    Frequently asked questions

    We start with a free 15-minute phone consultation so I can understand what you want to get out of therapy. Then, I send you an Intake Questionnaire to gather more details and information.  In that way, we can get started right away in your first meeting.  There, we discuss your goals for therapy when we meet, I listen to how I can help, and then we agree on the next steps.  I assign home practice between sessions because changing behavior, thoughts, and attitudes take time and reinforcement.  

    During your first video meeting, I ask enough questions to get a feel about your current needs. I fill in more information about your history and current situation over the next few sessions.  

    At the conclusion of the first session,  I share my perspective on the best course for your treatment.  With your input, we develop goals for your therapy. 

    I use more than one approach which means my therapy is eclectic.  You might need a different approach at different appointments. The modalities I use have all been validated by science as effective in affecting change.  People feel relief.  The methods are ACT, IPT, and transpersonal. 

    The length of treatment varies.  Short-term therapy might last 12 to 16 sessions.  Long-term counseling is available for more complex and long-standing issues.

    During a deeply emotional and difficult time in my life, I felt my learnings could be useful to others.  I found an MFT Counseling program at JFKU and enrolled.   In retrospect, I remembered that during my high school days, I submitted my college essays with the stated goal to become a school counselor (which I did), and now it's time to work as a therapist in private practice

    I challenged a client about the thinking pattern which caused her great distress.  At first, she couldn't see my point.  After a few minutes, she 100% changed her perspective.   A little smile showed on her face.   She looked down for a moment, looked up, rolled her eyes, and said, "OK, OK.  But that was a trick question."  We had a good chuckle together. We shared a moment where the veil dropped and two people met in the middle. 

    Interview more than one provider. Utilize the "free consultation" offered and talk to 3 providers until you find the one you click the best with.  More than any of the specialties and words you read under a bio, the relationship is where the magic happens.  Oh, be sure to contact me for a free consult when you are ready.
