Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. This population is my primary focus. I specialize in working with law enforcement and first responders because the stress, culture, and experiences are different from the general population. I also enjoy working alongside law enforcement and I appreciate their unique positioning in society. If you are not in that field, I may not be the best fit and that’s okay! I’d rather you find someone who truly gets your world.
-
No. Your therapy is completely confidential. I do not report back to departments, supervisors, or agencies. The only exceptions are standard legal limits of confidentiality (like risk of harm to yourself or others), which we will go over before we start.
-
That is more common than you think! You don’t have to come in ready to open up or spill everything right away. We go at your pace. Even just showing up is a solid starting point.
-
No. This is a private pay practice. That means your care stays between you and me, without insurance companies being involved in your treatment or records. This also allows flexibility in allowing for as many sessions as you want!
-
Sessions are $175 for 50 minutes. Payment is due at the time of services and I accept secure electronic payment options.
-
The first session is more of a conversation than an interrogation. We will talk about what’s been going on, what brought you in, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. No pressure to share more than you’re ready for though!
-
That varies from person to person. Some people come in for a few months, others stay longer. We will figure out what makes sense for you. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all plan!
-
Nope! You are in control of what you share and when. Building trust and rapport will come first and usually the rest follows. I like to tell clients that it usually takes about 6 sessions before comfort and trust are starting to establish. For some it may be sooner, others it may be later. That’s okay!
