Frequently Asked Questions
-
I specialize in virtual therapy for individuals, couples and families in all stages of relationship challenges, including poor communication, trust issues (such as infidelity and financial betrayals), intimacy and sexual difficulties, and behavioral addictions (like gambling, internet/gaming, or pornography). My focus is on helping couples reconnect, rebuild trust, and grow together.
-
Yes, research shows that online couples therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions. Many couples find online therapy to be highly beneficial, as it offers the same tools and techniques but with the added convenience of attending from home. Just as in in-person therapy, you and your partner will have the opportunity to share, listen, and connect with each other in a safe, structured space.
-
My approach is collaborative and target for your specific needs. My role isn’t to dictate an agenda but to support both of you in finding clarity and understanding. I am trained in The Gottman Method, Imago Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy, and I teach techniques like mirroring, validation, and empathy to improve communication and understanding.
-
Couples therapy is not about forcing a specific outcome. My role is to help you both understand yourselves and your relationship, so you can make the decision that’s best for you. Some couples stay together and grow stronger, while others may find that separating is the healthiest choice.
Therapy can bring clarity, healing, and mutual respect, no matter the outcome.

The cost of sessions varies based on length and complexity.
A 60 minute session is $250, while 90 minute sessions are $350. Please contact me for specific pricing details. If you’re concerned about affordability, we can discuss options or alternatives during our initial consultation.
-
Many private practice therapists do not accept insurance directly, and I may be considered an out-of-network provider depending on your insurance plan. However, some insurance plans will reimburse you directly a portion of the session fee for out-of-network services.
I am happy to provide you with a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
-
Each session is structured to address your most pressing issues as a couple. We may explore current challenges, discuss past experiences that influence your relationship, or practice new techniques. My aim is to create a safe, supportive environment where both partners feel understood and valued.
I also find that giving exercises for individuals within the couple and together as a couple is very helpful.
-
The length of therapy varies based on each couple’s situation, goals, and progress. Some couples see improvement within a few sessions, while most benefit from longer-term work, especially if there are longstanding patterns or deep-seated issues to address.
-
A typical couples therapy session lasts 50 minutes. In some cases, we may schedule extended sessions (up to 90 minutes) if we feel more time is beneficial to work through complex issues.
-
To get started, contact me to schedule an initial consultation. This first step allows us to discuss your needs, goals, and any questions you may have, and it will help you determine if couples therapy feels right for you and if we are a good fit.
-
It’s definitely best for couples to come together. However, I do see individuals within the couple. My method in general is to see the couple together once and then (unless the couple does not want it) I see each person in the relationship for a session for two reasons.
I want to learn about that individual's past family and dating history, as well as any previous small or big traumas. (This is very important as people have lives and baggage before they get into a relationship, and it can strongly affect the relationship dynamic. Understanding this is crucial.)
The second reason is to give each partner the opportunity to share in a way that they may not feel comfortable or safe doing just yet in front of their other half. (This however means there is an agreement not to share a secret that one is not willing to bring up in therapy together, as secrets are difficult and unhealthy for a therapist to hold onto when they are trying to help a couple heal.)
