How should I choose a therapist?

I often tell friends and family who ask this, “Go with your gut.” Perhaps you have an idea of style or characteristics you are looking for in a therapist, and perhaps you are trying it out for the first time, but either way - trust yourself. If you feel comfortable with the person, you will likely be able to get more from the process. And when in doubt, try a couple of sessions to see how you feel. The process is for you, so if it isn’t a good fit let your therapist know.

What clients and concerns are the ‘right fit’ for your practice?

People I see:

• Adults, couples, families, business partners, and executive/leadership teams

What is the difference between psychotherapy and coaching?

While there is no concrete answer for this across the board, I can describe the difference specific to my practice. Psychotherapy is a process through which we explore a broad variety of emotional experiences, mental health concerns, relationship patterns, and personal values to foster well-being and healing. I work with clients to meet both short-term and long-term therapeutic goals and develop positive balance and coping skills for emotional and lifestyle stressors.

My coaching practice incorporates short-term, solution-focused techniques to help clients focus on positive change in specific areas of life, such as career satisfaction or executive leadership. Coaching can inspire clients to explore deeper and enter into more therapeutic work, either by continuing with me or connecting to another psychotherapist.

How long does it take?

There is no one-size-fits-all. Psychotherapy clients tend to stay for longer term therapy as they dive deeper into their own process. Coaching is often a short-term modality, but I offer check-in services as needed for long term support.

How much do sessions cost?

My fees are $200 per 50-minute session for individual psychotherapy with a limited number of sliding scale openings. Couples, family, or business relationship sessions are $225 for 50-minute sessions and $380 for 90-minutes.

Coaching is set on a flexible frequency and rate, to meet both the financial and time constraints of the industries I serve.
