Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be abstinent to work with you?
No. I meet clients wherever they are in their recovery journey. While I personally believe in the power of complete abstinence, I never impose that on anyone. Together we’ll explore what recovery means for you and what next steps feel right.

Do I need to be religious to work with you?
Not at all. My approach is spiritually integrated for clients who want that, but I also provide fully secular, evidence-based therapy. I will always respect your values and beliefs.

What happens in the first session?
Our first meeting includes a psychosocial assessment — a structured way to learn about your history, current challenges, and goals. It’s also a chance for us to build trust and start creating a path forward that feels right for you.

How do online sessions work?
Sessions are held via secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. All you need is a private space, a device, and a reliable internet connection. Many clients appreciate the convenience and confidentiality of meeting from home.

Do you accept insurance?
Yes, I accept a range of insurance plans through Grow Therapy. I also offer self-pay options. Please contact me to discuss coverage and payment details.

What if I’m not sure I’m ready for therapy?
That’s okay. Many clients start with uncertainty. My role is to meet you where you are, help you explore your options, and support you in clarifying your next steps.
