Frequently Asked Questions

Many of my clients—especially men—come to me after years of trying to push through difficulties alone. The truth is, seeking support isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of wisdom. We’re wired for connection, and sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is reach out. Working with a therapist doesn’t mean you’re incapable—it means you’re committed to real change and willing to use every resource available to get there. My job isn’t to fix you; it’s to help you access the strength and clarity that’s already within you.

I understand this hesitation. You’re investing your time and energy, and you want to know it will make a difference. The truth is, the challenges you’re facing right now are also opportunities for profound growth and transformation—but only if you’re willing to engage in the process. My approach is practical, not abstract. We’ll work on real areas of your life that you want to improve, and you’ll begin to notice shifts in how you relate to yourself, your emotions, and the people around you. That’s why I offer a free consultation first—so we can talk about what’s going on for you and whether we’re a good fit before you commit.

Feeling safe and comfortable is everything in therapy—I never expect anyone to dive into the deep end right away. We go at your pace, and my role is to create a non-judgmental, welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are. Many clients tell me that within just a few sessions, they no longer feel like they’re talking to a stranger but to someone who genuinely sees them and is in their corner. The initial consultation call is a low-pressure way to get a sense of whether we click before you make any decisions.

In general, sessions are 50 minutes in length and start on the hour. Longer or double sessions can be requested and discussed.

You bet! I offer a free 20-minute phone conversation.

It is important to me that you have an opportunity to share a bit about your situation and get to ask any questions before we meet.

My intention is to help you in any way that I can. If you or I do not feel it is a good fit, I am happy to help connect you to services that will best meet your needs.

I have several specialties including relationships, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, job and life transitions, depression, grief and loss, and spirituality.

Well, first, you call me at (203) 885-7405 (or fill out the contact form below). We can have a brief phone discussion as to what is going on for you and how I can help. If it feels like a ‘good fit,’ we will go ahead and set up a time to meet.

You will have an option of me emailing you my ‘intake documents’ for secure online review and signature, or you can sign them the old school way in person with ink on paper. Either way we will review this, and I will answer any questions you may have.
