The free 15-minute phone consultation is a chance for us to get to know each other a little bit to see if we would be a good fit working together. I will ask you some questions, you can ask me some questions, and we can make a plan from there. If we decide to work together, we’ll discuss next steps, including scheduling our first appointment. If we decide not to work together, I can provide referrals for other therapists who might be a better fit.

Not currently. Even before the pandemic I made a choice to take my therapy practice fully online to provide more convenience to my clients. I find it just as easy to connect with my clients through video and phone sessions as in-person.

I am an out out-of-network provider for most private insurance companies. This means I can provide you with a receipt to send to your insurance company for partial reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company to verify your out of network benefits. I use a service that can help you verify your benefits and submit claims on your behalf. My services are not covered by Medicaid (AHCCCS) or Medicare.

Any kind of counseling is an investment in yourself and your emotional well-being. By developing and strengthening healthy coping skills and getting support, you are setting yourself up for the life you deserve to live without the pain and suffering you are currently experiencing. This can also set you up to move through future challenges more quickly and easily.

With me, therapy is a collaborative process. It starts with an initial session, called an intake, where I gather information from you, ask questions to get clarity, and we discuss what you want to get out of therapy. I will give you my recommendation on what services I think would be most beneficial to meet your treatment goals (individual and/or group therapy) and we’ll schedule our next appointment.

At the beginning of our therapeutic relationship, I recommend we meet every week or every other week. We’ll develop a treatment plan together during the first or second session that outlines what you what to get out of therapy and what techniques I will use to help you get there. Then each session we’ll work on your goals and check in about your progress.

Yes. Even though I specialize in working with women, I have worked with many men throughout my over two decades as a psychotherapist. I especially love helping men understand the women in their lives better and work through their own challenges with anxiety and grief.

Not currently. I have experience working with children and teens from birth to age 18, however am not currently accepting clients under the age of 18.

Not currently. I’m happy to provide referrals to excellent couples’ therapists for clients who see me for individual therapy. It is not uncommon for a client to see one therapist for individual therapy and a couples’ therapist with their partner to work through relationship issues.
