Frequently Asked Questions
What type of therapy do you offer?
I offer solution-focused, relational online therapy grounded in over 30 years of clinical experience. Therapy is intentional and forward-looking, emphasizing clarity, practical strategies, and meaningful change rather than open-ended exploration.
Is your therapy short-term or long-term?
My work is often shorter-term and focused, though the length of therapy depends on your goals and circumstances. Sessions are purposeful, and therapy is never extended without clear intention or benefit.
Do you offer online therapy in California and Utah?
Yes. I provide online therapy to clients located in California and Utah, where I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). All sessions are conducted via secure telehealth platforms.
Do you work with individuals, couples, and families?
Yes. I work with individuals, couples, and families, including families with adult children and blended families. I also provide therapy and consultation for mental health professionals.
What is Imago therapy, and do you use it?
Imago therapy is a relational approach that helps people understand recurring patterns and communicate more consciously. As an Imago Certified Therapist, I integrate these principles—especially with couples and families—in a practical, solution-focused way.
Do you provide therapy for mental health professionals?
Yes. I offer both therapy and professional consultation for mental health professionals. Therapy addresses personal or relational concerns, while consultation focuses on clinical dynamics, ethical questions, and professional decision-making.
What is the difference between therapy and consultation?
Therapy is client-centered and focuses on personal or relational concerns.
Consultation is professional in nature and focuses on clinical work, ethical questions, or career decisions. We clarify which format best fits your needs at the outset.
Do you accept insurance?
No. This is a private-pay practice. Payment is due at the time of service, and insurance is not billed. This allows therapy to remain focused on clinical goals rather than insurance requirements.
Why choose private-pay therapy?
Private-pay therapy offers greater discretion, flexibility, and autonomy. It allows the work to focus on your goals without diagnostic or administrative constraints imposed by insurance companies.
Is online therapy effective?
Yes. Research shows online therapy to be effective for individuals, couples, and families, particularly when conducted by an experienced clinician. Many clients value the convenience, privacy, and consistency teletherapy provides.
How do I know if this therapist is a good fit for me?
My practice is well suited for clients who value experience, discretion, and solution-focused work. It is especially appropriate for those seeking clarity and forward movement rather than long-term exploratory therapy.
