My Approach
Beginning Psychotherapy
We will begin with a consultation during which I will start to get to know you as a whole person, and the life trajectory that has led to where you are. You will also get a sense of me and how I work. We will then both be able to make an informed decision about whether and how psychotherapy could help you.
Experience
Our relationship will be informed by my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University, publications for Counseling Today, the clinical expertise I share with companies and communities and in the media, and the teachers of all kinds who have crossed our paths.
Privacy
Always, your privacy is my priority. Telehealth sessions are conducted via an encrypted platform. Contact me electronically with any concerns or in a manner most comfortable.
Consent
You deserve to understand how our therapeutic relationship is structured and why. We will only work towards the focus that both of us come to explicitly understand and only in ways agreed upon. I encourage you to bring concerns up with me- including about me or treatment- at any point. You reserve the right to pause or end treatment at any time.
Frequency
I see clients on a weekly or more frequent basis. Consistency and steady rhythm are paramount. I honor our standing meeting time as yours only. We can arrange a standing back-up time if your lifestyle requires accommodation. My cancellation policy is 48-hours prior to session or you may be subject to the full session fee, barring any illness or emergency.
