There is an emphasis on creating a genuine bond from nonjudgement and positive regard that allows for transparency. I respect that this can be a delicate process. Depending on your personality and life experiences, it takes time to develop trust and warm up to exploring parts of yourself with another person.

 One could expect to be engaged in the process weekly or every other week for an undetermined amount of time. Of course, this can decrease as needed. Things like insurance, and other unforeseen life events on both sides, can effect this. One major advantage of private pay- no employment or insurance interruptions dictating course of treatment. 

 I prefer to start with where the client is at, meaning I want to understand the “presenting problem-” why did you make this appointment? From there, rapport develops and we go at your pace. Once people decide if I am the right fit for them, most of my client's end up being long-term. 

I provide services to individuals 18+ and cannot provide long-term family or couples therapy. Guest star appearances can be appropriate.
