Frequently Asked Questions

How does teletherapy work, and when might it not be appropriate?
Therapy should always be a confidential space, and your privacy is taken seriously. There are a few legal exceptions to confidentiality, such as situations involving safety concerns, which we will review together at the start of our work.

Teletherapy sessions are held securely via video, allowing you to access support from the comfort of your own space. I work with clients located in Florida, and sessions take place through a HIPAA-compliant platform to help protect your privacy and confidentiality. It can be a flexible and effective option for many people. However, teletherapy may not be appropriate if you are experiencing a crisis, need a higher level of care, or do not have access to a private, reliable space for sessions.

How often can we meet, and for how long?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build consistency and momentum, though we can adjust frequency based on your needs and goals. Many clients transition to biweekly sessions over time, and eventually to monthly check-ins. It’s also common to move between frequencies as needs change. We’ll collaborate to find a pace that feels supportive, flexible, and sustainable for you.

How can I tell if you’re the right therapist for me?
Finding the right fit is an important part of therapy. A good therapeutic relationship should feel safe, supportive, and non-judgmental. You should feel comfortable sharing openly and asking questions. It’s not uncommon to have had a past experience with therapy that didn’t feel helpful. Sometimes it comes down to fit, timing, or the approach used. Therapy can look different depending on the therapist and your needs, and we can talk through what did or didn’t work before so we can adjust our work together in a way that feels more effective and aligned.

I offer a brief consultation where we can connect, discuss what you’re looking for, and see if my approach aligns with your needs. My style is collaborative, thoughtful, and focused on balancing acceptance and change, so it’s important that this resonates with you. You’re also encouraged to ask questions and get a sense of whether you feel comfortable and supported, as that connection is a key part of the process. If it doesn’t feel like the right fit, I’m always happy to help guide you toward other options.

What if I don’t know what to talk about, or feel nervous starting therapy?
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. It’s completely normal to feel unsure or nervous, especially when opening up to someone new. You can bring whatever feels most present, whether that’s a specific situation, a general feeling, or even just the sense that something feels “off.” I’ll help guide the conversation with questions and structure when needed, so you’re not expected to lead the session on your own.

Over time, we may begin to identify goals together, such as reducing anxiety, improving self-trust, navigating relationships, setting boundaries, or feeling more grounded and connected to yourself. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable, and part of the process is working together to make sense of what’s coming up and what feels most important to focus on.

How long does therapy take, and can it actually help me?
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and what you’re working through. Some clients come for a shorter period focused on a specific concern, while others choose longer-term support. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” everything, but many people find it helps them better understand themselves, feel more grounded, and respond to challenges in a more intentional and effective way.

You may start to notice progress in small but meaningful ways, such as feeling less overwhelmed, gaining clarity around your thoughts and emotions, responding differently in situations that used to feel difficult, or having a stronger sense of self-trust. We’ll also check in along the way to make sure our work together continues to feel helpful and aligned.
