FAQs

Starting therapy can feel unfamiliar or even a little overwhelming—especially if it’s your first time. Here are some frequently asked questions to help you get a clearer sense of what working together might look like.

  • Your first session is about getting to know you: what brings you to therapy, your goals, and how I can best support you. We’ll explore your story at your pace — you can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. Our goal together is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and safe.

  • Yes — I work with individuals, couples, and diverse relationship structures (including polycules). We’ll tailor your therapy to meet your unique needs and goals.

  • Sessions are typically 50 minutes long. Most clients begin with weekly appointments, though frequency is adjusted based on your needs, goals, and availability. We regularly check in together to make sure the pace feels right.

  • That’s an important question — and it’s okay to take your time with it. I offer a free consultation call so you can ask questions and get a sense of whether we might be a good fit. A strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in positive outcomes.

  • Depending on your needs and location, I offer both virtual and in-person sessions. Online therapy can be a flexible, accessible option, especially for those with busy schedules, mobility challenges, or living at a distance.

  • I support clients navigating a wide range of experiences, including:

    • Anxiety, depression, and overwhelm

    • Relationship and attachment challenges

    • Trauma and cultural stress

    • LGBTQ+ identity exploration and support

    • Life transitions and self‑worth

    Whether you’re processing the past or seeking peace and growth in the present, you’re welcome here.

  • Yes — confidentiality is essential to building trust and supporting your healing. What you share in sessions stays between us, with a few legal exceptions (such as risk of harm to yourself or others). We’ll review confidentiality in detail in your first session so you feel fully informed and secure.
