Is online consultation as effective as in-person?
Research has found that online consultation is just as effective as an in-person traditional face-to-face session.
Some people like it better because there is no commute time to get to a session, and you can meet in the comfort of your home.
Do you work with men? Women? Couples? Adolescents?
Who is your perfect client?

How long does counseling continue?
There is not a standard length of time.
In counseling, we seek to improve your current issues and identify the cause so we can develop beneficial living and thinking skills. Everyone has a different story and a different need.
You are the expert of you and do not need to be in counseling longer than you desire.
If you are contemplating leaving counseling, just let me know. We will use the last session to summarize and celebrate your successes.
Can I cancel the appointment? Do you have a cancellation policy?
Do you think about clients in between sessions or think about former clients?
Will you fix all my problems in one session?
Will I be ‘cured’ after therapy?
What else must a client know to make the most out of working with you?
Please show up on time. This time together is sacred and should be respected accordingly.
I encourage you to be as open and upfront as possible. The more you talk about the things that bother you, the more progress you will make.
