Frequently Asked Questions
What type of therapy do you practice?
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that there’s no “one size fits all” in psychotherapy, because every person has their own personality and life experience. I respect that, so I’ve put in a lot of time learning a diverse range of therapeutic approaches. That way, I can tailor my approach to your particular needs. And if I don’t personally practice that type of therapy, at least I’ll know enough to refer you to a qualified colleague.
Here the specific types of therapy I do usually work with:
Individual Therapy:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Eclectic/Integrative Therapy

How long does a typical session last?
A session usually lasts 50 minutes. Sometimes, the type of therapy being used calls for a longer session. For example, EMDR often does; likewise marriage counseling. In such cases, sessions can extend to an hour or an hour and a half. We will decide together how much time is needed.
