionally prepare for marriage by exploring topics like expectations, shared values, conflict, and the future you're building together. Couples therapy can be helpful at any stage of a relationship, whether you're navigating a specific challenge, feeling disconnected, or simply wanting to strengthen an already healthy relationship. Both provide space for meaningful conversations, greater understanding, and lasting growth.

First sessions can be intimidating, even for those who have been in therapy before! We can move as fast or slow as you need. We’ll start by getting to know each other. I’ll ask some guiding questions and provide you an opportunity to share anything that feels important, or ask any questions you have.

Individual Therapy: I currently work with select insurance plans through Headway for individual therapy. Insurance requires a mental health diagnosis and is subject to your plan's coverage. Availability and coverage vary by plan. Please reach out for more information.
Couples and Premarital Therapy: These services are private pay. Most insurance plans don't cover relationship-focused care unless tied to one partner's individual diagnosis, and I've found insurance-driven requirements limit what couples work can address. I'm happy to provide a superbill you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Lots of people feel hesitant about telehealth at first, which is understandable! In my experience, most clients feel just as connected and supported through the screen. Many actually prefer it for the convenience after the initial adjustment. My advice is to try it for a session or two. If it still feels hard, we can discuss that and plan next steps together.
-
Sessions range from 45-55 minutes. Some clients request longer or shorter sessions. If this comes up, we’ll talk about it together and figure out a plan that works.
-
My clients often describe me as authentic, approachable, and engaged. I believe therapy is rooted in genuine connection. We'll likely talk about some difficult things, but we'll probably laugh together, too. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up as yourself while we work through whatever has brought you here.
