Do you offer a free 15-minute consult?

Yes! The problem with such a brief conversation is that it’s rarely very therapeutic. What tends to happen is that it takes the 15 minutes just for you to explain the issues and then we're out of time before I've done anything very helpful.

Is video therapy effective?

Do you only do video therapy?

No! I do offer in-person sessions as well. However, because those sessions are conducted in a private residence, they are available only to existing clients (i.e., after at least one video session).

What about therapy with young children?

I find it to generally be tougher to conduct therapy with young children virtually. If your child has seen me before and needs to see me again, contact me, and we will make arrangements for an in-person session.
