Frequently Asked Questions
-
Will we meet in-person or virtually?
I understand that the prospect of therapy may initially evoke feelings of fear and discomfort. My goal is to create a warm and supportive environment in our Culver City office, where you can feel safe to share openly and embrace your journey toward healing.
Beyond offering in-person therapy in Los Angeles County, I also provide online therapy throughout the state of California. This option allows you to participate in therapy sessions from the comfort of your home, offering both convenience and reduced stress.

What are the steps for starting therapy?
A free 20-minute consultation is a great place to start. You can reach out to me via the contact form on the website or directly via email/phone.
You can get to know me a bit and ask any questions you may have, and I can hear more about what you are looking for to see if we’ll be a good fit.
If we decide to work together, we can discuss rates, availability, and I will send you initial paperwork to fill out before we meet.
-
What does a first session look like?
Creating a sturdy basis for therapy starts with gathering information.
In the initial sessions, the focus is on understanding your present circumstances, the history of the issue, family of origin, and other helpful aspects while progressing at a pace that suits you.
During this time, I’ll also ask a lot of questions, and together we will make a solid plan to meet your goals.

What is the time commitment for therapy?
Because each person is unique, the length of therapy is unique as well. This is a conversation that will be included in the process of therapy.
