These are the things people usually ask before a first conversation.
Are sessions really all online?
Yes. I meet with clients by video, using Zoom. You can be anywhere in New York State, as long as you have a private spot and a steady connection.
Who do you work with?
Adults, as individuals and as couples. People come to me about work, relationships, and the bigger question of where their life is going. You don’t need a crisis or a diagnosis to start.
What happens in the first conversation?
It’s free, it lasts about 45 minutes, and it’s informal. You tell me a little about what’s going on, I tell you how I work, and we both get a sense of whether it’s a good fit.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on what you want from it. Some people come for a few months with something specific in mind. Others find a regular conversation useful for longer. We’ll check in about it as we go.
How do I pay?
You can pay privately, and I accept some insurance plans. The details are on the fees page.
Is what I say confidential?
Yes. What you tell me stays between us, within the limits the law sets for all therapists, which I’ll explain when we first speak.
What if I’m in crisis right now?
This website and my voicemail are not monitored for emergencies. If you are thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911.
