How long is a typical session?
Almost all sessions last 50 minutes; however, this is always discussed and planned for ahead of time.
How do I pay?
The easiest way to pay is by credit or debit card.
After the first session, if you choose, your card information can be securely stored and automatically charged after each session.
How do I schedule an appointment?
Do you offer online counseling?
Do you offer an initial consultation?
Yes, I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation prior to the first appointment.
This phone call allows both of us to learn a little bit about each other to determine if we are a good fit and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have for me.
What is your cancellation policy?
What age range do you work with?
Do you work with Women? Men? Couples?
What do you do in sessions with clients?
I believe in promoting the self-determination of each and every client. This allows us to examine any pressing obstacles that the client may be facing, while using the previously identified goals as a roadmap.
In doing this, the client decides what is important to discuss and is able to achieve their goals.
Do your clients receive assignments to work on in between session?
What modalities do you use in your client work?
What is your professional training and experience?
My undergrad studies were done at William Jessup University and focused on psychology and addiction studies.
I graduated with my Master of Social Work from University of Southern California. I have worked at a local non-profit supporting people struggling with Substance Use Disorder and people who have been involved in the criminal justice system.
