FAQ

Therapy can be effective in various environments, and I’m so excited to meet you face-to-face one day. For right now, though, safety for everyone is the primary concern.

For that reason, all our sessions will take place online through telehealth.

When it feels safe to return to in-person sessions, we can meet at a new office in the Denver area.

In the meantime, though, if it feels more genuine to meet in person at least once, I’m happy to meet you in a local park to say “hello” and introduce ourselves in a physically distant, safe environment before we work together.

I work with individuals and couples of all races, cultures, gender preferences, relationship styles, and sexual orientations ranging in age from 16 to… whatever! You’re never too old to explore life and relationships in therapy!

I will do family work if it appears it could be helpful to our existing relationship.

Whatever your background, I’m always open to researching and learning more about working with you more effectively. If at any point, I feel I am not well-suited for you and you would benefit from expertise outside of my practice, I’m happy to help you find that person.

Sessions can be either 50, 75, or 90 minutes.

I require 24 hours’ notice for all cancellations.

I offer you a “free pass” on your first cancellation not made within that time frame. After that, though, the session will be charged in full (unless due to an emergency).

Great question! It’s so important to have a sense of what it will be like to work together. After all, this could be one of your most important relationships!

That’s why I offer a free 20-minute phone or telehealth consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

My primary therapy modality is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a proven method for working with individuals, couples, and families. I also lean toward Narrative Therapy.

Both these modalities support the idea that YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. The problem, the cycle, or the pattern that’s wreaking havoc in your life is the problem.

Both approaches let us explore what’s going on in a way that promotes growth and change. Let’s chat, and I’ll tell you all about it!

Hmmm… that’s a good one. My philosophy is that therapy is different for everyone, so there’s not necessarily a set number of sessions.

It’s something we can check in about at any point during our work together, but progress, movement, and change will depend on your goals and our therapeutic relationship.

I received my master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Lesley University in 2015. I have Advanced Training in EFT, and I am currently working toward becoming a Certified EFT Therapist.

I have extensive experience working with people, their families, and communities in crisis… as well as with people who experience extreme states and may need help to maintain their immediate safety.

I continue to work with people in crisis in a local mental health environment, as I think it’s important for a therapist to understand the behavioral health systems in which they work. I want to provide appropriate support and referrals if needed by my clients and their families.

Yes! When I’m not working as a therapist, I’m enjoying getting to know Colorado. I recently located from the East Coast, and, so far, I love it here! Apparently, though, I need a dog, so I might be adopting one soon!

Before my behavioral health and therapy work, I received a master’s degree in Education, and I was a high school English teacher for ten years.
