FAQ

What does the start of treatment look like?

After our consultation call (15 minute phone call to determine if I am a good fit for you or your family), we will schedule a mental health intake evaluation. This will be about 60 to 90 minutes in length where I ask you or the child and their caregiver(s) questions about client strengths, challenges and needs for treatment. I then help clients and/or families discuss what everyone’s hopes and goals are. This allows for us to come up with a treatment plan that best aligns with your values and needs.

How long does therapy last?

A typical therapy session lasts 50-55 minutes. The course of treatment is dependent on you or your child’s needs and treatment goals. Certain treatment methods have an average length of sessions (such as PCIT) whereas other methods are truly dependent on the client. I believe in meeting my clients and families to “where they are at” in therapy and match the pace and progression of treatment off of the client’s comfort. 

Do you offer Telehealth? Office Based? Walk & Talk?

I offer Office-Based Therapy. I do provide Telehealth on a case by case basis. For children, my therapeutic approach is interactive and play-based and Telehealth can be a difficult medium for this.


If you are interested in home-based services for your child that is under the age 5 and are planning to self-pay only, we can discuss this further at your consultation call.  As well, I do offer Walk and Talk therapy on a case by case basis. This service will also be offered to self-pay clients. If you are interested, please inquire during our consultation call.

What do I need to bring or prepare before the first appointment?

– Any custody, educational or legal paperwork if necessary.


– State ID/Driver’s License


– Insurance Card


– Any testing or evaluations that have been completed for the identified client (you, the child, etc.)


– Any current medication information (name, dosage, prescriber name)


** Please have all onboarding intake paperwork completed 36hours before your appointment time.

Do you offer any custody, visitation or parenting mediation recommendations?

No I do not. This is not within my scope of practice. Please seek referrals from your legal counsel on appropriate therapists and services.
