Frequently Asked Questions

I am located in Florida (30 miles north of Orlando) and treat clients exclusively online at the moment. I plan to begin seeing clients in person again in 2025.

I will send you a unique, secure link to a Zoom meeting (I have a BA with Zoom making it HIPPA compliant) and we will meet at the time we arranged via zoom. I recommend you make sure to have Zoom loaded prior to our meeting. We will have our session, schedule the next, and then log off.

Online therapy can be as effective as in person therapy. For many, it is preferred due to allowing individuals to make appointments more consistently. I have been using teletherapy with clients for a number of years, prior to the 2021 COVID-19 Pandemic, so felt comfortable with the methodology already. I have clients who chose to stay online even once in-person therapy had re-opened. EMDR and ACT are equally effective for clients and only required minor adjustments to standard protocols. I continue to see clients online due to the flexibility and ease it provides to those I work with, especially those who travel often.

Not at this time.

For a 50 minute session: $175.

I will have read your intake forms and any history you have provided. I will likely ask you some clarifying questions, to tell me what is currently most concerning you, and we will talk about your strengths and what brings you the most joy. I will offer a roadmap for the next few sessions and some ideas I have on the best methods for helping you achieve your goals. Then we will plan for the next session. I don’t give “homework,” but may offer some worksheets or tools to practice over the following week.

There is no way to know how long your particular process might take. The longer the pain has been there, and the more coping strategies you had to install to manage day to day, the more complicated unraveling it might be. Some people move through processing quickly, but choose to continue to find support and work on present day concerns. Some need to focus on the present before they can feel ready to work on the past. Regardless, my goal is to make sure our goals together are clear, we are addressing what is important to you, and we are balancing not rushing with nor avoiding the tough stuff. You will always have control over the process, even when you ask me to take the lead.
