What to Expect
You Don’t Have to Have the Perfect Words
Many people feel unsure about how to begin or worry about saying the “right” thing. That’s normal. You don’t need a clear diagnosis, a polished explanation, or a detailed plan. The first step is simply a conversation about what’s been happening, what feels stuck, and what you’re hoping might change.
Individual therapy here is about learning more about yourself. That often includes moments of discomfort — and that’s okay. Discomfort isn’t a sign that something is wrong. It’s often part of understanding yourself more clearly.
What the Consultation is (and isn’t)
The consultation is a brief, structured conversation. We’ll discuss what led you to reach out, what you’re hoping for, and how you typically respond when things feel difficult or slow. I’ll also share how I work and what this process usually asks of people. This is not a therapy session, and it’s not an intake. There’s no obligation to continue. The purpose is to decide whether starting therapy with this approach and this working relationship feels like a good fit.
Before You Schedule
Where do you offer therapy? Telehealth in Florida, California, and PSYPACT-participating states. In-person by appointment in Milton, FL. Call 866-441-6002.
Do you take insurance? I'm private pay. I accept HSA and FSA cards and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Note: filing with insurance means a diagnosis is shared with your insurer.
What does it cost? See the Pricing page for current rates.
Is this right if I'm in crisis? No. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 or go to your nearest ER. Once connected to that support, I'm glad to talk about ongoing care.
Who do you work with? Individual therapy only — no couples or family sessions. Adults 18+, strongest fit for people in their 30s, 40s, and beyond.
Is faith part of the work? Only if you want it to be. Faith-integrated therapy is available but never required.
What's your approach? ACT, psychodynamic theory, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing.
Between-session availability? HIPAA-compliant secure messaging, generally reachable 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Deciding Whether to Move Forward
If you’re unsure, that’s normal. The work I do is not crisis-focused, and it’s not about helping you feel better in the immediate sense. It’s for people who want to look more closely at the patterns they continue to repeat, even knowing those patterns are causing them pain.
Before scheduling, it can be helpful to ask yourself one question: What would you want to be different after our work together is finished? There’s no right answer. The point is to notice what kind of change you’re looking for — and whether that involves understanding yourself differently, not just changing your circumstances.
