FAQ

Yes. I offer secure telehealth sessions in addition to in-person appointments. Clients often find virtual therapy both convenient and effective, especially with busy schedules or demanding work lives.

Sessions are 50 minutes. Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build consistency and emotional safety. Over time, frequency may shift depending on goals and progress. We check in regularly, so therapy stays intentional.

I require 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or reschedules. If you cancel late, you will be charged the full session fee. This helps protect time reserved for your care.

You can reach out through the contact page or intake form. We’ll guide you through the various steps and answer any questions before your first session.

It’s common to walk in feeling guarded, discouraged, or unsure whether this can help. In the first session, we focus on understanding your conflict cycle and what feels most painful right now. We don’t rehash every past argument. We slow down real-time interactions so you can see what happens between you when things escalate. You’ll leave with clearer language for your pattern and a sense of whether this work feels structured and safe enough to continue.

Many couples come in saying, “We love each other, but this feels too hard.” If conversations escalate quickly, shut down, or leave you both feeling alone, therapy can help. You don’t have to be on the brink of divorce. Wanting to fight better, feel like a team again, or stop harming the family system with constant tension is reason enough.

That dynamic is common. One partner often feels urgency, and the other feels unsure or defensive. We work with that difference directly rather than pretending it isn’t there. Therapy doesn’t require identical enthusiasm on day one. It requires a willingness to look honestly at the pattern.

Fit matters. If you’re looking for someone to take sides or hand out advice without emotional work, this won’t be a good match. If you’re open to experiential sessions where real dynamics show up in the room and both partners examine their part, this is often a strong fit.

We work exclusively with couples. That focus matters. We combine developmental theory, attachment work, nervous system regulation, and practical skill-building. Conflict is framed as information, not failure. We help you understand how your reactions developed and how to regulate them in real time.

Sessions are active and experiential. We pay attention to tone, body language, and escalation as it happens. We pause moments, unpack them, and practice new responses immediately. You don’t just talk about change. You begin practicing it in session.

No. We don’t referee. We hold empathy for both partners simultaneously. The focus isn’t on proving a point but on understanding how the cycle forms and how each person can influence it.

Yes, when appropriate. This may include practicing repair conversations, regulating before responding, or experimenting with new behaviors. Change requires repetition and practice outside the session.
