Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?
Call or email me and we'll talk briefly about what's bringing you in. If it feels like a fit, we'll schedule a first session and I'll send you the intake form.
Do you see individuals as well as couples?
Yes. Much of my practice is couples and families, and I also work with individuals on relationship patterns, anxiety, anger and grief.
How long is a session?
Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes. Couples sessions are often longer so there is room for both partners to be heard.
How many sessions will we need?
It varies. Some couples come for a focused stretch of a few months; others continue longer. We'll review progress together as we go.
What is Imago therapy?
Imago is a structured dialogue approach that helps each partner speak and be truly heard. I am a certified Imago Therapist.
What is EFT?
Emotionally Focused Therapy helps couples identify the negative cycle they get stuck in and reach the softer feelings underneath. A good primer is centralpaeft.com/what-is-eft.
Is what I say confidential?
Yes, with the limited exceptions required by Pennsylvania law and professional ethics, which I'll review with you at our first session.
What about fees and insurance?
Please contact me directly to discuss current fees, payment and whether your insurance plan offers out-of-network reimbursement.
