Who do you work with?
For Psychotherapy, I work with individuals, couples, partners, and all forms of relationship with respect and humility, honoring all identities, orientations, and relationship structures. For Creative Process and Identity, I work with artists, musicians, writers, actors, makers, and all creatives.
What is Individual Therapy with you like?
Short-term individual therapy sessions focus on helping individuals clarify their values, strengthen communication and boundaries, gain emotional and decision-making clarity, and navigate major life transitions with confidence. I believe you can work on your relationships with or without your partner present.
How does Couples Therapy work?
For couples therapy questions using my approach, see the FAQ: How couples therapy works.
How long does Couples Therapy usually take?
For most couples, 6-10 sessions is enough to see traction for your issues. I do not see therapy as open-ended and if we do not come to a resolution in a reasonable amount of time (ten weeks), then we look for alternative routes for you. See How long does couples therapy take?
What kinds of therapeutic techniques do you use?
i incorporate evidence-based relational and psychological techniques, including Gottman Method (Levels 1 & 2) for couples, Solution-Focused and ACT-based strategies. My approach is also informed by mediation principles. See the therapeutic approaches I incorporate in my practice.
What is Mediation?
A fair, neutral guidance for conversations between adults, adult children and parents, co-parents, caregivers, or any relationship that feels off track. My therapeutic approach uses grounding principles from mediation such as objectivity, neutrality, and fairness. For mediation questions and answers, delve deeper into what mediation is →

Do you see children/families?
reConnect Care is focused on adults (ages 18+). I do see families as part of my work but I do not work directly with the courts or child protective services. I adore kids, but I work primarily with Adults 20+. If you have a child needing help, I would be treating you as a family.
What is your cancellation policy?
I require 24 hours’ notice for cancellation of appointments. I charge 50% for all missed appointments unless notified by 24 hours before your appointment.
Why are you called reConnect Care?
Re-connecting happens when we approach ourselves, our relationships, and our creativity with care—repairing the ruptures that occur in ‘self-with-self’ and ‘self-with-others.’ I believe it happens when any two people choose to work together equitably on what’s difficult, whether they ultimately stay together or part ways.
