Frequently Asked Questions
A few of the things people ask most, before their first call. If yours isn’t here, reach out any time.
Therapy Specifics
Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long. This time allows us to explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and work towards your mental health goals.
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals, needs, and circumstances. We’ll work together to review your progress and find a pace that feels right for you.
Your first session is an opportunity to share what brings you to therapy, discuss what you hope to work on, and ask questions. We’ll begin getting to know each other and explore how we might work together.

What should I do if I have an emergency between sessions?
If you are experiencing a crisis or emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. You can also contact a crisis hotline for immediate support. For non-emergency situations, feel free to reach out to me, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
