Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering...

With couples, will the therapist take sides?

The role is to support the relationship, not choose a side. Each partner’s experience is respected while working toward greater understanding and connection.

Do couples need therapy if things aren’t “that bad”?

Couples don’t have to be in crisis to benefit. Therapy can help you better understand each other, improve communication, and shift patterns before they become more entrenched.

Will my teen actually talk?

Not always right away—and that’s okay. The process is paced with care to build trust and allow them to open up in a way that feels safe and natural.

Does my teen need therapy?

Teens don’t have to be in crisis to benefit. Therapy can support them through identity, emotions, relationships, and the pressures they’re navigating.

Does therapy work?

Therapy can be meaningful when there’s a good fit and a willingness to explore. It’s not about quick fixes, but about developing awareness, insight, and new ways of relating to yourself and others.

How long does therapy take?

There’s no set timeline. Some people come for a shorter period (maybe a few months) around a specific issue, while others choose longer-term work (over many years. We move at a pace that feels right for you.

What is therapy actually like?

Therapy is a conversation, but not just talking. It’s a space to slow down, reflect, and begin to understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with support.

Do I even need therapy?

Things might look “fine” on the outside, but still feel off internally. Therapy isn’t about being “bad enough,” it’s a place to understand what’s beneath the surface and why certain patterns keep showing up.

What ages do you work with?

I work with teens (ages 12+) and adults with experience supporting clients across their lifespan.

Do you take insurance?

I don't accept insurance directly, but I can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider about your coverage.

How long are therapy sessions?

Standard sessions are 50 minutes. Extended 75-minute sessions are also available for those who prefer more time.

Do you offer teletherapy?

Yes! I offer telehealth sessions throughout California. All you need is a private space without interruptions and a reliable internet connection.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin - just a willingness to start where you are.
