FAQ.

 

What should I expect at my first session?

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a sense of safety and collaboration. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and any relevant background that feels important to share. There is no expectation to tell your whole story right away. We will move at a pace that feels respectful, supportive, and manageable for you.

Do you offer virtual appointments only?

No. I offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions. Telehealth allows clients across California to access care remotely in a flexible and private way, while in-person sessions are available for those who prefer to meet face-to-face.

How long do sessions last?

Individual therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes. This standard session length allows time for meaningful therapeutic work while also supporting emotional regulation and sustainability.

Is there a cancellation policy?

Yes. I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. This policy helps protect both your time and the consistency of the therapeutic process.

“You are exactly who you are supposed to be; impeccable as you are.  Sometimes we need to sort through the pain, fear, experiences and defenses to see in ourselves what has always been there.”
