Frequently Asked Questions
How Can We Help?
What is your new client procedure?
After you contact us, we will send you some documents that will gather some basic information such as demographics, medical history, insurance coverage, and mental health questions. Take your time and fill these out before your first session. Remember that honesty is the best policy on these things because we only know what you share with us. At your first session we will discuss what you are hoping to achieve through therapy and get to know each other a little better.
What are individual therapy sessions like?
Whether this is your first time trying therapy, you are looking for your 15th therapist, or maybe even you are looking for a therapist for someone you love...here’s the basics. Sessions can be in-person at my office or on tele-health. You can do a combination of both if you need the flexibility.
​
You will have the space to work through your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a nonjudgemental and inviting space. I believe in getting down to it pretty quickly. My goal for you is to figure out what is getting in your way of living the life you want. Once we can process that and come up with a game plan for how to keep you on track, we will discuss maintenance sessions to move forward giving you a place to check in as needed.
Insurance based sessions are typically one hour. For those wanting to do more intensive work and commit to some more time in the office, ask about cash pay options and group offerings.

Who do you work best with?
I enjoy working with motivated clients that are navigating their roles as caregivers, looking to unpack their family of origin trauma, identify as late diagnosed ADHD & Autistic, as well as anyone else willing to take a deep dive into figuring out why they do what they do. I work from a trauma and an attachment perspective. What that means is that I believe a lot of things can be healed by looking at how we do relationships with other people but most importantly the relationship you have with yourself.

What about your personality?
I’m a pretty down to earth guy that genuinely wants you to be successful. I have a direct communication style but I try to always do so with truth and love. I like to get down to it and not sugar coat things too much. If that sounds like what you are looking for I might be your guy... I might not. Only one way to find out, huh? We can talk about what you need and what I can help with. If I'm not the therapist for you then I'll give you the names of some other therapists that might be a better fit. Your therapist should be someone you want to see and that makes you feel seen, heard, and valued. If it's not me I take no offense to that.
No commitments, no hassles. Just dignity, respect, and integrity.
