WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?

Our first session is an assessment—an opportunity for both of us to get to know each other. You'll have a chance to see how it feels to work with me, and I'll ask questions to understand the symptoms you're experiencing and what you'd like to change or improve through therapy. This often involves discussing your past, your present challenges, and your goals for the future. I strive to keep this process casual and comfortable, as I know it can feel intimidating to talk about sensitive topics with someone you’ve just met.

 

IS IT NORMAL TO BE NERVOUS FOR MY FIRST SESSION?

Absolutely! I almost canceled my own first therapy session. Vulnerability takes a lot of courage, and I understand how challenging that first step can be. My priority is to make sure you feel comfortable.

 

HOW CAN I MAKE THE MOST OF THERAPY?

I encourage you to take a few moments throughout your week to reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Are there worries that keep resurfacing? Areas of your life where you feel insecure or stuck? Emotions that are difficult to manage? Jot down your reflections, and we can explore them together in session.
Additionally, practicing strong self-care is key to making the most of therapy. Prioritize rest, maintain balanced nutrition, and stay hydrated. Therapy is most effective when your body is well-rested and nourished, allowing you to show up as your best self. 

​

HOW LONG DOES EACH THERAPY SESSION TAKE & WHAT IS YOUR FEE?

Sessions typically last 50-55 minutes, and my fee is $150 per session.

 

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not accept insurance directly. This allows us to focus on what’s best for your treatment without insurance company restrictions. However, many insurers offer out-of-network benefits, and I can provide you with a “super bill” to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. You can call the number on your insurance card or visit their website for details on how to file a claim.

WHAT IS YOUR AVAILABILITY?

I see clients Monday through Wednesday. My first appointment is at 9:00 a.m., and my last appointment of the day is at 3:00 p.m.
