Sessions are held securely online through a private telehealth platform. You’ll just need a quiet place, a stable internet connection, and a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone. I’ll help make the process feel simple and comfortable from the start. Check out my blog post The Room Matters Too to learn more about how to get your space telehealth ready.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s brought you here, what you’d like to work on, and how therapy can best support you moving forward.

Sessions run for about 53 minutes. The frequency of appointments can be weekly, bi-weekly, or as needed — we’ll decide together based on your goals.

Finding the right therapist is important. I always say, let's give it 3 sessions to see if we connect well. If not, I’m happy to recommend other professionals who might suit your needs.

Absolutely. What you share in sessions stays private, unless there are serious concerns about your safety, the safety of others, or if I get subponeoed by a judge. You can view my HIPAA policy here:

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule, as this time is set aside just for you. Late cancellations may incur a fee.

If you’re in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself or someone else, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away. You can also call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Virtual therapy is important support, but it is not a substitute for emergency care.

Yes. Because I’m licensed in Illinois, I can only provide virtual therapy to clients who are physically located in Illinois at the time of session. If you’re outside Illinois, I’m still happy to help point you toward next steps when I can.
