FAQ

How does online therapy work?

I offer telehealth appointments through a secure, HIPAA-compliant client portal.

All that’s needed on your end is a reliable internet connection and a private, comfortable space to settle into.

You’re welcome to switch between in-person and virtual sessions, just let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly.

What do I do to get started?

Starting something new can feel overwhelming, so I try to keep this part simple.

Fill out the form on my contact page, or feel free to call me.

What is a free initial phone consultation?

The 15-minute consultation call is a chance for you to share what you hope to get from therapy, get a sense of how I work, and ask any questions that come to mind.

It also helps us both figure out whether we’re a good fit to work together.

How long is a typical session?

Each session is 50 minutes, which gives us focused time to do meaningful work together.

Do you accept insurance?

I’m an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly.

That said, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

What age range do you work with?

Adults 18 and older, experiencing adult life with all its complexity, change, and growth.

Do you work with men, women, couples, or adolescents?

I work with individuals and couples who are looking to understand themselves and their relationships better, and to move forward.

What is your educational background?

My background includes a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Miami University and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University.

I’ve also received additional training in SYMBIS for marital and premarital counseling, along with Expressive Arts, Adlerian, and Gottman approaches.

I’m licensed as an LPC in the State of Kansas.

What does a client need to know to make the most of working with you?

All that’s needed is a willingness to begin.

Motivation and commitment often grow over time with support and the right process.

Therapy is a process of discovery, and especially at the beginning, it can feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable as we gently pay attention to parts of your experience that may have been pushed aside or carried quietly for a long time.

Cats or Dogs?

Dogs… mostly because my allergies won’t allow for anything else.

Pets, in general, have a powerful way of supporting mental health and emotional well-being.

Beach or mountains?

I’m a mountain person at heart, though I believe all of nature is restorative, whether that’s time in the mountains or by the ocean.
