How long will I be in therapy?
This depends on what you’re being seen for. There is no set time frame, as your story is unique. We will invest as much or as little time as necessary to your situation.
Do you work with people from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions?
Absolutely!
Are you going to tell my parent(s) what I talk about in therapy?
Not unless you are in immediate danger, which we will discuss in depth at our first session. Therapy is a private space, just for you, to discuss anything that’s on your mind or heart.
What are the risks and benefits of doing therapy?
Risks – being uncomfortable, talking about hard or personal things, being vulnerable.
Benefits – feeling more confident, happy, and hopeful; being less anxious, worried, self-conscious (add your struggle here)

Is your furniture comfortable?
Yes! Since I’ll see you online, you get to sit in your most comfortable space – and stay in your pajamas, even, if you’d like!
Am I allowed to ask you personal questions?
You are always welcome to ask any questions!
Cats or Dogs?
I’ve always had dogs since my mom is allergic to cats. If allergies weren’t a thing, I’d have a cat in a heartbeat!
Dark or milk chocolate?
Milk, hands down!
Will we be friends?
While the counseling relationship can feel so much like a friendship due to the intimate and authentic connection we may have, we won’t be “friends.” It is important that I maintain ethical boundaries to protect you as well as ensure that your best interest is always at the forefront.
Tea or coffee?
Both! As long as they are iced!
