Question 1

What can I expect in the first session?

Accepted Answer

The first session is really about getting to know each other. I'll ask about what's bringing you in, your history, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. There's no pressure to share everything at once — we go at your pace. By the end, we'll have a sense of whether we're a good fit and what working together might look like.

Question 2

Do you offer couples counseling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I work with couples navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, trust issues, and life transitions. Couples sessions are 50–60 minutes and are available via telehealth across Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Missouri. Both partners attend sessions together unless we agree otherwise.

Question 3

How long does therapy take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your goals and what you're working through. Some people find meaningful relief in 8–12 sessions. Others prefer ongoing support over months or years. We'll regularly check in on your progress and adjust as needed — you're always in the driver's seat.

Question 4

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am in network with most insurance companies , please refer to the tab.

Question 5

What states do you serve?

Accepted Answer

I offer telehealth sessions to clients in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Missouri. In-person sessions are available in Chicago, IL. If you're unsure whether I'm licensed in your state, feel free to reach out and I'll let you know.

Question 6

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

I ask for at least 48 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows may be charged the full session fee. Life happens — if something comes up, please reach out as soon as possible.

Question 7

Is what I share confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Everything you share in therapy is confidential with a few legal exceptions: if there is risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected child or elder abuse, or a court order. I'll review these limits with you in our first session so you always know where you stand.

Question 8

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Accepted Answer

If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something just isn't right — therapy can help. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from support. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.
