Frequently asked questions

Do you take insurance?

No. I’m a private-pay practice and don’t provide superbills. Under federal law, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of your costs before we begin.

Do you offer online or video sessions?

No. All sessions, including the free consultation, are in person at my office in Monument.

Will you take sides?

No. My role is to help you both understand what’s happening between you. I’m on the side of your relationship.

What if my partner doesn’t want to come?

That’s very common. Many couples start with one partner more ready than the other. The free consultation is a low-pressure way to meet me and ask questions together.

Do we both need to come to the consultation?

It’s best if you both come. If one of you would rather talk with me alone first, that’s fine; I’ll then invite your partner to a consultation of their own.

Is what we share confidential?

Yes, within the limits of the law, which I’ll explain at our first meeting. I understand that privacy matters in a small community, and I take it seriously.

How long does therapy take?

It varies, but on average couples work with me for six to nine months. See how it works.

Is it too late for us?

Rarely. Couples who are most distressed when they start often make some of the biggest gains.

Do you offer check-ins after we finish?

Yes. Occasional check-in sessions can help your progress last.
