Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I setup an initial counseling or therapy appointment?
    Scheduling an initial appointment is as easy as comparing schedules for an available time. This can be done either by phone or email. If you let me know when you're available to meet, I can be ready with available appointment times when I return your call or email. Use can call me directly or email me through my CONTACT page.
  • How long is a therapy session?
    A clinical hour is generally 50 Minutes. Longer sessions may also available.
  • What can I expect from a first therapy session?
    First sessions, or intake evaluations, are a little different from subsequent sessions. This session is primarily for assessment, history gathering, and establishing your therapeutic goals. It's generally your second session that we'd start working on your goals at a pace that fits you. MOST people are at least a little nervous during their first therapy session; and I want you to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. You're welcome to put your feet up on my reclining couch, and I'm happy to make you coffee, tea, or supply cold water. Although some clients like to think about their goals beforehand, the only thing you really need to do in preparation for your first session is show-up and be yourself.
