There isn’t a set timeline. Some people come to therapy with something specific they want to work through, while others find that the work evolves over time and choose to stay longer.

We’ll check in along the way about how therapy is feeling, what’s changing, and whether what we’re doing still feels useful and relevant to you. Therapy doesn’t have to continue simply because you started it, and we can talk openly about when it might make sense to meet less often, take a break, or wrap up our work together.

You don’t need to come to therapy with an agenda or know exactly what you want to talk about. I’ll come prepared with questions, ideas, reflections, or things we might explore—and I’m just as willing to set all of that aside if something else feels more important that day.

Sessions tend to be conversational and collaborative. I’ll ask questions, point out patterns or connections I’m noticing, and sometimes come back to something you mentioned that feels worth slowing down around.

We’ll also check in along the way about what’s feeling useful, what isn’t, and how we want to use our time together. Basically: you can come as you are. We’ll figure out where to start from there.

As little or as much as feels helpful to you. If faith—or Christianity specifically—is part of your identity, whether now or in the past, I have enough familiarity and personal experience that you won’t need to spend a lot of time explaining that world to me.

At the same time, I won’t assume that we share the same beliefs, experiences, or theology. Faith can be part of our work when it’s relevant to you, and it doesn’t need to be when it’s not.

I use a HIPAA compliant platform that functions similarly to Zoom. It is very user-friendly and you can log in via your computer or phone.

The beauty of telehealth is that you can come as you are, wherever you feel most comfortable. Stay in your pajamas, meet with me during a walk – whatever floats your boat! I’d ask that you just be mindful of your privacy and other distractions to make the most of our time together!

I am licensed in California and Massachusetts so I can only provide services if you are physically located in these states. Keep in mind that even as a resident of CA or MA, if you’re traveling out of state, I am unable to legally hold sessions with you. You must physically be present in the state in which I am licensed.

Never say never! As of right now, there are no concrete plans to provide therapy in-person.

Yes. I am in-network with select insurance plans in California and Massachusetts. Coverage varies by plan, so I recommend confirming your specific benefits before beginning therapy. If you plan to use insurance, please note that insurance companies generally require a mental health diagnosis in order for therapy to be covered.

I also offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients who are not using insurance.
