FAQ

Q: What can I expect during my first session? A: The first session is about getting to know each other. We’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and what brought you to therapy. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions and see if we’re a good fit. Q: How do I know if therapy is right for me? A: If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want support in navigating life’s challenges, therapy can help. Many people seek counseling for clarity, growth, or healing—there’s no "wrong" reason to begin. Q: How long does therapy usually take? A: It depends on your goals. Some clients find a few sessions helpful for specific issues, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly check in on your progress together.

Sliding scale options may be available if you would prefer to not use insurance—please ask. Q: What is your cancellation policy? A: I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations. Late cancellations or missed sessions may be charged directly to the client (typically equal to the cost of a full session).
