Frequently asked questions:
Where are you located?
I am based and licensed in Wisconsin. I am APIT certified by the PSYPACT Commission, which means I am able to see individuals located in 42 different states. Please click here to check if you are located in one of these states.
Can I see you in person?
I am currently only seeing individuals via telehealth. Current research indicates that telehealth is as good, or better, as in-person therapy for most diagnoses. Certain diagnoses, presentations, and levels of acuity are best treated in person. For this reason, we will use part of the 15 minute consultation to determine if telehealth is the best form of therapy to meet your needs.
What is your availability?
I am open on weekdays and offer sessions in the mornings and afternoons, ranging from 10am-4pm CST. Please reach out to me if there is specific availability you are needing and I can let you know if I can accommodate that.
What are your fees?

What can I expect from therapy?
Therapy is a bit different for everyone. The first session is more of an information-gathering session, where I will ask you questions about your background, what’s bringing you in, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. The remaining sessions are more based on what your goals are and what you want to be focusing on. It sometimes takes a few sessions to get comfortable in therapy. I encourage you to plan on starting with 8-12 sessions. Therapy is very collaborative, so be prepared to have topics you want to work on in session. Some sessions may be more hands-on, where I teach you specific skills and psychological concepts. Other sessions may be more focused on processing the past, present, and future.
What is the cancellation policy?
Please give as much notice as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours advanced notice will be charged the full session fee.
What is the discharge policy?
Reasons include the natural end of therapy, individuals choosing to discontinue, being referred to another provider/level of care, no communication for more than 60 days, 3 late cancels/no-shows in a row, and noncompliance with treatment.
