Answers to Common Questions about Individual Therapy

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy can benefit anyone facing life challenges, experiencing emotional distress, or seeking personal growth. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life circumstances, therapy provides a supportive environment to explore these concerns.

What if I am worried about committing to a new therapist?

You can schedule a free consultation with me and take the first step towards a happier and healthier you. In this brief phone call, we will discuss your needs, goals, and establish a plan for achieving the results you are looking for.

Is what I tell you as my therapist confidential?

Confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of the therapeutic relationship. Information shared during sessions remains private with a few legal exceptions, including risk of harm to yourself or others, suspicion of abuse of children or vulnerable adults, or if records are court-ordered. I will explain these limitations in detail during our first session.

Do you accept insurance for therapy services?

I partner with various insurance providers to help make therapy more affordable for you. Right now, I'm in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare and Medicare.
