Question 1

What can I expect in my first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll ask about your background, what brings you to therapy, and what you're hoping to work toward. There's no pressure — it's simply a conversation to help us both figure out if we're a good fit and to begin building a plan.

Question 2

How long does therapy typically last?

Accepted Answer

The length of therapy depends on your goals, the challenges you're working through, and how you progress. Some clients find significant relief in a few months; others benefit from longer-term work. We'll check in regularly and adjust the plan based on how you're feeling.

Question 3

Do you offer virtual/telehealth sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer telehealth sessions to clients anywhere in Colorado. Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns. All you need is a private space and a stable internet connection.

Question 4

What is EMDR therapy?

Accepted Answer

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy most often used for trauma and PTSD. It uses bilateral stimulation — such as guided eye movements — to help the brain process distressing memories in a healthier way. It is well-researched and recognized by major health organizations worldwide.

Question 5

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I accept many insurance plans including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, Medicare, Tricare, and more. See the full insurance list on the Insurance page, or call to verify your specific coverage.

Question 6

What is the cost of therapy?

Accepted Answer

Individual therapy sessions are $150. Couples therapy sessions are $130. A sliding scale fee may be available for clients with financial need — please reach out to discuss.

Question 7

What is a free consultation?

Accepted Answer

A free 15-minute phone consultation gives us a chance to talk briefly about what you're looking for, answer any questions about how I work, and determine if we're a good match before you commit to a full session.

Question 8

Is therapy confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship. What you share in sessions stays between us, with limited exceptions required by law (such as when there is a risk of harm to yourself or others). I will always explain these limits clearly at the start of therapy.

Question 9

What should I look for in a therapist?

Accepted Answer

Finding the right therapist is personal. The most important factor is feeling comfortable, heard, and safe. I encourage you to trust your instincts — if the fit doesn't feel right, it's okay to keep looking. A free consultation is a great way to explore whether we're a good match.
