Frequently Asked Questions
Beginning therapy can bring up a lot of questions—and that's completely okay. Whether you're exploring therapy for the first time or returning after a break, I want you to feel informed, supported, and comfortable every step of the way.
You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out.
🌿 Getting Started
What can I expect during my first session?
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin creating a plan that reflects your unique needs. There is no pressure to share everything all at once.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy isn't only for times of crisis. It can also be a place for personal growth, self-discovery, improving relationships, processing life transitions, and building coping skills.
What if I'm not sure where to start?
That's completely okay. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Together, we'll create a safe space where you can move at your own pace and explore what's most important to you.
🌿 Sessions
How long are therapy sessions?
Both individual and couples therapy sessions are typically 53–60 minutes. This length provides meaningful time for exploration and collaborative work while supporting steady progress.
How often will we meet?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions. As progress is made, we may transition to biweekly or monthly appointments based on your specific goals and needs.
How long will I be in therapy?
Every person's journey is unique. Some benefit from short-term therapy for specific concerns, while others prefer longer-term support for deep healing and growth.
🌿 Therapy Approach
What types of therapy do you use?
I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed Care. Treatment is always individualized to fit your unique strengths and goals.
Will you tell me what to do?
Therapy is a collaborative process. Rather than giving advice, I'll help you better understand yourself, develop new perspectives, and make choices that align with your values.
🌿 Telehealth & Location

Yes. I provide secure telehealth for clients in Arizona, Minnesota, and Ohio. I also offer a **Limited in-person appointments are available in Glendale, Arizona.** on a first-come basis.
What do I need for telehealth?
A private space where you feel comfortable, a reliable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone (computer, tablet, or smartphone).
🌿 Investment & Insurance
Do you accept insurance?
I am currently a private-pay practice. Upon request, a superbill can be provided for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Choosing private pay offers greater privacy and flexibility in your care.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Payments are processed securely via the Client Portal. I accept HSA/FSA cards, all major credit cards, and debit cards. Payment is due on the same day services are rendered.
🌿 Communication
Can I message you between sessions?
You are welcome to reach out for non-urgent matters via the secure portal or email. To protect your privacy, I do not use text messaging for clinical communication. In emergencies, please call 911 or the 988 Lifeline.
🌿 Policies
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notice, will be charged the full session fee.
