Question 1

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Therapy can be helpful if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or noticing patterns you'd like to change. Many of my clients come to therapy because of relationship struggles, anxiety, low self-esteem, or unresolved childhood wounds. If you're wondering whether therapy could help, you're in the right place.

Question 2

What can I expect in the first session?

Accepted Answer

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. We'll talk about what brings you in, what you're hoping to gain, and any questions you have. I'll also share more about how I work so you can get a feel for whether it's a good fit.

Question 3

How long will I need to be in therapy?

Accepted Answer

Every person's journey is unique. Some clients find relief in just a few months, while others benefit from longer-term work, especially when healing from trauma or attachment wounds. Together, we'll create a plan that fits your goals and needs.

Question 4

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy for clients in Nevada and California. Virtual sessions allow you to access therapy from the comfort of your home while maintaining privacy and flexibility.

Question 5

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

I am based in Reno, Nevada and offer in-person sessions in Midtown off Plumb & Plumas, and virtual sessions for clients throughout Nevada and California.

Question 6

What therapy approaches do you use?

Accepted Answer

I integrate several evidence-based approaches, including EMDR (for trauma, phobias, and painful memories), IFS (for self-awareness, dissociation, and parts work), and EFT (for connection and attachment work). My goal is to tailor therapy to your unique needs.

Question 7

How often will we meet?

Accepted Answer

Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build consistency and momentum. As progress is made, some shift to every other week. We'll adjust frequency depending on your goals and needs.

Question 8

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Accepted Answer

I ask for 48 hours' notice for cancellations. Sessions canceled with less than 48 hours' notice are charged the full session fee. I always wave the first late cancellation/no show because life happens, but after that it is 50% of the fee to reschedule within the same work week, and the full fee to cancel. This policy protects time I've set aside for you and allows space for others who may be needing more support.

Question 9

Can therapy really help me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Therapy can't erase the past, but it can help you change how it impacts you today. Clients often share that they feel more grounded, confident, and connected in their relationships after doing this work. Healing is possible. You don't have to do it alone.

Question 10

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

I'm an out-of-network provider — see full details on rates, insurance, and reimbursement on my Rates & Insurance page.
