Frequently Asked Questions

 

How can therapy help me?

A therapist doesn’t solve your problems for you. Rather, he or she helps you clarify issues so you can solve problems on your own with a therapist’s guidance, support, and expertise. The goal of therapy is to make you more self-sufficient, not more dependent.

What issues can therapy help with?

Therapy can support adults with trauma, ADHD, anxiety, burnout, high-masking, relationship struggles, and life transitions. We tailor sessions to your unique experience and goals.

How does EMDR therapy work?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured approach to help the brain process traumatic memories and reduce distress. It involves bilateral stimulation and guided processing so your nervous system can work toward a sense of safety and resolution.

Can therapy be done online?

Yes — I offer secure, confidential telehealth therapy for adults in Colorado. Online therapy lets you meet with me from home and is just as effective as in-person support for many issues.

What if I’m nervous about starting therapy?

Feeling nervous is very common. Therapy is a safe space with no judgment. We move at your pace and focus first on building trust and comfort.

How do I know if you are the right therapist for me?

Fit matters. I offer consultations so you can get a sense of my style and approach. If it doesn’t feel like a match, I’m happy to help you find someone who might be.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. Therapy is private and protected by law. There are specific legal exceptions related to safety that we will review during your intake paperwork.

How do I get started with therapy?

To start therapy, you can contact me through the Contact page, complete a brief intake form, and we’ll schedule your first telehealth session. I’ll explain what to expect and help you prepare so you feel comfortable.

What if I don’t think therapy is “working”?

It’s normal to wonder if therapy is effective. Often the best measure of progress is whether you feel gradually more understood, empowered, and equipped with tools that fit your life. We can adjust the approach together if you feel stuck.

Do you accept insurance or provide superbills?

Yes. I am in-network with most major insurance plans for adults seeking telehealth therapy in Colorado.

If you have United Healthcare, I am considered an out-of-network provider. I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement, depending on your benefits.

If you prefer not to use insurance, private pay options are also available. I’m happy to help you understand what might work best for your situation.

What can I expect in my first therapy session??

Your first session will focus on getting to know you: your goals, history, current concerns, and what you hope therapy can help with. We’ll also answer any questions you have and begin building a plan that fits your needs.

How long does therapy usually take?

Therapy length varies depending on your goals and concerns. Some people see meaningful change within a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support. We can discuss expectations in your first few appointments.

These are some common questions people in Colorado ask when beginning telehealth therapy.
