Frequently Asked Questions
Where do sessions take place?
I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments. Your safety and comfort are my top priorities. I am vaccinated and my office space is in compliance with CDC recommendations regarding social distancing, office cleanliness, and air filtration. I utilize a HIPPA-compliant platform for telehealth appointments.
When do you see clients?
I do my best to accommodate a variety of schedules and have morning, afternoon, and evening appointments available throughout the week.
How often do you see clients?
I practice client-centered care. Together, we will determine appointment frequency with consideration to the acuity of your distress, your availability, and your personal preference.
Do you work with clients outside of your specialty areas?
Sometimes. I am trained as a generalist therapist and am comfortable working with clients who present with a range of concerns. I require a brief phone consultation with all potential clients to discuss individual needs and goals. If I feel that an individual may best be supported by a different provider, I offer appropriate referrals. I value integrity and privilege the profession’s Code of Ethics in my practice.
Do you offer support groups?
I am not facilitating support groups at this time. Please check out the Resources page for information about community group options.
Why all the poppies?
Thank you for asking! Since the First World War, poppies have come to symbolize loss and remembrance. In many cultures, poppies are given to the bereaved to wish peace for both the deceased and for those who are grieving. It is also believed that poppies were used by ancient healers to “calm the nerves” of patients in emotional distress. Though seemingly delicate, poppies bloom in vibrant color and are often considered the favorite of the wildflowers. The attributes of a vibrant poppy parallel the benefits that I hope my clients receive from therapy: feelings of peace and calm, support in grief and bereavement, and ever-blooming resilience.

“Grief is like a wildflower, it can erupt from the ground anywhere it chooses. When it blossoms, we must be careful not to step on it. Instead, we honour its existence and appreciate that love made it bloom.”
