I recognize your time, energy, and focus is limited. Therefore, I optimize our time together. Our sessions are time specific and goal focused. I do not work with clients for a long amount of time. If you prefer to do the hard work of practicing what is taught, problem solving to discover solutions and ultimately achieve your goals, then set up a free 30 minute phone call here and let’s begin.

Typically, individual counseling can be between 6-15 sessions in length and family or couples counseling can be between 10-20 sessions. However, I do work longer with clients if needed. Counseling sessions start off by exploring the nature of behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. This is what I refer to as “the why”. However, once the why is discovered, then the focus can shift to teaching of skills.

Every week. This is for your benefit. I know from experience working with lots of individuals and families that you need to come frequently and consistently to see results. This is supported by research.

I have a 48 hour cancellation policy, so if you need to cancel, make sure you give me 48 hours notice to avoid paying the late cancellation fee, which is $50 for the first session and the full session rate for any after that. If I am able, I will try to reschedule our session for a different day and time.
