Frequently Asked Questions

Answers before you ask

The questions I hear most from people considering therapy for the first time.

How do I know if therapy is right for me? +
If you're asking this question, it's likely a good sign that therapy could help. Therapy is beneficial for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wanting to understand themselves better. You don't need a crisis to benefit from talking to a professional. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can explore this together — no commitment needed.
What happens in the first session? +
The first session is all about getting to know each other. I'll ask questions about your background, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to achieve. You're also welcome to ask me questions. There's no pressure to share everything right away — we go at your pace. I also like to educate and empower clients from our very first meeting.
Do you offer sessions in Spanish? +
Yes! I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and bi-cultural. I provide therapy in whichever language you are most comfortable with. Being able to express yourself in your native language can make a significant difference in the therapeutic process.
How long does therapy take? +
The length of therapy varies significantly from person to person. Some clients find relief in a few months, while others may benefit from longer-term work. We'll regularly check in on your progress and goals together. Individual sessions are 60 minutes, and most clients meet weekly.
What is telehealth therapy like? +
Telehealth therapy happens through secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions from the comfort of your home. Many clients find that telehealth reduces barriers to care — no commute, no waiting room, and the comfort of your own space. Research shows telehealth therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for most conditions.
Do you accept my insurance? +
I accept a wide range of insurance plans including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Ambetter, and many more. I also accept HSA/FSA payments. If you're unsure about your coverage, please contact me and I'll be happy to help verify your benefits.
What is EMDR and does it really work? +
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process traumatic memories in a new way. During EMDR, you focus on a traumatic memory while following bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements). This helps your brain "unstick" the memory and store it in a less distressing way. It's one of the most researched and effective treatments for PTSD.
