Question 1

What issues do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

​I help high-functioning adults with anxiety, relationship stress (including divorce/remarriage/step-family), perfectionism/people-pleasing, and trauma. My work is parts-informed (IFS) with EMDR and gentle somatic tools.

Question 2

How do I know if we’re a good fit?

Accepted Answer

We’ll meet for a free 15-minute consult to talk goals, logistics, and style. If it’s not a match, I’ll offer thoughtful referrals.

Question 3

What happens in the free 15-minute consult?

Accepted Answer

A quick video or phone call: your goals, my approach, fees/OON, and next steps. No paperwork or pressure—just clarity.

Question 4

What should I expect in the first session?

Accepted Answer

We’ll map what’s bringing you in, your history, and what “better” looks like. You’ll leave with a simple plan and one practice to try between sessions.

Question 5

How long do sessions last, and how often do we meet?

Accepted Answer

Standard sessions are 50 minutes weekly or biweekly; I also offer 75-minute deep-work sessions for IFS/EMDR when helpful.

Question 6

How long does therapy usually take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your goals. Many clients feel relief within 4–6 sessions, with deeper change over 8–20+ sessions. We’ll review progress regularly and taper when you’re ready.
