Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you reach out.
Here are answers to common questions about my work, online sessions, rates, and getting started.
Getting started
How do I schedule an appointment?
Start by requesting a free fit call. We can talk about what is happening, what you are looking for, and whether I am the right fit for you both.
Take your next step →How do I refer someone to you?
Thank you for thinking of me. The simplest way is to send them to this website, where they can learn about my work and request a free fit call.
What if I am in crisis?
If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, please use the crisis resources on my Crisis Support page rather than waiting for a reply from me.
Visit Crisis Support →Couples therapy
Can I meet with you without my partner?
Sometimes, yes. Couples work can still be helpful when only one partner is ready to begin. I will talk with you about whether that approach makes sense for your situation.
Do you treat anxiety or depression?
I work with couples. I can address anxiety, depression, and other individual concerns as they affect the relationship work we are doing together.
Can you prescribe medication?
No. I do not prescribe medication.
How long are sessions?
The first three couples therapy sessions are 90 minutes each. Sessions after that are 60 minutes.
Online sessions
Do you meet with clients in person?
No. I meet with clients online across Michigan.
What is telehealth like?
We meet by secure video from the privacy of your own space. Most couples settle into the format quickly and are able to focus on the work.
What do I need for an online session?
A reliable Wi-Fi connection, a private place to talk, and a device with a camera and microphone. A computer or tablet is usually easier than a phone when I am sharing something on screen.
Rates and payment
Do you accept insurance?
No. I work with couples only and do not accept insurance. You can find my current rates and session formats on the Rates page.
View current rates →What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept credit cards, debit cards, and HSA cards.
Current clients and other requests
How do current clients schedule or find their session link?
We can schedule at the end of a session, or you can use your client portal. I will provide your telehealth link and onboarding details when you become a client.
Will you write an emotional support animal letter?
No. I do not provide emotional support animal letters.
Can you testify in court or write a letter for court?
I avoid court testimony and legal letters whenever possible. If legal involvement becomes required, the relevant policies and fees are outlined in my consent form.
Can you speak to my group?
I would be glad to hear what you have in mind. Send me the topic, audience, and rough time frame, and I will get back to you about the details.
