No therapist can guarantee a particular outcome. Progress depends on many factors, including fit, the nature of the concern, participation, circumstances, and the treatment approach. A consultation and initial assessment can help us decide whether my services are appropriate.

We will discuss your concerns, relevant history, strengths, safety, goals, and what you hope will change. You can also ask questions about my approach. Assessment may continue beyond the first session when needed.

The length of therapy varies. Some clients want focused work on a defined concern; others need more time for complex or longstanding patterns. We will review progress and continued need together rather than assuming an unlimited course of treatment.

For the time being, services are provided by secure telehealth (video link) or telephone. For therapy, you must be physically located in Florida at the time of the session. You will need a private, quiet setting, a reliable internet connection, and your current location available for emergency planning purposes.

No. I am open about being a follower of Christ and believing Scripture is authoritative, but clients are not required to share my faith. Biblical counseling is available for those who request it. Otherwise, your beliefs and preferences will be respected, and explicit faith practices will not be imposed.

Although rare, they do happen. I will need to know your physical location when we meet. In the event of an emergency, I will need to be able to direct emergency services to your location.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am not legally allowed to prescribe medication. Medication can be helpful for some people and conditions. If an evaluation may support your care, I can discuss referral to a qualified medical professional. Decisions about medication belong between you and the prescribing clinician only.

You may end therapy at any time. When possible, I encourage discussing the decision so we can review progress, address concerns, and plan referrals or next steps. If I believe another service or level of care would better meet your needs, I will explain why and help identify options when possible.
